One of the most popular Halloween attractions in the western suburbs, the Wilkes Family Halloween Display in Bensenville, draws thousands of visitors each year.
Located in a park just outside Bensenville City Hall, the display features scenes and characters from some of the most iconic and terrifying Halloween movies.The entire display was designed and built by the Wilkes family, whose original home setup became so popular that they relocated the event to this larger space to accommodate the growing crowds.
The display is open daily through Halloween night, with live actors—like the twins from The Shining and a creepy clown—making appearances on Friday and Saturday nights from 7 to 10 p.m."Saturday night is Michael Myers night," said Bensenville Village President Frank DeSimone. "So we will have different Michael Myers. There’s a bunch of different movies, so it changes up."Visitors—some of whom reportedly drive hours to attend—are encouraged to make an evening of it.
