The Origins of Halloween Tour
Date: Mon 26 Oct – Sun 1 Nov
Location: EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin

Ken's Halloween House of Horrors is back for Halloween 2026. For more than 20 years a house on Bayview Court, off Killiney Hill Road, has turned into a haunted house every October for anyone brave enough to step inside the crypt, and the organisers say they are back "with some new surprises this year".
Opening hours
Entry is free, and the house is once again raising money for Debra Ireland, the charity for people living with EB (epidermolysis bullosa), the condition known as butterfly skin. Last year the organisers said around 2,500 people visit over the four days, and that the house had raised €48,500 for charity, including €40,000 for Debra Ireland since 2009.
Address: 5 Bayview Court, Killiney Hill Road, Killiney, Co. Dublin, A96 NH73.
