Zombie Yard This Halloween In Rancho Santa Margarita

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Things on El Balazo are getting kind of creepy, the homeowners told Patch.

This October, resident Cynthia Shimel and family have outdone themselves creating a spookier than ever front yard.

Biohazard created zombies are the theme, and more decorations are appearing daily, she said. Recently, neighbors noticed a make-shift cemetery appeared overnight, with zombie ghouls dragging themselves out of the lawn in Walking Dead style.

"We're so happy with the way the yard turned out this year," Shimel said.
With "biohazard" signs along the cemetery fencing, one can only guess what disaster went awry here!

Shimel loves the holiday, and this year, she loves that the decor covers every square inch of their exterior property facing El Balazo.

Sure to be a well-visited spot this Halloween, near Solana Park off Melinda Road and Via Regressos, little trick-or-treaters are sure to get a good jump! When getting their candy here.

"We would love to share (our yard) with the community," she said. So, while you're making your trick or treat plans, be sure to drop by 17 El Balazo in Rancho Santa Margarita.
