Margate's Halloween Mansion gets spookier every year

  • Entertainment

MARGATE - For attorney Ari Goldberger Halloween is all about making people happy and creating spooky holiday memories.

He has been decorating his Parkway mansion for months to provide some scary entertainment for families to enjoy. This year, he added a walk through display on the Pembroke Avenue side of his home.

His holiday tradition has been going on since he first started decorating for Halloween in 2021. Each year, the display gets spookier and spookier, with new characters added each year. He believes his contribution to the community takes people’s minds off of the horrors of daily life and transports them to places beyond imagination.

Some of the creatures on display are gigantic skeletons, ghoulish goblins and animatronic clowns, complete with sound effects, all designed to scare the living daylights out of spectators. They crowd his lawn, where smaller ghostly animal skeletons tell a story about life after death. Some of the characters are more than 15 feet tall.

Goldberger's Halloween happening has been growing each year, and the corner of Ventnor and Pembroke avenues has become a popular place where people from around the county stop by both day and night. But Goldberger recommends people view it after dark to enjoy the spectacle to the fullest.

Goldberger believes his contribution to the witching season provides children of all ages with a wholesome experience that even the Addams Family would approve.
