DeKalb St. Haunt

09/02/2025

To all our friends through out the years:

It is with great sorrow and an extremely heavy heart that I make this post. For over 40 years we have been decorating, and providing interactive safe family fun at Halloween.

Sadly, this must now come to an end. Due to our Matriarch's declining health and requirements for Medicaid we are forced to sell the property and will be unable to haunt this year.

Thank you to all who have grown up with us, and made us a part of your family traditions. We are eternally honored.

This page will remain, feel free to share stories on this post and with all of your friends and family. Remember us fondly.

- John Wohlers and all the ghouls over the years.

What season is it? We forget...

It's cold enough to chill you to your bones.

It may be snowing but we are still planning on haunting. The display will be a bit smaller to protect some of our more weather sensative props, but don't worry we are still planning on having fun for all.

Halloween may be over, and Christmas is fast approaching but we've been busy. We are currently working on creating new controllers and trigger mechanisms for all the props. If everything goes well, next year you can expect more advanced scares, and possibly even props that interact with each other.

256 kids made it to the porch for candy this year.
