There's a home west of Boston that's attracting visitors with a spectacular Halloween display and it's all for a good cause.

On Hickory Road, a quiet cul-de-sac in Ashland, Massachusetts, shrieks and screams are now the soundtrack to late October nights. One family's fun is bringing your fears to life. 

"I've always obviously had an obsession with Halloween, and I've always decorated more than most people," said Craig Morrison, the owner of Morrison Manor.

The idea was born from a sweetly selfish place. Morrison's kids were getting older and exploring bigger, better neighborhoods to trick or treat with friends. 

"I thought if I could just build the most massive display not only would they be forced to stay here but everybody's going to want to come here," he recalled. 

During the pandemic Morrison Manor became the perfect place for socially distant scares. As the display grew in size and popularity, the family decided they had a great opportunity to give back. 

Helping the Ashland Food Pantry

"Ever since then we teamed up with the Ashland Food Pantry and now people know to bring nonperishable food items," Morrison said. "They can donate in the cash box or by Venmo. Last year we raised $5,000 and car loads and car loads of non-perishable food."

Morrison saves the money for after the holidays when donations dry up. Come spring, it's a delayed Halloween treat, thousands of dollars' worth of food for hungry Ashland neighbors.  

"People are so generous, you give them an opportunity like this to give and they're so generous," Morrison said. 

He's not sure how long he'll keep up the terrifying tradition. But he does hope his scaring and caring will inspire others. 

"I'll donate a lot of my older props I no longer use to other people just to pass on that Halloween spirit. If I can inspire other people just to keep Halloween going, it's so fun not just for kids but parents too. They just love coming here," he added.

You can see the display every night from 6 to 9 p.m. during the Halloween season, weather permitting. It's open to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
