HAUNTING HOUR: Skeletons emerge from their graves at a Canton house decorated for Halloween. Photo by Cindy Kunst
It’s gearing up to be a Halloween like no other, but the creativity of Asheville residents hasn’t changed. Gardens have transformed into graveyards, lawns are temporarily inhabited by ghosts and skeletons stand at the ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday.
Xpress photographer Cindy Kunst spent a night on the prowl for the spookiest decoration displays in West Asheville and Canton neighborhoods. Be warned: Cobwebs and disembodied, blood-covered limbs lie ahead!

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
