LFP City Employee Showcases Spooktacular House

A colleague of Anita Goddard gave us a news tip about a wonderful Halloween front yard in Kenmore, Wash. Please enjoy the pictures of Chateau Spooky by Anita and Frank Goddard.

Frankenstein,Β the movie, played in black and white on a silver screen as fog machines created an eerie Β presence of ghosts and goblins in the front yard of Frank and Anita Goddard's home in Kenmore.

Anita Goddard is a an employee of The City of Lake Forest Park, Wash. Β She and her husband Frank put in many hours before the final product that you see in these pictures. Β Anita spent three to four hours each day after work from Oct. 1 through 24 to highlight the spiders, skeletons and witches that will greet trick-or-treaters tonight.

Anita and her younger sister (affectionately referred to as "Termite") have been designing and building haunted gardens and spooky houses since they were children. Β The sisters' love affair with Halloween started when Anita was about nine years old. Β She and Termite were raised near Santa Barbara, Calif. as they delighted friends and family with creepy creatures and more expansive expressions of fright-night art. Β
