Folks are always dying to get in and get a peek inside prominent homes fronting major Houston intersections. And here, adjacent to the roundabout at the southern end of Montrose Blvd. surrounding the Mecom Fountain just north of Rice University across from the main entrance to Hermann Park, a Halloween-season folly has been showing off a fantasy reenactment of just that scenario.

I realize that it all cost a pretty penny that surely could have been put to more noble use, but that is just too cool to bitch about.
Haha! What an awesome idea! Great to see people be so creative! Kudos!
LOL this is cool!
i noticed this last year. its definitely worth a walk over there to see it if you’re visiting the art museum.
One of my favorite houses in the neighborhood as they decorate for various holidays.
That is f’n awesome.
Love it! Especially the yee-ha! astride the bovine topiary.
If needed, I am available for hire to sit in there in a lawn chair with a pump shotgun to fend them off.
