NEPTUNE BEACH, Fla. — People looking for a fright on Halloween had to go no farther than Neptune Beach.
One resident turned his front lawn into a spooky, outdoors haunted house for all to enjoy, right at the corner of South Street and 1st Street.
It’s a lot less scary during the day but at night you’re sure to jump at the South Street Freak Show.

“I’ve always been a big Halloween fan. One of my favorite holidays,” the show’s creator Sean Taylor said.
The man behind the spooky setup is Sean Taylor. He said the freak show is in its third year. It all started with one clown and grew into what you see today.
“This year I decided to bring in more characters,” Taylor said.
He added more frights, more terror, and more fun.
“We actually took a couple photos, family photos in front of the house,” neighbor Karla Brady said.
The spooky attraction is well known to neighbors and well known online. It even comes with its own hashtag: #southstfreakshow
Neighbors have stopped throughout October to take their own photos with the sinister decor.
Taylor said watching people go out of their way to visit makes all the work worthwhile.
“Basically, you have everyone from toddlers to senior citizens that come here. They walk through. They jump. They get spooked, but they’re usually laughing and having a good time,” Taylor said.

His future plans only include more.
“At this point I’m kind of obligated to the community to keep it going. So I guess it’s going to happen forever,” Taylor said.
The display will be on until midnight on Halloween night. It comes down the next day.
