ABC News(LORAIN, Ohio) — If you like to decorate your home for Halloween with pumpkins and fake spider webs, prepare yourself, because the bar has officially been raised.
One house in Lorain, Ohio, has a lifelike, two-story shipwreck crashing through the back between the house and the garage. It’s the brainchild of Ricky Rodriguez, who comes up with a bigger and better idea each year.
“All the trick-or-treaters are excited,” Rodriguez, 39, told GoodMorningAmerica.com. “We’re going to have everyone dressed in pirate costumes and have a big pirate-themed party.”
The entire project took Ricky and his brother, Tony, two weeks to build.
The home belongs to their mom, Reina Isabel Rodriguez.
“She thinks it’s crazy,” Ricky Rodriguez said. “A lot of people are driving from hours away to see it. She enjoys the attention. The pictures don’t even do it justice.”
