Millsboro Haunted Mansion lights up at dusk thru Nov. 1

The Millsboro Haunted Mansion invites community members to enjoy a free, kid-friendly, after-dark walk-up display inspired by Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction. The display is open each evening from dusk until 9 p.m., through Saturday, Nov. 1, at 10046 Iron Pointe Drive Ext., Millsboro.

Attendees are asked to park in one of the nearby common areas and to refrain from going in neighbors’ driveways. The mansion features mild frights and jump scares, but nothing that wouldn't be found at a Disney park. Those who have mobility concerns are asked to bring a walker or something else to hold onto, in case one of the spirited residents should startle anyone.

Of special note, the spirits are frightfully sensitive to rain and high winds, so they will not materialize if poor weather is in the forecast.

Homeowner Michael Potter started the Halloween display in 2020 as a COVID project to bring a sense of joy and awe to his neighborhood.
