Spirits on Sproat schedule & directions

Love classic monsters from the movies, TV, literature, and pop culture? Come visit Spirits on Sproat, celebrating its 19th season this year. In 2022, we're rolling out all-new animatronics (including some BIG personalities) and other characters and effects designed to give you nightmares, as well as all the old favorites we've put on display since 2004. And, of course, we still feature the most terrifying live Michael Myers you've ever encountered (rest assured he won't scare little ones or seniors). 

This popular home haunt showcases over 100 figures—most being custom-made replicas of your favorite scary movie creatures and horror icons—plus several original characters. Enjoy humorous museum-like signage describing each character, creepy horror movie music mixed with sound effects, live scarers, two fun "find the monster" scavenger hunt games, front window music-and-lights show, and more. Check out Spirits on Sproat, which was named to the Horror Tourers Hall of Fame and featured twice on Svengoolie's TV program!

This year, we plan to be open as usual in October. Note that if coronavirus conditions worsen in October, we may ask visitors to wear a face mask or Halloween mask, so please bring one with you just in case (check our driveway signage for the latest updates). 

NOTE: 

• Property is monitored 24/7 via video cameras and protected by a security system.
• Display is family-friendly but recommended for ages 6 and up. All kids 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Note that our live scarers will not frighten little ones or seniors.
• All dates and times are subject to change without notice due to inclement weather and unexpected circumstances.
• Please do not run into the street, be respectful of our neighbors by not blocking driveways and keeping your voice at a moderate volume, drive slowly and park carefully on our block, and do not touch any of our figures or props.
• We appreciate your generous donations (donation bins can be found in the front and the back), which keep Spirits on Sproat alive (and undead); 100% of funds collected are put back into our display.
