The tradition of having this haunted house display began four years ago during the pandemic.
Melissa and Jason Townsend felt it was important to keep the holiday alive for their children and others in the neighborhood during the pandemic lockdown.
But as the years went on, the display transformed into something else.
“My husband cleared out the garage, and it started in the garage where we just decorated that, and it was really fun, and all the kids loved it and so we decided to keep doing it," says Melissa Townsend.
Now the display takes up the entire property.
From the front yard to the side, walk along the sides of the house and fill up the back yard.
Jason says he enjoys putting up the display each year, and he says his sons also love to help out.
“In the three weeks they help out, and it’s a good bonding time for us," says Jason Townsend.
After a few years, the display began to take on a new meaning.
