Peekskill-Cortlandt's Halloween Decorations (PHOTO GALLERY)

Is there a scary home on your block? Do your spooky decorations draw crowds on Halloween? Tell us in the comments.

On Halloween night the Lyle family in Peekskill have little ghosts and goblins flocking to their less-than welcoming front door (a witch is hanging on it). But first the trick-or-treaters walk down a spooky and smokey path, lined with decapitated barbie dolls, life-size vampires, ghosts and gravestones engraved with "beware."

"We love Halloween. It is my kids favorite holiday," Dawn Lyles said of her kids, 11, 13 and 17 years old. The family has been pulling out all the stops for Halloween and Christmas for at least the last six years, Lyles said.

Dawn said her husband Gary buys a new item each year to add to their Halloween fun house. This year's new item is a big black blow-up cat with a moving head that is perched above the front entrance. Check it out in the photos.
