To celebrate the unofficial start of spooky season—it’s finally October, after all—the Bros are taking a look back at their Halloween parties, their epic costumes, and all the finishing touches that made their outdoor Halloween decorations so spectacular last year.
They went all-out on just about everything they could to make the day magical for friends, family, and neighbors. From Jonathan’s scary animatronics in his backyard haunted houses to Drew’s Halloween light display that wowed, the Bros took Halloween to the next level! Today, they’re looking back at some of their most exciting moments from their monster mash. Watch the full video to get the scoop on all the details, including decorating tips, Halloween costume insight, and a bewitching hack for kids looking to trade in their Halloween candy for something even sweeter.
Jonathan’s Eerie Haunted House
When Jonathan and Zooey were planning their Halloween party for the kids, they wanted to make it a ton of fun for the little ones and their parents, too. They set up a spooky haunted house in the backyard with different zones inside—an Addams family area in the front with cobwebs and LED candlelight; mummies and ghostly figures in the back; a creepy carnival with sinister clowns; a mad scientist lab; and more. It was just enough frightening and fun.
Lights and Projections for a Spooky Display
Both Drew and Jonathan took their outdoor light displays to another level. Jonathan has more trees around his house, so he used smart lights from Twinkly to display an array of Halloween colors like purple and orange that danced around in a fun pattern. That way, when Halloween is over or it’s finally time for the winter holidays, he can change the lights to display whatever pattern or color he wants right off his phone, so he never even has to take the string lights down. Hello, decor hack!
“You had lights, but I had killer projections,” Drew says to Jonathan. We can’t argue with that! Drew used a system that mapped the front of his house and created a custom Halloween light display based off the architectural features. You could see monsters coming in and out of the windows, creepy crawly spiders along the facade, a haunted forest with lightening, and so much more.
The Very Best Halloween Costumes
We know they’ve have had some incredible Halloween costumes over the years, but it’ll be hard to beat the 2024 ensembles from Drew and Jonathan! Drew, Linda, Parker, and Piper dressed up as characters from Where the Wild Things Are, with Parker as Max; Piper as a mini Max (adorable!); and Drew and Linda as a couple of the wild things. Jonathan and Zooey don’t always go as a typical couples costume, and oftentimes choose their own outfits or funny characters to dress up as for an unlikely duo! In 2024, Jonathan went as Wolverine (complete with an incredible styling team that did his hair, makeup, and a custom suit), and Zooey went as Angie from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (iconic!).
Have You Heard of the Switch Witch?
If you know the Tooth Fairy, then you should know about her long-lost cousin, the Switch Witch. The Switch Witch is a witch who comes in the middle of the night on Halloween and swaps out all the kids’ candy for one toy that they really want. The little ones get to decide what they’d rather get—all they have to do is leave a note for the Switch Witch with their request.
