Nitey-fright, dearest Oakland 🧡
A frontyard Halloween display consists of four skeletons positioned in various dance moves on wood chips, with one playing DJ. Gravestones reading “Bury Me at the Club” and “Rave to the Grave” face the unseen sidewalk. Illuminated pumpkin lights hang from stands wrapped in black tape. Green flowerless bushes line the background and abut the house.
