Sharon Macabre

Sharon Ontario shows it's dark side this year with Halloween fun that will keep you talking for days. The Morton Avenue Mega Haunt returns this year with an event called "Sharon MACABRE". Dare yourself this year to pass through the gates and venture through the tortured campsite and into the asylum in order to achieve your treat. Join the team of creepy inhabitants as they do everything they can to keep the candy for themselves. The gates will open October 31st at 7pm for the brave; and for those tiny tots, they can step up to the gate for their treat at 6:30pm.
