Chloe Less didn’t just decorate her house for Halloween, she turned the entire facade into a giant monster, complete with oversized eyes and teeth, for what she says was under $100. She shared the transformation on TikTok as @chlo_less, and says she’s reused the same setup every year since.

In her video, Less shows the before-and-after transformation: a plain house facade becoming an oversized, cartoonish monster face using lightweight materials rather than any permanent installation. The under-$100 price and the four-year reuse timeline are her own reported figures, and they line up with a build designed from the outset to be stored and brought back out each season rather than replaced annually.

That reusability is arguably the more interesting part of the story, since a lot of ambitious seasonal decor gets built once and abandoned the following year, either because it wasn’t designed to survive storage or because the effort to recreate it felt like starting over each time. Less’s approach treats the monster face as a long-term investment in the house’s Halloween identity rather than a one-off stunt.

Whole-house Halloween transformations have become one of the most shareable categories of seasonal content online, largely because they take a genre, yard decorations, that most people experience only at a small scale, a few pumpkins, some string lights, and push it toward something far more theatrical. A house that reads as a giant monster face from the street is exactly the kind of visual that stops a scroll.

What likely drives repeat engagement with this kind of content, beyond the initial reveal, is the practical angle: viewers aren’t just admiring the decor, they’re mentally pricing out whether they could do something similar in their own yard for a comparable budget.

The Takeaway

If you want a Halloween display that gets more impressive every year rather than starting from scratch each October, look for materials that can be broken down and stored without damage rather than one-time-use decorations. A design built for reuse, like the reported setup here, can spread a modest budget across several seasons instead of spending it all in a single year. And if a giant monster-face facade feels ambitious for one season, remember that a project like this one is often built incrementally, added to and refined over time rather than completed all at once.

Parenting is hard. Like, really hard. And somehow the internet has found a way to make it even harder — between the expert opinions that contradict each other, the Pinterest-perfect nurseries, and the celebrity moms who look like they have it all together before the ink on the birth certificate is even dry. It's a lot. That's kind of why Aria started writing about it. Aria doesn't claim to have all the answers, and honestly, that's what makes her so easy to read. She writes the way most of us think — real, a little messy, and always honest. Her approach to parenting has never been about doing it perfectly. It's about doing it intentionally, and giving yourself enough grace to actually enjoy it somewhere in between the chaos. You'll find her covering everything from the everyday stuff — routines, sibling dynamics, screen time debates, the mental load of just keeping little humans alive and happy — to the bigger, harder conversations that don't always have a clean answer. She's not here to lecture. She's here to sit with you in it. She also keeps tabs on the celebrity mom world, and she'll be the first to admit it's partly because it's fun. But there's something genuinely refreshing about watching someone famous have a parenting moment that's just as relatable as yours. Aria finds the stories worth talking about and actually has something interesting to say about them. If you've ever closed a parenting article feeling worse about yourself than when you opened it, Aria's writing is the antidote to that. She wants you to walk away feeling like you've got this — because you do.
