Five of the Best Cleveland Halloween Yard Displays We've Seen in Recent History

The Pirate Ship – Lorain In 2013, Lorain resident Ricky Rodriguez built an enormous pirate ship addition to his mother’s Tacoma Avenue and East 30th Street home. (Screenshot NewsNet5)

The ship stood as tall as a second story window and appeared as if it’d just crashed through the side of the house following a make-believe ship wreck. (Sceenshot NewsNet5)

A carpenter, Rodriguez used vinyl siding, shingles, and bricks- all materials he had on hand. (Sceenshot NewsNet5)

If it were up to us, this puppy stay up year round. Rodriguez’s mother might have other ideas… (Sceenshot NewsNet5)

The Cleveland Browns Quarterback Graveyard – North Ridgeville Then there’s the Cleveland Browns QB graveyard, which was just put up this year by a North Ridgeville couple. (Screenshot WOIO)

“My wife proposes the idea: what about a quarterback graveyard?” homeowner Tony Timoteo told WOIO. “We didn’t even know how we would make the headstones. I just go, ‘if we are going to do it, we gotta do it right.'” (Screenshot WOIO)

Again, kudos for the great idea. (Screenshot WOIO) Credit: Tony Timoteo/WOIO

Dead Body House – Parma This display made headlines over the last few weeks after Parma residents clamored that it was far too gruesome for a neighborhood located near an elementary school. (Screenshot Fox8)

At first, the homeowners held their ground. Then they folded and took down the display. THEN they said F*&$ It! and put it back up just in time for the holiday. (Screenshot Fox8)
