Halloween at Cedarcroft - 12 foot Inferno
Halloween at Cedarcroft - Headless Horseman

Halloween 2025

SEE MORE

This year while in Ibiza, Spain (the world-renowned EDM and nightlife Spanish island), we convinced the original party skeleton, DJ Bones, to liven up our dead scene at Cedarcroft!  Things got a little scary sailing back out on the open ocean for DJ Bones where we heard him stutter, "You're going to need a bigger boat!"  We traversed up the Mississippi river, to the Ohio river, finally anchoring at Cave-In-Rock, across land to McLeansboro...HOME!

About Scarcrow

Come a litte closer

Scarecrow loves reaching out to everyone that crosses in front of him.  Just ask anyone who trick-or-treated at the skeleton house last year!

STIFF ARMS
He wants to hug you but unfortunately with his stiff arms, it's a little hard.
FAST CLAP
Yeah, he's not subtitle.  When you least expect it, he's reaching out at you just because you walked by him!.

What We Do

The Cedarcroft Halloween team works year round on finding all the graves and digging up more 12 foot skeletons.  Thankfully the witches can fly them to the haunt as they don't fit into the truck bed. 

Every department works throughout the year to make Halloween a memorable experience.

BROOM MASTER
McLeansboro is home to the only fully trained and certified Broom Master in the United States.  Zelma and her team of witches fly year-round, helping the Halloween Team secure everything to get ready for 2024 Trick-or-Treat night.
SKELETON RESCUE
Cedarcroft  is a one-of-a-kind rescue home for 12-foot skeletons from around the US.  In 2022/2023 we rescued 16 of them, in 2024, 3 more were rescued.  No skeleton is too big or too small when they're in need of help. 
BIOHAZARD CLEAN UP
Years before the first coal mine was founded in Hamilton County, an undisclosed uranium find created a deadly biohazard zone.  Zed died while burying it.  Now his animated skeleton drinks bio-juice all night, thus Bio-Zed. 
GRAVEYARD
Some bones prefer to stay buried.  A. Nita Coffin, Grave Master, jumps in and digs graves for any bone not wanting to stay above ground.  A. Nita also leads the skeleton support group that meets at 12:01 am on October 31st yearly.
