SCARY

Behind the Screams: Midway Massacre

Visitors navigate through a twisted carnival featuring movie-quality sets and scare actors across two distinct haunted pathways. Groups are staggered and capped at five people to explore cinematic horror scenes without crowded conga lines. Outside the haunted house, guests can play midway games to win prizes, watch films in a mini movie theatre, relax in a themed seating area, and purchase concessions.
