For as long as I can remember, my family has always enjoyed celebrating Halloween + decorating our house for the occasion. We’ve done themes like “Phantom of the Opera,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and the list goes on. 🎃

So, we’re asking you to submit your own Halloween-decorated home to help get us into the Halloween spirit. 👻

Whether it’s giving more ‘Fright Fest’ or more ‘Tricks and Treats,’ we want to see it all.

To submit:

The deadline to submit is Fri., October 21, and once we’ve picked our top four favorites, you’ll get to choose which one is San Jose’s ultimate Halloween house. The winner gets bragging rights — and a $25 gift card to our Six & Main Shop. 👏

So what are you waiting for? Get snapping. 📸
