Lead Writer, Travel

A family of skeletons stocking up on the essentials is so 2020 it's scary.

Ontario's Skeletons of Vivian Line are bringing some bone-tickling fun to the Halloween season with their daily antics and activities.

The bony family has been gracing a Stratford resident's lawn for the past seven seasons.

From Thanksgiving Monday to November 1st each year, the skeletons perform all sorts of heart-warming scenes which change daily.

The family consists of five main characters, each with their own unique personality. 

Trick, Or, Treat, Skin-Ann, and Bones return to the lawn every year with their pets Grimm, Reaper, Scowly, Spider, and fan-favourite Pumpkin the Rat, who is known for his Doritos obsession.

The family has taken part in a variety of activities over the years, including hot air balloon rides, Justin Bieber's wedding, and ziplining.

There have been over 130 different displays completed to date, with no repeats.

You can visit the display for free while following COVID-19 safety protocols. Donations towards Operation Smile are accepted.
