This home owner has qualified for the Boston Marathon, and decided to pay it forward. As a veteran himself, he is asking friends, family, and guests of the Halloween display who want to contribute in his name to use the QR code below, or while you’re on the walk through.
WOW! This is impressive!
A row of townhouses decorated in 4 different themes. If you think you've already seen this one, NO, you haven’t, there are SO MANY NEW characters at this New Town extravaganza!

This alley way is where the most scary characters can be found if you want to avoid that with very little children. Back on the main walk, there is a coven of witches, one casting spells and talking to her raven, the others are stirring a cauldron and greeting everyone who passes.

At each end are the 8 foot Tumble the Troll, one end has a demon leprechaun side-kick, with glowing eyes, the other is near the pirates. Just go, it will all make sense after you see it!

The lightning effects are spot on (no pun intended), there are many unique and whimsical sights & sounds to stop and experience, and the multiple scenes blend seamlessly as you stroll wide-eyed down the sidewalk with y…
