Buffalo Area Haunts 2026 Part 2

Oak Crest Cemetery Yard Haunt in Cheektowaga, New York. We had been wanting to visit this spectacular yard haunt for the past few years once we realized it wasn't that far away and in an area we've been to often over the years. However, every October for the past few years something always came up that prevented us from getting out there to see the haunt in person before we had to concentrate on setting up our own haunt just before Halloween. This year we made it! This haunt is darkly gorgeous from every viewing angle. Your eye catch's something new with each passing glance.

Wedding Preparations Are Underway

Preparations are underway for the monster and his bride's big day. The wedding will be held on October 31st. Igor will be the best man and Dr. Frankenstein will be officiating the ceremony. A grave robber will be busy digging up some more guests for this grand occasion along with any extra spare parts the bride and groom might need.

Museum Of The Dead 2026

This past Friday night we attended the Museum of the Dead Halloween party at the University of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY. It was one of the best Halloween parties we've been to in decades!

Peripheral Haunt Skeletons Upgraded

We wanted to enhance the standard 5' tall pose-n-stay skeletons that we have on the periphery of our yard with some form of lighting. Last year we used 5' skeletons that had red LED eyes, so those skeletons stood out on their own, but we needed something to make these skeletons pop in the dark on the border of our yard. Battery powered waterproof green LED chains with built in timers did the trick. The actual themed yard haunt parts and pieces will start going up this coming weekend. The yard haunt should be fully completed the Friday before All Hallows Eve.
