MARCUS HOOK, Pa. -

There are plenty of games played on the fields surrounding Sixth and Market streets in Marcus Hook, but an even bigger competition may be happening right across the street.

Residents in the area are taking Halloween to a whole new level, with extensive decorations that include giant crawling spiders and large ghouls and goblins.

Other homes in the area feature skulls and skeletons and large inflatables that might just take your breath away.

Rich Roehm, who decorated his home with the giant spiders, says the kids get a kick out of it.

Another neighbor, Bob Tuohey, tells Fox 29 it takes an entire day to decorate for this one night of the year., but he feels it brings the neighbors closer together.
