Does anyone know where the Dr Who house is in Dublin?? I’ve seen pictures and would like to take my grandson to see it this year!
Theres a display/haunted walk through on October 31st. Its free, its located at 928 Annapolis Ave in Akron. My uncle runs its. You have to make it through in order to get your candy. Its scary for most people to go through and its better then a haunted house where you have to pay 20-30 bucks to get into.
There is a totally awesome display of a huge yard tree COVERED in skeletons! Really freaky! Address is 18163 Clifton Road (corner of Clifton Road and Arlington) in Lakewood, OH. You gotta see it!

thank you so much for having a site where I can find displays my grandkids and I can visit.
You’re very welcome. I hope you have a great time!

We went to Halloween Display in Canton tonight at 1644 Colonial Blvd, but didn’t see anything there. Did the people move? Or is the display in the back yard? No type of display in front yard, so we ended up going to see light display on Wildfire dr. Almost a waste of a trip out there, but really liked the light display.
I’m sorry about the confusion, and am glad you were able to see one of the displays. The Canton address is actually: 2916 Joseph St NW Canton Ohio 44708 and I have gotten confirmation that it is up this year. It’s supposed to be bigger and better than last year, so hopefully you will have time to check it out.
I’ve heard really good things about the light display on Wildflower Drive as well. Hoping to make it out to see it for myself this year.
Take Care,
Danielle
Cant you fix the address on the Canton house? Few people will see the correction in the comment section.
Colleen,
When I originally left the comment I also corrected the address in the article itself. It’s showing correctly for me, are you seeing something different?
Thanks!
Danielle
Walton hills display is up!!
Do you know if people are able to walk around the yard or is it drive by only?
Ashley,
I’m not sure if you can walk around or not. Hopefully someone else will know and be able to respond.
Danielle

The haunted display in Canton is open this year! Asking for canned foods-go to Stark County Hunger Task Force;Monetary donations go to St. Jude’s. Both great causes but still free if unable to donate 🙂 the display is very cool and more to see this year (compared to last years pic)
