Gangnam Style Halloween Light Show

On our morning commute to work, it can be a bit annoying hearing"Gangnam Style" by Psy playing back to back on three separate radio stations. Still, we at Cool Pencil Case can't resist anything fun that has to do with color and flashing lights. As this viral hit lights up the airwaves, a house in Leesburg, Virginia found a way to light up the neighborhood with the super-catchy song in a different way. According to the description on YouTube, the making of this spectacular light display has taken almost a year to complete. This neighborhood definitely has quite the show each night leading up to Halloween!
