The house was formerly occupied by the late Walter Smith, who every Halloween would dangle a massive spider from his balcony, dropping it on trick-or-treaters as they left.
When Ward visited the house in 2008, the spider was resting on the balcony — and her real estate agent was very clear.
"'This street is the Halloween street,'" Ward said quoting the agent. "'You don't have to participate but if you choose not to, I don't know how people will respond.'"
Needless to say, Ward has become one of the many Clinton Place residents who have become well-known across Bergen County for their over-the-top Halloween decorations.
