About this listen

In this episode of The Dark Carousel Podcast, we step into the fog-filled backyard of one man’s obsession, Dark Acres. For 13 years, John Acors has transformed his own home into a 2000 square foot haunted world, built by hand, fueled by heart, and opened for one night only on Halloween. What began as a small neighborhood scare has grown into a tradition that captures the spirit of what haunting is all about.


Every wall he builds and every scream that echoes through the night is powered by pure passion. John isn’t chasing fame or money. He’s chasing the feeling of keeping Halloween alive for everyone who still believes in the magic, the mystery, and the thrill of being scared. His story is one of late nights, creativity, and community.


Saving Halloween is a reminder that you don’t need a big budget or a massive team to create something unforgettable. All you need is heart, imagination, and a love for the season that never dies.
