I am that house in my neighborhood, but I make my own stuff mostly now. I usually do a haunted circus/sideshow theme (ticket booth, clowns, skeleton tightrope walker, clown mouth tunnel to front door, jack in the box, ghost pony carousel, freak show signs) or like this year, we're a haunted pumpkin patch with goofy skeletons and other creatures "helping" out in the set up.
I don't have a problem with anything that encourages my neighbors to have a nice time and talk to each other. We sit outside with our bucket of candy for the trick or treaters, chat with everyone as they come up, and enjoy the costumes and usually lovely weather. It also happens to be my anniversary, so there's that too. ;)
I have very fond memories of the houses in my childhood that went all out. It tickles me to think that there's a whole generation of kids that likely remember our house and still think about it as they're taking their kids around for the first few years, and might get into it themselves.
