137 Prospect Ave., Sea Cliff

This home in Sea Cliff was two houses away from an unsolved mystery in 1894, the Beautiful Sea Cliff blog shared. A wealthy furniture dealer's daughter and her fiancé were found dead of chloroform and a gunshot, respectively. What happened was never determined, but the eerie history of the street is reflected in this home's decor.

1039 Traymore Blvd., Island Park

There are no vacancies at this Bates Hotel recreation in Island Park, a sign says amid an eclectic Halloween display. The original Bates Hotel, the setting for the classic horror Alfred Hitchcock movie "Psycho," has been scaring generations and the Long Island version has been growing since 1995. The homeowners accept donations from visitors for breast cancer awareness.

19 Railroad Ave., Amityville

In Amityville, a creepy light display and interactive sounds accompany a Halloween house that's all for a good cause. Angelo Vargas tells Patch that he decorates to raise money for kids to attend a camp for Erb's palsy, a condition his daughter was diagnosed with. The haunted displays move, talk and play tunes like Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and the theme from "Ghostbusters."

"We are trying to sponsor as many kids as possible to go for free. We understand how much it entails so we are trying to give back."

This house's show is weather-dependent, Vargas says, so check the forecast before coming.

4 Peppermint Rd., Commack

If "Peppermint Chop House" doesn't sound creepy, wait until this Commack home's decorations come alive with shooting flames and scary characters prowling the property. Richie McMahon and his daughter Nicole told Patch in 2013 that they start decorating on Oct. 1 and the displays keep growing each year. The full show will take place on Oct. 31 from 6 to 10 p.m., and the homeowners will accept donations for Commack families in need.

"I do it all for the kids. And I'm a kid at heart too," McMahon said.
