The eerie underworld has multiplied with more monsters than ever before as ErebusHaunted Attraction, opens for its 25th season. The alarm-inducing panic disturbs and distresses mortal sensory perception as those who dare maneuver their way through the world-famous four-story, more than half-mile labyrinth walk through house-of-horrors as creatures grab, bite, attack, and bury you alive.
The Erebus team works year-round, devising, refining, and adding new signature experiences. This year, Erebus has completely built out and transformed its third floor, diving into nostalgia with its theme of the Nightmare of Trick-or-Treating with a wicked twist. Erebus is excited to bring back the vintage elements of Halloween with the eerie glow of Jack-o-Lanterns lighting the way, as the lurking presence of the boogie man will make their hair stand on end. As guests navigate through the living forest, they will encounter spine chilling surprises culminating in the ultimate freight of being devoured by a giant, chomping pumpkin. It’s a blend of memories and spine-tingling immersion that evokes that nostalgic yet nightmarish feeling of trick-or-treating.
Erebus signature experiences include the swamp, bottomless pit, spiked wall, spiked spindle, and the intense “buried alive” room where guests face the challenge of holding their breath as they’re buried alive. Known worldwide for pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable experiences, Erebus conjures up and builds most of its props and special effects, guaranteeing guests have a unique and different experience than at any other haunted attraction in the world.
