Maxime Duval, the homeowner and artist behind these life-sized creations (yes, the Hulk stands eight-and-a-half feet tall) goes all out with his homemade Halloween decorations every single spooky season.
We asked him what visitors can expect for this year's 27th edition.

How did this tradition begin?
Maxime DuvalDuval recounted the night of October 31, 1992. He was 16 years old and still wanted to celebrate Halloween by going trick-or-treating.
"When I arrived at the door, the lady told me that I was too old and she closed the door," he told MTL Blog.
"After this hard blow, I said to myself: 'Next year I will decorate and everyone will be accepted.'"
On October 31, 1993, the first edition was born.
What can people expect this year?
Maxime DuvalDuval said the idea for this year's superhero theme came when his wife spotted a life-sized Batman and Spiderman in a music store.
"I hope to bring some sunshine and a smile in this dark and special circumstance. People need a special moment and I will be there to welcome them as Captain America," said Duval.
On the evening of Halloween, there will be candy and a show featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Batman and Harley Quinn.
The Facebook event reads: "This is your annual show, this magic moment belongs to you. I want to see as many Super Heroes as possible on October 31. Calling the Marvel and DC geeks. P.S ca va bien aller."
Duval requests that visitors "kindly respect the two-meter distance."
How did you make the superheroes?
Maxime duval halloween | FacebookDuval said he used several mediums: pottery, styrofoam, urethane, plaster and plastic. He got help from some other local artists, such as the folks at Atelier JD and airbrushing by Luc Duguay.
The soundtrack was directed by Michel Duguay from the Quebec bands Okoumé and Shigawake.
The whole design took him almost one year to complete. And the actual set-up in the front of the house will have taken about a month by the time it's done, he said.
