Spooktacular Tradition Continues
Geelong's beloved Halloween house competition is back and bigger than ever, inviting residents to transform their homes into haunted masterpieces that will send shivers down the spines of trick-or-treaters and judges alike.
The annual event has become a cherished community tradition, bringing neighbourhoods together in a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and good old-fashioned spooky fun. From elaborate graveyard scenes to haunted mansion facades, Geelong homeowners have consistently raised the bar for Halloween excellence.

Homeowners eager to showcase their decorating talents can now register their properties for consideration. The competition welcomes entries of all scales - from subtly eerie to full-scale haunted attractions that would make even the bravest souls think twice about approaching the front door.
"We're looking for that perfect blend of creativity, execution, and pure Halloween spirit," said a competition spokesperson. "Whether you're going for classic horror or family-friendly fun, we want to see how Geelong does Halloween best."
Judging Criteria and Prizes
Properties will be assessed based on several key factors:
- Creativity and originality of the display concept

- Overall impact and spook factor
- Community engagement and neighbourhood spirit
Winners will receive bragging rights as Geelong's Halloween champions for the entire year, along with special recognition and prizes that celebrate their dedication to making the city's Halloween celebrations truly memorable.
A Growing Halloween Phenomenon
