The Harvest Moon Haunted House is back once again for its 15th year of spooky and scary fun.

This haunted house idea was started by Rino Ferrante and his children, Luca and Matteo, who brought the idea to Ferrante about making a devilish destination.

Located at 58 Harvest Moon Drive, visitors that dare to enter and walk through the haunted house will see many creepy things such as Halloween blow-ups, statues and even creepy talking animatronics.

The house opened on Thanksgiving weekend and will run until a few days after Halloween night.

Since there are so many elements for the haunted house, the set up normally takes Ferrante and his family an entire weekend to set up ahead of the Halloween season.

Last year, the house had roughly 1,000 visitors come to see the attraction in full swing.

The haunted house is open nightly from 7 – 9 p.m., and will run for even longer on Halloween Night.

Just as in past years, the display has grown even larger with more blow-ups and animatronics being added.

“Every year we replace and buy more, pretty much every year. This year we added a handful of new items. It’s Rino’s son Luca, who decides for the most part because he pretty much took care of everything inside this year,” says Mary Ann who has been helping Ferrante with the haunted house for the last few years.

The house is a big hit, being popular from the very first moment that it goes up.

Mary Ann mentions there will be many people will walk by the house and stop to look, and even school buses with children will pause so that they can see.

While the house receives visitors every night, Halloween Night is definitely a spectacle with a line starting at the entrance to the haunted house and going down at least two houses in recent years.

The house will also continue to participate in Treat Accessibly as it has in past years and will be accessible to all.

Those who attend are asked to bring a non-perishable food item or monetary donation in support of the Caledon Community Services’ Exchange.

Last year, the attraction raised over $2,000 and 900 pounds non-perishable items for the Exchange and are hoping to see that number grow this year.

Those who wish to donate can drop off monetary donations in the mailbox near the entrance and will be able to place all non-perishable items in a container that is also located at the entrance of the haunted house.
