A Halloween Driving Tour

Ivy Hall: 3241 Morningdale Drive

3241 Morningdale Drive is THE home to see in North Mt. Pleasant.  Owner, Kelly Frazier Miller, and mastermind behind the Halloween decorations said that she makes many of her props by hand. Miller starts building the props in April and usually spends eight hours a day for several weeks to set everything up. In total, it takes her hundreds of hours to complete her masterpiece.

“I have always loved Halloween and my son is a Halloween fanatic as well but I was decorating well before him. I also decorate for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Fourth of July. It has been a very busy year! Seeing the joy that I bring to all of the people who come to see it makes all the work worth it! That’s really what it is all about for me.” Miller said.

This is definitely one to see!
