LAFAYETTE, La. (KMDL-FM) - Our friend and former UL Ragin' Cajuns baseball great Phil Devey is back at it again. He's transformed his Lafayette, Louisiana home into one of the best "fright houses" in Acadiana.

A Halloween Tradition in Lafayette

For several years, Devey and his family have transformed their Lafayette home's exterior into an elaborately decorated Halloween display that families love visiting.

It has grown so large over the years that the Devey family has named it "Fright House on Lefleur."

Inside the “Fright House on Lefleur” Experience

In the past, Phil's creations have included 12-foot skeletons, 3-headed dogs, motorcycle-riding witches, walk-through cemeteries, lasers, lights, music, and projection shows.

While "Fright House on Lefleur" is free to view, Phil has used the opportunity to raise money for worthy non-profit organizations.

A Fun Way to Give Back to Acadiana’s Arts

This year, he's teaming up with Lafayette Ballet Theatre for the annual Halloween fundraiser.

Lafayette Ballet Theatre puts on productions featuring international principal guest artists, local contracted dancers, alongside our Acadiana area's talented youth. Full-length classical story ballets are presented annually in the Spring. The Nutcracker, a holiday tradition in Acadiana, includes over 140 local students.

How to Donate and Request a Song

Viewers who go by the house are asked to scan the QR code located on the property to make their donations. You can go directly to the donation site here.

This year's "Fright House" features a "band," and for every $50 donated, you will get the opportunity to request a song of your choice for the band to play.

When and Where to Visit the Fright House

This year's "Fright House on Lefleur" is up and running now through Halloween. It is located at 116 Lefleur Circle in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The full display is out each weeknight but Phil Devey tells us that the band, holograms, smoke machines, etc., are only operating during weekends -- Friday and Saturday from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm and Sunday from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. So, if you'd like the full experience, make sure to visit on weekends.
