TYSONS, VA — You won't have to wait until October for thrills and chills this year. The new American Scream, a Halloween Selfie Museum is coming to Tysons Corner Center on the lower level near Lord & Taylor beginning on Friday the 13th (Sept. 13).

American Scream features interactive exhibits with all things Halloween and horror, providing guests with Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. Open on select days Sept. 13 to Nov. 3, the museum will have custom-built Halloween and horror sets and activities such as:

• Sit on the Iron Throne for the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms from "Game of Thrones"

American Scream is inspired by similar pop-up selfie museums like the Museum of Selfies in Hollywood and Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco. The experience is run by Gravensteen Haunted Productions, a team of "Hauntrepreneurs" running Haunted House attractions since 1998 and within the DC region since 2013.

Tickets give guests access to the museum for up to 45 minutes. Tickets are available online or at the door. Prices are $18 online and $20 at the door. A discounted $15 rate is available for students, military, police and fire on select dates.
