Alabama House Goes Viral With Clever “Goodbye Earl” Themed Halloween Decorations

This one wins them all.

Spooky season is officially here. We are almost halfway through October, which means everyone is embracing the Halloween spirit and gearing up for the Halloween weekend.

While some might be perfecting their costumes, like this woman who has committed to Alan Jackson’s iconic “Chattahoochee” look —with a twist. She’s dressed up as Alan Jackson mid-water ski and has converted her electric scooter to complete the look… it’s awesome. Of course, Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” is a classic Halloween costume, but this rendition of it takes it up a notch.

Things you love to see: this.

But for those who are more homebodies, Halloween season is the perfect time to decorate your yard or house for trick-or-treaters, and this yard takes the cake for one of the best yards of the year.

While I love driving past yards that go over the top with blow-up decorations, there is something more impressive to me about those who take an unconventional approach while decorating. Whether it’s creating an impressive light display or setting a yard scene that highlights a famous movie scene, the amount of work and thought that goes into yards like this is beyond remarkable.

And if you can make it country music related, you’re getting a gold star in my book.

An Alabama house is going viral for its epic decorations highlighting the story told in the  Dixie Chicks‘ (now The Chicks) “Goodbye Earl.” We all know the story about how a man named Earl met his untimely death back in 1999 at the hands of a woman named Wanda, her friend Mary Anne, and some black eyed peas.

And let’s be honest… he kind of deserved it. I mean, he did abuse Wanda at the end of the day, Mary Anne was being a true girl’s girl, helping her best friend out of a bad and dangerous relationship.

The scene at this Alabama home shows Mary Anne and Wanda chilling in lawn chairs by Earl’s grave, with Earl wrapped up in a tarp. Wanda and Mary Anne are lighting up a cigarette in celebration and are holding up a bag of black-eyed peas, which, as we know, was used as the vessel to poison them.

This yard is top-notch.

The only thing that would have made this better is if they showed Mary Anne and Wanda at their “roadside stand/ Out on Highway 109″ where  “They sell Tennessee ham/ And strawberry jam.”

It did not take long for the comments section of this viral post to blow up. Check out some of my favorites while you’re here:

“This wins best Halloween decoration of all time.”

“I would leave it up year-round.”

“Hands down the best Halloween decor that I have seen!!”

“That’s it. You win Halloween in my book. Here take it.”

“Best Halloween decorations PERIOD!”

“This is the best Halloween display!!!”

“Perfection.” 

“By far the best Halloween decorations EVER.”

And of course, it’s only right to fire up “Goodbye Earl” before you go:
