Calling all ghouls, goblins, and Halloween lovers- We’ve mapped the spookiest, most creative yard displays from Reading & Lancaster, all the way to Hershey–Elizabethtown, Harrisburg/West Shore, all the way to Shippensburg & Carlisle on one interactive guide: The Spooky Trail!
Hunting for goosebump-worthy houses or whimsical, kid-friendly blow-ups? This hub is your one-stop shop for display hopping across the Reading→ Shippensburg corridor. Bonus: no haunted GPS “shortcuts.” 😜
What’s on The Spooky Trail?
Goblins on Gobin, Mayhem on Media, Calamity on Clemson… Get ready for an eerie road trip from Reading to Shippensburg—including Carlisle, Harrisburg/West Shore, Hershey–Elizabethtown, and Lancaster. Expect creepy graveyards, playful pumpkin scenes, synchronized lights, and more.
- Bone-chilling houses that might make you yelp louder than a spilled candy bucket.
- Whimsical displays perfect for littles (and grownups who still love a nightlight).
- Creative themes to inspire even seasoned decorators (fog machine mastery optional).
