Lots of Long Islanders like to decorate their homes for Halloween, placing jack-o'-lanterns on the porch, some cobwebs in the bushes and perhaps a ghost or two hanging from the trees. But some go all out, spending hours upon hours creating over-the-top displays that bring spectators from near and far to admire, smile and maybe shudder at their wild and wonderfully wicked displays.

Flashlights are handed out with the menus at this LI restaurant during its annual “Dining in the Dark” celebration leading up to Halloween. The diner-style restaurant has been decorating — and that’s decorating with a capital D — for Halloween season for more than 30 years. And during the final week, they add black light light bulbs and turn the restaurant into an even spookier place to dine. On Halloween day, the staff also dresses in costume.
