You know you’re a serious Beatles fan when you incorporate one of the band’s most iconic images into your Halloween decorations.

Jeff and Ellen Pitkin honored the classic cover of Abbey Road in their elaborate front yard Halloween decor by recreating the crosswalk image but with skeletons with appropriate wigs.

In the Facebook post below, Jeff writes, “Finished up (helping a little with) 2019 Halloween decorations. This year includes 50th anniversary tribute to ‘Abbey Road’ (my idea, mostly Ellen’s execution). Most of the kids won’t get it, but their parents will.”

Well, if the parents raised their kids right, they will get it. Either way, what a fun idea to pay tribute to Abbey Road!
