Now, let’s delve into the nightmarish attractions that await…

Sinister Mazes to Navigate

• NEW – Alien Abyss:  The Department of Alien Research has been secretly cross-breeding two aggressive life forms. Their goal: to develop a biological weapon in the event of future warfare. When civilians are invited to tour the research compound, something goes terribly wrong. The only way to exit the compound is to move forward, but are they being followed? And where are those new life forms?
• Hotel St. Michelle: Everyone has heard about the haunting tales of the old Hotel St. Michelle, but are they true? As you sneak into the abandoned hotel, named after the manager’s missing daughter, you eerily find the hotel is not abandoned but very alive in spirit!
• Cornered: Trespassers beware! The farmers don’t take kindly to uninvited guests. Don’t get caught or you might just become a permanent part of the field. When the farmer is away the scarecrows will play. The fire in the house was only the beginning.
• KillMart: Are you prepared to survive? Supply shopping in a post-apocalyptic world is risky business, but this particular grocery store is cutting costs down to the bone.
• Madame Fatale’s Cavern of Terror: Step inside this world-renowned wax museum filled with masterpieces both classic and creepy, and a past too tragic to share. Beware as you navigate through this Halloween maze of oddities, or you might be visiting for longer than you like.
• Slaughter House: Sick of paying too much for the perfect cut? Well then come on down to the Rivertown butcher and see how we’re slashing more than just our prices.

Terrifying Scare Zones

• NEW - ABANDONED: The problem started years ago on the grounds of the newly developed Miami Valley Lumber Company. Men and women, 66 in total, entered the lumber company and were never seen again… at least not the way they used to be. Stepping into Rivertown, outsiders find themselves immersed in a small abandoned lumber village that’s haunted by something mysterious. The forest is overrun by supernatural creatures that have riddled their confines with darkness and despair. Are these the lumber yard workers from days past? And, which of them are evil?
• Alien X: When the darkness falls, the people working inside Area 72 will be able to show their true form. The secrets of Area 72 are revealed. Walk through the displays of Alien creatures who have been contained…well most of them.
• Coney Maul: C.J. Masterson may have disbanded his traveling circus years ago, but those who shocked and awed the audience can’t seem to leave the only place they’ve called home. Step right up to witness a freak-show gone awry and see what has taken hold under this big top of terror.
• Pumpkin Eater:  The notorious Pumpkin Eater is on the prowl, hidden within the dark confines of the haunted town he once terrorized. Beware the demons who roam the winding serpentine road. They were townsfolk once, just like you.
• International Street Fear: Step right up to see the strange and mysterious creatures that stalk the shadows and lurk around every corner of International Street. Legend says that these doomed souls are condemned to haunt International Street for the rest of eternity.

Thrilling Live Entertainment

• NEW - Dr. Nightmare: Dr. Nightmare and his assistants test your skills with trivia and games throughout the night.  Answer correctly and you might win a prize.  Answer incorrectly and your worst dreams might just come true.
  • Location: International Street Bandstand
• Monster Rock: Classic rock explodes on the stage in this revue featuring the monster hits of Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and more.
  • Location: Festhaus
• NyteWalkers: When the acrobatic and action sports world meet Zombies, the perfect theatrical combination of exciting stunts, a suspenseful storyline, and creative staging brings the audience an action-packed one-of-a-kind adventure.
  • Location: International Showplace Theatre
