Homeowners Transform Front Lawn into Creepy 'Wheel of Fortune' Set for Halloween
Wheel of Fortune
A Milwaukee household with the moniker A&J's Halloween House showed its love for Wheel of Fortune with a jaw-dropping Halloween display, dubbed "Wheel of Misfortune."
A local CBS news station shared a clip of the elaborate decor, which included some familiar spooky faces–Dracula, Pennywise, Leatherface, and Pinhead–as contestants, with Elvira stepping in for Vanna White, turning letters.
Anchor Mike Strehlow informed homeowners Andy and Jamie that the game show producers saw the decorations and sent along a gift to show their appreciation: a trick-or-treat bucket filled with Wheel of Fortune-themed goodies, including Funko Pops of Pat Sajak and White, as well as cozy sweatpants.
The couple demonstrated the spooky recreation of the show's set. "Give it a spin, it can land on your favorite prize—hopefully. Hopefully, you won't land on death, but that looks like where I'm going to land," said Jamie, demonstrating the fully functioning wheel, which, besides Death, included other spine-chilling prizes, like a Transylvania Shopping Spree and a stay at the fictional Amityville B&B.
Visitors can also participate in solving the puzzle themselves, which, of course, are Halloween-themed. New puzzles are teased on the house's official Facebook page. In other photos of Andy and Jamie's impressive home, Fox 6 reporter Brian Kramp showed that the couple switches out the monster contestants, with a werewolf, a mummy, and Frankenstein also trying their luck.
The homeowners set up a different display each year, inviting visitors to participate in the interactive attraction as a way to raise funds for nonprofit Pathfinders, which, according to its site, aims to "serve the needs of low-income people living with mental health issues."
