Driving around to look at Christmas lights is a quintessential pastime, but what about Halloween lights? Sometimes, private homes have better displays than commercial haunted houses! Phoenix Dead Rising is a roadside spectacle that many families in the Valley have made a yearly tradition out of. It’s hauntingly whimsical and spooktacular as can be.
Since 2012, Halloween-obsessed homeowner Nick Chryst has transformed his north Phoenix house into a spooktacular spectacle every October. He calls it "Phoenix Dead Rising."
The quality of the props, however, is something that never changes. Many are homemade, each one serving a unique purpose in the overall look of the scene.

This year, the display is larger than ever, with tombstones, skeletons, and other ghastly ghouls taking up every inch of yard space.
You'll have to look from afar this year, however, as Chryst is asking visitors to remain physically distanced on the sidewalk.
