The Whelden Memorial Library Haunted House returns for its 4th year with Once Upon a Nightmare!

For one night, our little historic library in West Barnstable transforms into a full walk-through haunted house. Wander through handmade sets, eerie effects, live scarers, and familiar nightmares as the library takes a much darker turn after hours.

And this year, the nightmare starts before you even make it through the doors. We’re excited to partner with Graves & Gourds, who are generously donating one of their handcrafted graveyard displays to transform the Whelden grounds for the Halloween season.

Once Upon a Nightmare is more than a night of scares—it’s an annual fundraiser for Whelden Memorial Library. As a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit library, we rely heavily on fundraising, donations, and grants to help support the programs, collections, and services we provide throughout the year.

So come get scared for a good cause.

Every scream supports Whelden. 🖤

⚠️ This walk-through haunted attraction features darkness, loud noises, fog, strobe lighting, frightening imagery, obstacles, and live actors. The experience may be too intense for young children or guests sensitive to these effects. Parental discretion is advised.

Enter if you dare—and whatever you do, don’t let the stories follow you home.
