Unlike typical haunted houses, this event is conceived and built by artists, making it a unique, creative, and thrilling experience. Groups of 4-6 will be guided through synchronized "stages" featuring elaborate lighting, sound, special effects, and dark humor that will scare even the bravest souls. WARNING: This haunted experience is not for the faint of heart.

Parental discretion is advised.
