HAUNTED HOUSES & NEW FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA ST. LOUIS ESCAPE ROOMS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2021 HAUNT SEASON!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for The Darkness, Lemp Haunted House and Creepyworld are available individually or in combination deals at www.scarefest.com<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
