classic monster movie sets that feature werewolves, mummies, vampires, ghosts, a mad
scientist and sea creatures. Lighting, sound, special effects, actors, and animatronics
make this a haunted house not to be missed! Tours are recommended for ages 7-12.
This year will include a Shriek Week Light option, for those faint of heart, which has all
the fun of the Haunted Tour with lighter frights, appropriate for ages 5-12.
