Extreme Halloween HGTV Show this year

I don't know what it is called or when it will air but I got an email from a production company asking for participants in a Halloween show for HGTV. We entered a Halloween home decorating contest last year and they got our name that way. I didn't enter because I didn't have time to take pictures of everything they wanted by the next day, the deadline. But I have heard around town that one of the houses they chose, here in town, got to keep all the props, 2 truck loads worth!! I am so jealous. Anyway, here is the email they had sent me:

"Dear friends and neighbors,

**** ***** suggested I get in contact with you regarding a television
show on HGTV we are producing.

We are producing a special Halloween television show on HGTV (Home & Garden
Television)! We’re looking for fun,
out-going and energetic homeowners who go "all out" decorating their houses
just for this fun & festive holiday!
Ideally, we'd like to feature 3 houses on the same street. You'll be part
of this makeover show with 3 of today’s
hottest party planners & designers to see who can create the most elaborate
Halloween headquarters on the block!
All candidates must be available the first week of August 3, 2009.

If you are interested, please get in touch with us right away!
Deadline: Friday, July 10, 2009!


Please send in the following;
1) Your name
2) Your phone number(s)
3) A recent photo of your immediate family
4) A few photos of your house (for example, a wide shot exterior of your
house along with a few wide shots of the inside of your main rooms)
5) A few photos of your house fully decked out in Halloween decor and/or a
description of decorations you already
have!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks so much!"

So keep on the lookout for this show. So excited to see the town I live in on here!

That's cool Tish! It's nice to have someone with the inside track on things like this. I always enjoy shows like this and even extreme Christmas-type of shows. I hope it's not going to be a store-bought prop show however. Two truck loads of stuff huh? Too bad you didn't have more time to pull things together. It would have been fun to see someone here get featured. Let us know if you hear anymore on this...maybe your local paper or TV channel will carry a story about it. Did you ever find out the name of the show?

You know after thinking more about your post I seem to remember a show, done in a series of 5 or six episodes maybe, that I watched last year that involved a competition between three or four neighbors. I think it was Christmas-themed however. This maybe the same show with just a different holiday to work from. I saved it to DVD so will have to look to see what the name of it was. If so, it was based on families coming up with a plan for their house and yard, buying the materials to build the props, and then the construction phase, set up stage, and then the judging to determine the family with the coolest yard display.
