Boulder’s Best: Spirited Halloween decor

Even though many things have been canceled due to COVID-19, the Halloween holiday is not one of them. Several familiar events will take on an unfamiliar feel this year.

To help the community celebrate, the Boulder City Review has compiled a list of Boulder’s Best Halloween displays in town. They are featured in no particular order and can be observed from a vehicle at a safe social distance.

653 Arrayo Way

Mike and Morgan Pacini have decked out their house for Halloween. The graveyard in their front yard has skeletons, gargoyles, a corpse and a scary clown. There is also fog, smoke and light displays. For those feeling adventurous, Mike Pacini said they are also hosting a haunted house in their carport. It opens at 5 p.m. on Halloween and is free for everyone.

796 Los Tavis Way

Ruben Benitez and Mariley Hernandez have made their home into a Halloweentown. Their display has a huge jack-o’-lantern, inflatable ghosts, lights and scary creatures. It also has light show projected on the garage door.

1100 block of Fuente Way

A home on this block is paying homage to the Halloween movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” It is decked out with characters from the film and other Halloween-themed elements.

1200 Avenue I

Dawn and Dale Brougher’s home has scary and fun Halloween decorations. Near the front door and on the roof are Halloween-themed inflatable decorations. On the side wall, there are fake heads, including Freddy Krueger’s, and fake arms and legs.

Checking in on the BCHS chess team

Chess is an immersive 1v1 board game that requires high strategies and patience. The rules of chess may seem simple, but it requires deep thinking. Each player has sixteen pieces. These pieces are often black and white so there is no confusion during the match. The white player makes the first move and then from there, the game begins. The goal in these matches is to attack your opponent’s King piece with no way to escape, also known as a checkmate. This will cause the match to end and a win for whoever checkmates. The match can also end with a draw. Consenting to a draw is when there is no way to achieve a checkmate. This year at Boulder City High School, students have decided to take on this challenge of creating a chess team.
