This TikTok Viral Halloween Display in Appleton is a must see! Melissa Janssen and her mother, Ann, were inspired to create a spectacular Halloween yard display in their Appleton neighborhood by their love for Halloween.

Open now through October, from dusk until 8:30 pm on weekdays and 9:30 pm on weekends. This house has the viral chomping garage from TikTok! You’ll also see giant skeletons (12 feet tall!), other huge props, and singing pumpkins. New this year, added effects! Check out the foggy bubbles on Fridays and Saturdays!

It started small but has grown over the past couple of years. He says he loves to see everyone enjoy what he puts together and really gives him a boost of confidence in something he is really passionate about.
The display is set up in the family’s 3 car garage with lighting and animatronics. More dates are added this year! Donations are accepted but not expected.
