It’s Halloween, which means it’s time for kids to get hopped up on sugar and parents to bust out the automated lighting.

Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)

We never thought we’d see a house Whip or Nae Nae, but here we are. Located in Odenton, MD, this display was put together by the Hagan family, better known as Lights on Ice Crystal. This year’s setup features “thousands of lights and channels of computer animation,” which are all synchronized to SilentÃ:³’s mega-hit, “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).” For more information on the annual display, become one of the family’s 2,000-plus followers on Facebook.

Downtown

Brandon Bullis, an electrical engineer out of Leedsburgh, VA, considers his holiday: display: to be a hobby. With over 8,500 lights, over 2,500 channels of computer animation, and close to half a million views (and counting), it’s a little more than that. In fact, Bullis, who has named his annual display Edwards Landing Lights, recently told The Washington Post that his family has put out a donation box for the past two years, which has collected about $10,000 for the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. This year’s display is set to: “Downtown” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and: even has Macklemore’s stamp of approval. And if you’re wondering how no one could be dancing in the streets during this video, it’s because the display is completely silent; viewers need to tap into a local FM station to “hear the lights” in person.
