Temecula Halloween Home Boasts Pirates, 20-Foot Octopus Tentacles

TEMECULA, CA — Looking for a spooky good time in Temecula on Halloween? How about a bit of free entertainment by checking out some of the best decorations around town?!

Temecula Patch Reader Kevin Mosteller shared the above images of his home decked out in all things pirate. Located within the Harveston community, the 'Dave Jones Locker' home is not to be missed.

Mosteller's home, located at 40205 Balboa Drive, won the city of Temecula's 2019 Halloween home decorating contest for the category of "best theme."

Mosteller says this project, which him and his wife Heidi have been doing for more than six years, took him two months to set up. They love pirates, and you can tell from the details down to the 20-foot tentacles. Last year, a flash mob even set up outside the popular attraction (see video below.)

"Kids say it the Disneyland of Harveston and come by every day; they can't get enough," Mosteller told Patch.

The community is encouraged to come by and check it out on Halloween. (All of the decorations won't be back up until then.)

And while you're out and about, be sure to check out some of the other winners of this year's decorating contest:
