MOUNT UPTON – In the daylight, set along Route 18 this cottage-style home may look like the heartwarming abode seen in story books. However, as Halloween nears, witches and other spooky characters can be spotted roaming throughout the open meadow while torch lamps are lit and a cemetery is seen under the old crooked tree out back.

For over a dozen years this pink cottage with an open field transforms into a Halloween wonderland for audiences young and old. The show “On the Moors,” not recommended for children under six, consists of up to 15 actors and actresses telling hair-raising tales and scary spine-chilling stories while walking guests a quarter of a mile along the meadow lines.
