Houses
- 13: Your Number’s Up – A dark tower locked away has re-opened and your deepest and darkest fears come to life and are lurking in the shows on the 13th floor.
- Bitten – Set in Eastern Europe in the late 1800’s, the Bitten house is full of suspicion and darkness. Legends and folk lore tell of vampires and undead that prey on the innocent. The Bitten house sits upon the road in which all travelers pass… but only few return.
- Catacombs – A tunnel in a ruined cemetery leads you into an underground city. The underground city has become a final resting place for those who were buried there, but things aren’t as quiet as they appear… Voices of the dead speak and some of them have even taken shape.
- Cut Throat Cove – Something has gone terribly wrong! In the market, pirates have been slaughtered and something evil is at large… The only way out is with the buried treasure.
- Dead Line – Construction of a new line for the Pompeii Metro was moving along until an old pipe was struck and it burst. Strange gas has leaked into the Metro and all communication has been cut off.
- Root of all Evil – This decrepit greenhouse is full of evil plants who have taken over and poisoned their creators. You’re next.
Terror-tories
- Demon Street – Paris is burning and the entire city is engulfed in flames. Fiery fiends lurk around every corner looking for fresh flesh to road on a spit.
- Ports of Skull – A ship graveyard filled with lost souls that were doomed to haunt the vessels they once sailed upon.
- Ripper Row – When will Jack the Ripper strike next? He’s been plucking random and innocent victims from the English streets to satisfy his curiosity.
- Vampire Point – Beware and watch your next as blood thirsty vampires are looking for fresh blood to drink.
- Wendigo Woods – Mysterious creatures have been spotted lurking and stalking through the woods.. The campground has been shut down, but whatever is lurking hasn’t been contained just yet.
Shows
- Fiends – The doctor and his pink-haired nurses are back to create the ultimate Fiend with the operation of a lifetime.
