LUBBOCK, Texas — Over the last year, a Lubbock house, located at 34th Street and Chicago Avenue, has put a smile on the community’s face with its scene of skeletons in the front yard.
The mastermind behind the skeleton set-up, Justin Locke, told EverythingLubbock.com why he arranges the skeletons in his yard.
“Halloween is a special holiday for us,” Locke said.
Locke and his wife, Mandy, got married on Halloween at Nightmare on 19th Street nearly seven years ago. The pair celebrates October birthdays and decided to make October an extra special month for them by saying “I do” on the spooky occasion.

The skeleton scene started when Locke got a 12-foot skeleton and decided to get him a friend, and then a couple more. Today, Locke has over 20 skeletons, not including the baby skeletons.
After Halloween last year, Locke and his wife decided to decorate the skeletons for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the skeleton scene then continued for Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day and every other holiday and event throughout the year.
