The 48 houses featured attest to the vibrant creativity of residents in the Beach community. Many a haunted house drew crowds eager to take their own photos of the creepy, fantastical, and ghoulish sights.

More than 100 votes were cast for those Haunted Houses featured in the contest, even from as far away as Etobicoke and London England. Whether voting for a friend and neighbour or studiously assessing which house exhibited the most artistic or warped sensibility, participants had a whale of a good time as evident in comments like:

"I would like to cast my vote for #11, 134 Willow Avenue and the best and most sincere Halloween project in the area. This fellow has been doing this longer than any one else in the Beach and should be awarded for starting the tradition."

" They remind me of when I was living in the beaches. I now live in London and people don't celebrate Halloween like you do in Canada - have fun!"

" Well, all the pictures and efforts people made are really fantastic. Great stuff you guys are doing at Beaches Living."

"Thank-you for running this truly interesting contest"
