Nightmare on 13th Attractions: New Scares From Your Worst Nightmares in 2022
Nightmare on 13th truly raises the bar, not only for other haunted attractions in the area, but also for themselves. Every year, they are proud to present 13 uniquely themed “nightmares”, but rest assured that you’ll never see the same set twice. Those nightmares include:
- Black Water – Don’t anger the Hoodoo Queen or she’ll curse you with her Black Magic.
- Deep Freeze – Tread lightly through this Yeti-ridden iced-over temple.
- Nightmare Alley – Do not interrupt the monsters’ worshipping of the Great Pumpkin…or else!
- Dark Ride of Terror – Just FYI – it’s probably not a good idea to walk through a classic dark ride operated by killer carnies…
- I-Scream – A group of killer clowns have taken over an abandoned ice cream factory, but beware of the ingredients in their new product.
- Helheim – Don’t get caught going through this Nordic Nightmare.
- Ossuary – This Crypt beast thrives on the pain and bones of its victims.
- Call of Cthulhu – Here you’ll find yourself abandoned on an island of terrifying temple ruins and fish-like monstrosities. Need we say more?
- The Hex of Sleepy Hallow – Be kind to these two sisters, or else their magical hex will curse anyone who crosses their path!
- Black Thorn Manor – Beware: the ghosts that haunt its halls echo the horrors of its past.
- The Depths – The dark cavernous world where the creatures of the dark live in search of The Void…
- Swamp Blood – Be careful of the Hoodoo Queen’s precious “pet” or it will be your blood filling this swamp.
- Dark Harvest – The Harvester’s greatest Seed of Evil has just been planted. What will come of it?
All of the above feature second-to-none theming and storytelling. These, and professionally trained actors; professionally crafted costumes, masks, and makeup; cutting-edge animatronics, and audio/lighting effects lie within the walls of Nightmare on 13th’s 36,000 square-foot facility. Give Nightmare a visit for an immersive and genuinely creepy and scary experience. It’ll be a guaranteed evening full of unexpected jumps and screaming your lungs out!
They even keep you entertained in the courtyard where you enter to the waiting queue inside.
Psst! Your group also gets a free picture taken with a character before going in!
