Long Beach family creates yard art for Halloween

It might be a trick to make Halloween a treat this year, but one Long Beach family is making it a little easier.

Low 70s- it might be a trick to make - - - - halloween a treat this year, bu- one long beach family is making- it a little easier.

- four years ago, maggie kahle- kale- and her mom began a tradition o- hand-making movie - characters at their home on - royal drive to decorate the - yard for the holidays.- from the nightmare before - christmas in- their first year, to this year'- theme of hotel translavania, th- duo begins painting a month in- advance, and each character - takes 3 to 4 days to complete.- maggie says they try to keep th- yard whimsical for the kids, an- they've received a lot of great- feedback over the years.- - "anytime we're outside in the - yard, - someone will stop and make- comments.

I've had personal - messages sent to me;- alot of kids call this the tv - house or the movie house becaus- all the characters are- - - - up to date to their time.

We- plan on having halloween this - year, hopefully covid's - not going to put a damper on- that.

We've looked into some- social distancing - type things.

We want people to- come by.

We love when people- come and take - - - - pictures in the yard."- the real fun begins at night, - when they turn on the lights fo- each character.

- ghostbuster ghosts also fly - around, and on the night of - hallows eve they'll turn on the- music and fog
