It’s that time of year again when shadows grow longer, pumpkins glow brighter, and things just aren’t quite what they seem. The Southward Scare is back, and if you thought last year was eerie, wait until you see what the neighbors have in store for 2024!

This year, the South End has taken a wild, creepy-crawly twist our house has gone Beetles Beetlejuice that is! Stripes, sandworms, and the strange and unusual have taken over, IT'S SHOWTIME!!

The eerie vibes don’t stop there. As you make your way through the South End neighbourhood (south of Dundas ST W & bottom of Mile Hill Rd), you’ll notice the once-quiet streets are now lined with tombstones rising from the earth, and neighbours are dusting off the cobwebs to put up new ones. It’s become a tradition that brings spooky delight to the South End, as more homes get in on the fun each year!

New to town? Don’t be afraid to join the fun everyone’s welcome to add their own spooky touch to the neighborhood If you’d like your house featured on the Southward Cemetery Map, send me a message on our Facebook page and I’ll make sure you’re added!

No display is too small or big and it brings a lot of joy to neighbourhood children and adults alike!

Have you heard of the Southward Scare map?! Houses are already starting to get set up, and it warms my cold dark heart to see the neighborhood come alive (or undead) again. If you’ve been around, have you visited yet this year?

The map is a great way to plan your route whether you’re up for a drivethru or prefer to park and stroll through the eerie streets of the South Ward Click here, add it to your phone, and explore the spookiness! Come see for yourself, if you dare... Bring your best costumes and trick-or-treat through the South End for a Halloween night to remember. Just be warned if someone says Beetlejuice three times, anything could happen.
