Well just off hand, NC is in the bible-belt and most hard-headed religious folk think that Halloween is a holiday related to devil-worshipping. Civil, open-minded folk like most of us (religious or not) know better. Neither Ohio nor Washington is in the bible-belt, so I'm guessing you'll be good to go, especially if it isn't hardcore gore. A haunted, spooky display is usually very well received by Joe and Jane Public because it's usually not offensive and is more geared to fun and excitement.
Now, don't get me wrong, many of you who live in the bible-belt probably get a good reaction from most people you encounter regarding your display, but I'll bet you run into more ignorant people who have to try to save you from your sins and devil-worshipping displays than those of us in other states.
I could be completely off base though. It's just a theory. Chicago is a haunt-friendly city. So, how about posting a pic of your spooktacular new house?
