LikeLewis the Jack-O-Lanternor Home Depot’s infamous13-foot skeleton, most Halloween decorations are a harmless ode to spooky season. But one home in Glens Falls, N.Y. had such realistic decorations, that neighbors thought there was an emergency inside.
The Glens Falls Fire Department posteda video to Facebookon Sept. 30 showing a home that appears to be engulfed in orange flames. They can be seen blazing in every window of the house, and a smoke-like haze seemingly clings to the outside.
“Tonight crews were dispatched to the area of Sanford St. for a report of a confirmed structure fire,” the caption of the video reads. “To our surprise this was an amazing Halloween decoration, This display will be up Friday and Saturday nights for the public’s entertainment until the end of the month.”
“Our neighbors are so creative! Way to go John & Matt, it is so realistic!” one commenter wrote, to which the Glens Falls Fire Department responded: “They were both amazing! Thank them again, we like these calls.”
Some of this year’s other viral Halloween decorations are a little less scary.

An8-foot Jack-o'-Lantern named Lewishas also gone viral on Tiktok.
The decoration, which retails for $180, is currently listed as sold out on Target’s website, but social media users have been obsessed with how the pumpkin that is situated on top of a body draped in tattered black robes also speaks.

“I am not a jack-o'-lantern,” the prop can be heard saying in videos shared online. “My name is Lewis.”
In other statements, the decoration also says, “I’m so happy you could carve out some time to come out tonight” and “I fear nothing night or day, except a strong breeze to make me sway.”
