This Macklemore Halloween light show is scary for all the wrong reasons

by Dan MacRae

A house in Virginia is generating buzz and “wait, what?” responses online with its ridiculously elaborate Halloween lighting display synced up to the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis single “Downtown.” Faces appear on the front of the decidedly suburban looking home singing/rapping the track while brightly lit gravestones flash on and off. Based on the video showcasing the Mackledwelling in action, there’s probably a flock of stoned teens parked in front of the display as we speak.

Brandon Bullis, who used 8,500 energy-efficient LED lights for the project, will be having this decadent ode to Halloween and Macklemore up until October 30. The light show runs from 7-9 every night and the corresponding musical accompaniment can be heard via FM radio.

This isn’t the first over-the-top lighting rodeo for Bullis. In past years, he’s set up Halloween light shows for things like “What Does The Fox Say?” and “Gangnam Style” that blew up online because why wouldn’t they?
