Halloween comes to town

Houses across the Yarra Ranges put on some great displays for Halloween this year, creating a map of houses to visit in the shire to experience the ultimate spookiness.

Yarra Valley Haunters, created by Narelle Stillwell, allowed families to plan their route for trick or treating and where to find the very best Halloween-esque houses.

Decorated houses spanned from Healesville, to Coldstream, Lilydale, Chirnside Park, Mount Evelyn and Woori Yallock, leaving a trail of happy children and parents.

It was a frightful night for some as spiders dropped from trees but most left with smiles on their faces, filled to the brim with lollies and sweet treats.

The spooky season may be over for another year but it just means Yarra Ranges residents have a full year to plan for next year.
