🎃 Haunted House and Pumpkin Patch Coming to Dunlap This Halloween Weekend

A community-run haunted house and pumpkin patch is opening its doors in downtown Dunlap this Halloween weekend, offering free admission and family-friendly activities alongside spooky thrills. The event combines seasonal fun with a charitable purpose, with proceeds supporting local animal welfare efforts.

📍 What to Expect

The haunted house will operate Friday and Saturday nights from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 15889 Rankin Ave, Dunlap, TN 37327-the red house next to Smalltown Ceramics. 🏚️ Visitors will find a pumpkin patch set up in the front yard for photos, along with a full haunted house experience throughout the building and into the backyard. The setup includes scary sections, jump scares from both animatronics and live performers, so brave souls should be prepared.

🎟️ Admission and Candy

Entrance is free, though organizers will have a donation box available for those who wish to contribute. 💝 Candy will be distributed on Saturday night only; Friday night visitors should not expect treats. All children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult, and organizers ask that guests respect the props and animatronics throughout the setup and refrain from touching them.

🅿️ Parking and Extended Hours

Parking will be limited but available at Smalltown Ceramics. For those looking to extend their Halloween evening, Smalltown Ceramics will stay open late on Halloween night, offering pottery painting as an additional activity for visitors. 🎨

❤️ Supporting Local Animal Care

All donations collected during the event will go toward spaying, neutering, and feeding cats in the community. The haunted house serves as both entertainment and a fundraiser for local animal welfare-a way for residents to enjoy the season while supporting a cause that matters to neighbors.
