This very unique experience will have you talking about it for weeks to come. Attractions include Mansion of Terror Phantoms, which was once known as Adella’s orphanage. Adella delved into black magic and no one was sure of what went on behind those closed doors. For decades it was abandoned, and some say it is cursed. Walk around and see what you think! Or you might like The Zombie City Factory, where this once proud place descended into madness, where the villagers became nothing more than mindless creatures . . . hungry for their next meal of human flesh. Can you keep away from them?

For those of you who think you’re strong, try out Wicked Darkness, The Maze. Enter the Maze and see what waits for you there. Because there are some places which are hotbeds of the paranormal and this is one of them. Sinister and demonic is what you’ll find here, known only as “wicked darkness”. Lastly, the New Slaughterhouse – Virgil’s Last Laff is the ultimate in evil clowns. They fear nothing, until now. Something is making them run for their lives . . . will you find out what?
