Matthew Hammond of Virginia has an Over the Top Halloween Display Complete With Gambling Skeletons and Eddie Munster Style DragsterMatthew Hammond is a fifth-generation carpenter, and his skill in carpentry is showcased in his front yard every October. For years, Hammond has been bringing his yard to life every Halloween season, using lights, smoke machines, and skeletons of various sizes. This year, Hammond's theme is a dry dock. In his installation, some skeletons can be seen pulling a boat out into the open seas, while others dance, drink, gamble, and play music. If you're ever in Northern Virginia, make sure to pass by Hammond's yard located at the intersection of Mount Vernon Highway and Patton Blvd. Undeniably, Hammond loves Halloween, and he seems to have a skele-TON of fun making his scenes.
