Wanted: haunted houses

Halloween is fast approaching and The Acorn is looking for creative families in the community who are working hard to think up and put out special holiday decorations.

If you're going to turn your home or yard into a true Halloween haunt with fun outdoor visuals, alarming sights or colorful decor, please tells us via e-mail at newstip@theacorn.com.

We'd love to hear from you--the deadline is Wed., Oct. 17--and we'll let our readers know the whole scary story. Plan on having your home photographed.
