What Is Nightmare on 9th Street?
Nightmare on 9th Street is a community-created haunted-yard attraction organized by Creswell resident Joanie Kent with support from local residents.
Rather than a traditional commercial haunted house, this Halloween experience takes place in a residential yard that becomes a seasonal attraction for visitors to explore.
The event has returned over multiple Halloween seasons, with neighbors helping bring the tradition to life.
The organizers haven't published a complete list of this year's individual decorations and scenes, so visitors will get to discover what has been prepared when they arrive.
A Haunted Yard That Helps the Community
While Nightmare on 9th Street is all about Halloween fun, there's also a worthwhile cause behind the attraction.
Donations collected during the event benefit two local organizations.
Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary
Located in Creswell, Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary is a nonprofit dedicated to helping rescued farm animals and promoting kindness, compassion, and humane education.
The organization provides care for animals and works to help people better understand their needs and experiences.
Creswell Food Pantry
The Creswell Food Pantry helps local individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Contributing to this event is an opportunity to support local charitable work while enjoying a Halloween attraction created by people in our own community.
The organizers are suggesting monetary donations or four cans of food.
Blue Barn Farm & Sanctuary also plans to leave Halloween coloring sheets at the attraction as a treat for visitors.
Can You Bring the Kids?
Yes! The organizers encourage families to bring their children to explore the haunted yard.
However, parents should keep in mind that this is a Halloween attraction with spooky decorations and themes.
No official age minimum or scare-level rating has been announced for 2026.
If you've got younger children who scare easily, use your judgment or contact the organizers before visiting.
Things to Know Before You Go
A few helpful reminders for anyone planning to attend:
Dress for the weather. Late October evenings in Oregon can be cold or wet.

Bring a donation. The organizers suggest monetary contributions or canned food.
Respect the neighborhood. Avoid blocking driveways and follow any posted parking instructions.
Keep children close. Younger visitors may need extra supervision around Halloween displays.

Missed the First Weekend? There's More Coming!
If you can't make it Sunday, don't worry. Nightmare on 9th Street is scheduled to return for another three evenings during Halloween weekend.
Friday, October 30: 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM
Saturday, October 31 (Halloween): 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM
