Nighttime Event Highlights
Haunted mazes featuring iconic horror films:
Army of the Dead – Based on the infernal Netflix film: Las Vegas is sealed behind walls of steel and death. You're trapped inside the quarantine zone where hordes of flesh-hungry zombies prowl neon-lit streets. Navigate casino floors littered with carnage and dodge ravenous zombies amid the glitter and glow of this once-great destination. The city of sin has become a city of the dead—escape or join them.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) – Welcome back to Harlow, Texas—in this corner of the world, secrets are buried deep and a dark truth lurks behind closed doors. You may think this ghost town has potential, but these blighted buildings harbor bloody memories. Leatherface haunts these streets, and your arrival has driven him to slaughter.
The Conjuring Universe – Based on New Line Cinema’s iconic horror franchise: enter the Warrens' occult museum where their most terrifying cases await. Face Annabelle's malevolent stare, flee from The Nun's unholy presence, and survive the Perron farmhouse's demonic forces. Each cursed artifact awakens ancient evil. Tonight, you're not just observing their cases; you've become part of them.
Trick ‘r Treat – Based on the darkly comic Halloween classic: enter into a world where tricks dominate treats, and learn the season's rules before setting out into this twisted Candy Trail nightmare. This spine-chilling experience will test your bravery and make you think twice before trick-or-treating again.
