Crew members said most of the filming will be centered around a red house in the area of Charles and Oakland streets with a tree house in the yard.
The rest of the neighborhood was decked out in skeletons, pumpkins, and other Halloween Hollywood props and decorations.
Original cast members like Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder are starring in the sequel that is nearly done with filming.
There is a parking ban in effect for some portions of roadways in Melrose through Saturday at 8 a.m.
