The Ghoulish Sights of Halloween In OB – a Photo Gallery

Do Not Allow Your Kids to See These Photos!
OB gets into Halloween. Obviously, no longer just a kid’s thing – the front porches and yards of OB residences prove that all kinds of people – get into it.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAWe set out with camera in hand to capture just how much Ocean Beach is into this un-holiday holiday.

We saw many graveyards, ghosts, spiders, pumpkins of course, and webs.  Even a shark!

(hey, just a hint: you can’t just grab last years Christmas angelhair and spread it out for spiders’ webs – ya gotta do more if anything)

We found some wonderful, ghoulish displays – and hey, we couldn’t get everyone’s and we couldn’t get all the best – but we did find some of the best. (If you think yours or a neighbor’s yard deserved mention, send us a pic via obragblog@gmail.com )

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASo follow us along – and really, the folks on Brighton deserve a hearty round of Halloween applause, as in total, that street had some of the best.

Eyes up!

Then, near the end of Brighton Ave., we found a motherlode of frightening monsters, skeletons and pirates – in an alcove off the alley.  Unbelievable!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAMuch like some neighborhoods of upscale Point Loma really get into Christmas displays, here – the folks of lower Brighton really get into their own displays. Ecck! Pity the poor kids who happen upon this alley. Here are some details:
