The 8 Haunted Scenes
Firstly, this year we've added a puzzle and riddle that our tour groups must solve.... at each major scene of horror, your guide will ask you to search for a painted or printed word clue.... once found, your guide will check it off from a list and when your group returns to the Dining Hall Gathering Place, you will collectively use the clues to solve the riddle!  
But beware, there is much evil working against you to find the and secure the clues!
​
Werewolf / Witches Circle
Sometimes the witches can't contain their werewolves.
​
Clown Town
These sideshow freaks should never cross paths with humans.
​
Butcher Shop
Let's just say this butcher can carve up anything!
​
Insane Asylum
These creeps should never have escaped from the nuthouse!
​
Hell
Satan himself won't even set foot in here!
​
Baby Doll Nightmare
So many babydolls, each one angry that they have been brought back to life!
​
Chernobyl Nuclear Apocalypse
The human remains of a radioactive death.
​
Graveyard of the Damned
Our final forest trek ends for all those who trespass!
​
And scarecrows, clowns, creepy bride and so much more.
