Their enthusiasm caught on, and neighbors began putting together increasingly elaborate displays of their own. By 2022, residents estimated that more than 3,000 trick-or-treaters had visited on Halloween.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, the annual Halloween takeover is known as \u201cNightmare on Candy Cane Lane\u201c. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These aren\u2019t just a few pumpkins on the porch. Skeletons, dangling heads, oversized decorations, and cobweb-covered yards turn the residential stretch into a neighborhood-wide spectacle. It\u2019s all resident-led, with each household deciding how far to take its Halloween handiwork.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting Nightmare on Candy Cane Lane<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a seasonal drive, visit before Halloween night. On October 31, Robinson Road will close to cars from 5 p.m. to midnight as costumed visitors arrive to explore the decorated lawns and trick-or-treat. The Halloween-night festivities are free, and parking is not permitted on neighboring roads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re taking a pre-Halloween cruise or bringing the candy buckets on the big night, leave time to admire the details\u2014and remember that these wonderfully haunted houses are still people\u2019s homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccd 3100 block of Robinson Road, Quail Valley, Missouri City<br \/>\ud83c\udf83 Halloween-night trick-or-treating: October 31, 2026<br \/>\ud83d\ude97 Road closed to vehicles October 31, 5 p.m.\u2013midnight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re halfway through October, and if your Houston Halloween bucket list is still dauntingly long, here is a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[372,987,56,58,57],"class_list":["post-467920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-fall","tag-halloween","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
