Melissa Janssen and her mother, Ann, were inspired to create a spectacular Halloween yard display in their Appleton neighborhood by their love for Halloween. This fall marks their fifth year carrying out their goal to share their Halloween spirit with as many families as possible with a not-too-scary Halloween treat — Bone Hollow Cemetery.
About Bone Hollow Halloween Yard Display
Families can view Bone Hollow Cemetery any time of day, and Melissa and Ann were careful to keep the display friendly for all ages with no gore or jump scares.
Find a spider that spans 10 feet, two giant 12-foot-tall skeletons, giant Venus flytraps, and a garage monster that chews. There’s a spooky tree and a raven king, witches, cats, pumpkins, and more!
After dusk, you’ll be able to see many cool lighting effects and a fun singing pumpkin projection. The pumpkins will sing from dusk until 9:30 pm nightly. The display is up and running rain or shine!
