Halloween decorations in Vickery Place. Photo by Renee Umsted.

We’re a week into October, and our neighborhood is preparing for Halloween.

That includes planning costumes, stocking up on candy and, of course, decorating the house.

It’s a busy time for everyone. The State Fair of Texas has started, the big Red River game is this weekend, and football season is in full swing for high school, college and pro leagues. People are getting holiday plans nailed down, flights booked, menus set.

There’s a lot to do. So if you don’t have time to cruise the neighborhood to check out the decorations, we’re here to help. Just keep scrolling.

We’re seeing oversized inflatables, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, ghosts and pumpkins, decorations staked in the yard, stuck to the wall and hanging from the trees.
