Where to Find Halloween Decorations in Midtown Manhattan, New York

There are two epic spooky stoops, Halloween decorations in Midtown Manhattan, that are definitely worth checking out. Luckily, they are located only a few blocks apart.

Glow-in-the-Dark Skeletons

LOCATION: East 36th Street between Lexington and Park Avenues.

This house is covered in cobwebs and glow-in-the-dark skeletons. The UV lighting makes them glow even when it’s daytime. We actually passed by on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I think it’s hard to do this house justice in photos, but it looks pretty great! The owners have clearly gone to a lot of effort.

Creepy Clown Halloween House

LOCATION: East 38th Street between Lexington and Park Avenues

Just two blocks away from the glow-in-the-dark skeletons, you’ll find this spooky clown house.

The whole front gate is decorated with a creepy clown face! As well as so many other decorations on the front of the building. My son especially liked this one as it had a doorbell-style button on the gate, which made a mechanical eye move!

I’m still amazed that both of these are just regular houses! The people of New York City certainly go all out for Halloween!
