CELEBRATE
“20 YEARS OF FEAR” AT THE DARKNESS DURING THE 2013 HAUNT SEASON IN ST. LOUIS
Best
Haunted House in the Nation Open Now!
St.
Louis – The Darkness, America’s most celebrated haunted house, has been scaring
fright fans for two decades. To mark its 20th anniversary of terror,
the nation’s scariest haunted house has been completely renovated.
Ranked
the top haunted house in America, The Darkness combines special effects with
Hollywood-quality set designs to create an experience like no other. For the
2013 season, new scenes and state-of-the-art digital effects and animatronics
have been installed and are waiting to terrorize visitors. Nearly one million
fans have visited The Darkness since it opened in 1993.
“In
2013 The Darkness will be at its biggest and best ever,” said Larry Kirchner,
owner and the man behind the haunt’s terrifying vision. “We’ve completed our
biggest renovation in the history of the haunt to make our 20th season the
scariest yet. So if you’re a fan of haunted houses, this is the year to see if
you can stand up to the things waiting to scare you in The Darkness.”
The
Darkness is so terrifying it’s been featured multiple times on national
television shows dedicated to finding the top haunts in the world, including
National Geographic Channel, USA Today, Modern Marvels on The History Channel,
the Travel Channel, the Today Show, Fox News, A&E and many others. This
year, “Making Monsters” has visited The Darkness to create a new creature that
will be unveiled during the season.
For
the haunt’s 20th year, the fear begins outside where the Dead Drac
band will entertain the crowds and monsters will slide up and down the street.
Inside more than 35,000 square feet of sheer terror awaits guests with
frightening scenes enhanced by unpredictable scares from live actors.
TerrorVisions in 3D – a screamingly popular part of The Darkness – is all new
for 2013 with CGI effects The Darkness Celebrates 20 Years of Fear incorporated
with animations and explosions. The Darkness’ Monster Museum sports new horror
movie memorabilia for the 20th anniversary.
The
Darkness opened for the season on Friday, September 13, 2013 and remains open
weekends in September and October 4, 5 and 6, then remains open each night from
October 11 through Sunday, November 2, 2013.
