Drive-By Halloween Displays Around DeSoto County
Some of the best Halloween fun is right in our neighborhoods. Homeowners across the county have added more than 30 decorated yards and home haunts to the FrightMaps Halloween display map, from family-friendly skeleton scenes to full-on yard haunts.
- Hernando: the most displays in the county, including People Under the Steeple, The Haunting of Montclair, Fairway Frights and Bright Oaks Burial Grounds.
- Olive Branch: The Haunted Manor, Barrera Manor, The Bankester Manor, Deerfield Cemetery and The Pumpkin King’s Yard.
- Southaven: Skeltons for St Jude, the Spooky Scary Skele-Tunnel and Glow Party.
- Walls and Nesbit: Wild West and Camp’s Crypt.
Most are free to drive by or walk past. Hours are posted by each homeowner, so check the map before you go, and please be respectful of these private homes and their neighbors.
Tips for Halloween Weekend
- Plan two stops on Saturday. The Jimmy Gray and Whataburger events run 3 to 5 p.m., leaving time for neighborhood trick-or-treating after dark.
- Bring a sturdy bag for each kid, and something that lights up so little ones are easy to spot after dark.
- Arrive early to Old Towne on Thursday and Tanger on Friday. Both draw big crowds.
- Check before you go. Weather and plans can change, so confirm on the organizer’s website or Facebook page the day of.
Why Families Love Fall in DeSoto County
Weekends like this one are a big part of why families choose Olive Branch, Southaven, Hernando and the rest of DeSoto County: walkable town squares, local businesses that show up for their neighbors, and working farms just a few minutes from home.
