A Ghoulishly Good, Hair-Raising Halloween in the

Boo-tiful North Suburbs!!!

Nightmare Hallow Scream Park in Columbus is THE PLACE for the Ultimate

Ex-FEAR-ience!

WHAT:          Nightmare Hallow Scream Park (formerly Nightmare at Troutair)

For 21 years now, Nightmare Hallow Scream Park has been opening its creaky, cob-webbed doors to frightfully delightful ghosts, goblins and good old fashioned fun! It’s a Halloween must-have for families all over the metro and beyond.

Don’t be a scaredy-cat, join us (if you dare) starting Friday, October 5^th for mischief and mayhem the entire family will enjoy! One step onto the hallowed grounds and you’ll notice a show of lights that will take your breath away… just before the ghosts do! Other terror-iffic activities include:

The Haunted House

Those who enter are changed forever! The creepy hallways, dark passages and unspeakable occupants create a chilling experience that will have you clinging to your friends and family while making your way through the madness. Through every door and around every corner a new surprise awaits to satisfy even the bravest of thrill seekers!

The Haunted Hayride

Step into the doom wagon at your own risk! This 30-minute tour of fun and fright takes you along dark, demon-filled woods, fright fields and spooky swamps, where all things evil reside! Riders on this trail of terror will see 22 different scenes including roaming monsters, pneumatic animatronics and nail-biting suspense around every twist and turn. This is a MUST-SEE, MUST-TRY Halloween experience and hands-down the best, longest and most detailed haunted hayride in the metro. Don’t forget to hold on… you’re in for a bumpy ride!
