Make a difference

Each October, HOWL’d awakens to share a free and frightfully fun spectacle with St. Charles and the surrounding communities—a yard filled with eerie enchantments and a haunted house brimming with playful chills. Our lanterns wouldn’t glow, nor our howls echo, without the kind support of spirited visitors like you.

Every donation helps keep the magic alive, fueling next year’s haunt and ensuring the shadows return stronger than ever.

Conjuring Up Generosity!

HOWL’d gives back!

As the nights grow longer and the veil between worlds grows thin, our haunt channels its energy not only into frights but into kindness. Each season, a portion of the spirits’ offerings is passed along to worthy causes beyond the grave.

For the 2025 haunt season, HOWL’d is supporting two organizations, spreading a little light even as the lanterns flicker low:

Wild Hearts provides comprehensive continuous care to pets with mobility issues and financial assistance, training, and resources for the families that love them.

National Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s saves lives through the prevention and cure of ovarian cancer and improves the quality of life for survivors and their caregivers.

Over the years, HOWL’d has proudly supported the following organizations:

TLC Camp is a non profit organization that provides a fun-filled week of camp activities for children with cancer and a sibling. The children are ages 5 through 13. What makes this camp unique is that it is the only camp in the state of Illinois that allows a sibling to share in the experience.

Let's Scare Cancer is a nonprofit charity organization that raises funds to provide sponsorships to fellow haunters fighting cancer. Built by haunters for haunters.
