Matthew Gray Gubler has long been known for his love of Halloween — it may well be his favorite day of the year. Each October he shares photos of himself in inventive costumes and visits pumpkin patches to find the perfect gourds, kicking off the season with theatrical enthusiasm.
We were given a behind-the-scenes look at his Halloween decorations, and it’s clear he spares no effort to celebrate the spooky season. His home reflects a deep affection for all things eerie and atmospheric.
On October weekends he searches local pumpkin patches for the most charmingly “imperfect” pumpkins and the perfectly weathered cornstalks that add authenticity to his displays. Each element is chosen to create a convincingly haunted, homespun aesthetic.
Below is a curated collection of photos from Matthew’s Hollywood residence. These images capture the spirit of Halloween in a way that may both startle and inspire your own decorating projects. Thanks to Matthew for sharing these scenes of seasonal creativity.
