Every year since 1996 local artist and creature designer, Tim Murton puts on a display that is unparalleled anywhere.
The Twilight Zoo is a collection of his creepy creatures, witches, monsters, and creations that he painstakingly builds, repairs, and installs all around Elora, Ontario every fall. The "zoo" continues to grow and get better with each year. 
Take a trip to the village of Elora, and see what the "Monster Guy" has put together this year. The monsters are invading the town, taking over the shops, parks, and homes all around town.
