Our journey to find some of the most elaborate and unique Halloween displays takes us to the far southeast Valley -- San Tan Valley.

Known as the "Haunted Manor," Brandon McCaslin's Halloween display has become somewhat of a neighborhood tradition within Pecan Creek South near Gantzel and Combs roads.

He began filling his yard with Halloween decorations two years ago. Last year, he said an estimated 3,000 people stopped by the house over three days.

On Thursday night, he gave ABC15 a preview of his display. Watch the video in the player above for a sneak peek.

Everything in McCaslin's yard has been synchronized to a computer system to run automatically. Strobe lights illuminate a larger-than-life scarecrow, coffin lids slam open and then close, and figurines glow under the black lights.

He added two flame cannons this year that shoot flames a few feet briefly into the air.

In total, he estimated the show to be about 20 minutes before starting over.

The display will run Oct. 29-31. The lights and music will start at dusk and stay on until 10 p.m., said McCaslin.

The street may be blocked off to limit cars going through, said McCaslin. Drivers may have to park in another part of the neighborhood and walk over.

Donations are accepted to help support the display, a portion of which is donated to Phoenix Children's Hospital, said McCaslin.

As we've mentioned with other displays, this one is also in a neighborhood. Please be respectful of the neighbors and not block or park in any driveways or on front yards.
