Halloween Display Guide 2025: Check Out These Spooky Yards In Northern VA

VIRGINIA — Throughout October, ordinary homes around Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg become the stomping grounds of ghosts, skeletons, zombies and other creepy creatures.

One of the best traditions during the spooky season is visiting Halloween displays. We asked Northern Virginia Patch readers to share their Halloween yard displays for our 2025 guide.

You can still submit your Halloween displays in this Google Form or sending details and photos to Emily.Leayman@patch.com. Please only submit photos you took. By submitting a photo, you acknowledge that you took the photo and agree to let Patch post it in our 2025 guide.

Below are some of the photos we've received from Virginia residents. We will continue adding to our Halloween display guide through Halloween on Friday, Oct. 31.
