HAUNTED HOUSES & NEW FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA ST. LOUIS ESCAPE ROOMS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2021 HAUNT SEASON!
The area around St. Louis’ historic Soulard neighborhood might just be America’s scariest square mile with two of the nation’s top haunted houses and two fright-themed escape rooms opening for the Halloween season.
The Darkness, called America’s Scariest Haunted House, opens for 2021 on Friday and Saturday, September 24-25 from 7 to 10 p.m. The haunted attraction will be open on weekends through October 17 and then every night from October 21 – 31, ending the season on the weekend of November 5-6.
The Darkness celebrates its 28th Year of Fear in 2021 with a renovation that has made the experience longer and scarier with 200 animated scenes. New scenes include a Killer Pumpkin Barn, Haunted Conservatory, a Horror Arcade with pinball games, a new five-minute Coffin Escape Room, Zombie Jam Basketball, Walking Dead Shooting Games, Horror Arcades, Ride the Electric Chair, and photo opportunities with the haunt’s living monsters.
The other Scarefest attractions, including The Lemp Haunted House — located just one mile from The Darkness — and Creepyworld in Fenton, MO, open for the season on the first weekend in October.
The all-new Lemp Brewery Haunted House is located deep underground where operators promise, “no one can hear you scream.” Inside the historic brewery’s caverns — once used to lager beer and host parties — guests will come face to face with demons and navigate confusing mazes inside the pitch black limestone cave. Creepyworld is America’s longest haunted “screampark” with 13 attractions including a haunted hayride, graveyards, cornfields and a Christmas-themed haunted house.
Tickets for The Darkness, Lemp Haunted House and Creepyworld are available individually or in combination deals at www.scarefest.com.
