This is a revolutionary concept in Halloween entertainment. Rather than a simple Haunted House, guests are treated to the ultimate in thrills and chills as they make their way through three completely different haunted attractions in a natural forest setting. In addition to the three attractions, we offer a huge entertainment concourse - The Concourse of Carnage - set up like a macabre fair that has freaky sideshows, fortune tellers, fire performers, food and beverage, and merchandise vendors. This year’s attractions will include Purgatory; at a half a mile in length, it is one of the country’s longest haunted attractions. Experience a thrilling hayride into a very creepy 1860s ghost town and The Legends of Dead Man’s Hollow. Come face to face with the horrors of the undead at Cemetery Hill. In addition, we are hosting a number of sideshows such as a Coffin Burial Ride, Fire Performers and Fortune Tellers. Located 15 minutes east of North Kansas City. See our Web site for schedules and directions.
