Mobile Resident Halloween Spectacle: Halloween enthusiasts, meet Shane Burns, the Mobile resident who transforms his house into the ultimate Halloween Fun House. His passion for the spooky season is a lifelong affair, starting from childhood. Burns starts shopping for Halloween decorations as early as July, turning his home into a chilling spectacle.
The centerpiece of his collection is “Skelly,” a popular 12-foot skeleton from Home Depot. From there, his assortment has grown to include a 15-foot-tall zombie and various other spooky decorations. Burns doesn’t shy away from going the extra mile to find unique items, even driving a few hundred miles to stores like Costco or Lowe’s.
His Halloween devotion extends indoors, with almost every room in the house themed to evoke a haunted ambiance. The living room becomes a “Haunted Mansion,” the dining room transforms into a Michael Myers-themed space, and even the kitchen gets a “Hocus Pocus” makeover. Each room undergoes a transformation with the help of animatronics, thematic pictures, and careful lighting choices.
Shane’s daughter, Eliza, recounts memorable trips in pursuit of specific decorations, even bringing a witch all the way from Auburn to Mobile. The passion for Halloween decor isn’t just a personal joy for Shane; he finds delight in seeing kids and adults alike enjoy the spooky atmosphere.
As Halloween approaches, the challenge for Shane is not only putting up the decorations but also figuring out where to store the growing collection after the season. The garage might have to make room for the expanding assortment, with the possibility of toys and bikes making way for the love of Halloween.
For Shane Burns, the joy of Halloween lies not only in the decorations but in creating an experience that brings out the inner child in everyone who encounters his spooktacular creations.
