The Thrashers House of Terror and Midwest Haunted Rails will continue to scare folks throughout the weekend.
For 15 years now, the Thrashers House of Terror has given haunted house-goers nightmares.
From all monsters that stalk the night, visitors can expect clowns along with a slew of other monstrosities.
Thrashers House of Terror has been considered one of the scariest and one of the top haunted houses in the state.
The house uses a selection of special effect lighting, intense audio, automation, strobe lights, smoke machines, and extremely low visibility. Visitors might also experience wet conditions, as performers are designated to frighten visitors as much as possible.
It’s recommended that you not enter if you’re pregnant, are sensitive to distorting lights, have a heart condition, or have any other medical condition.
Visitors may not touch or hit the actors, and no smoking or drinking is allowed inside.
The haunted house will be open for three more days on Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight. An admission fee is charged.
The Midwest Haunted Rails has been operating since 1998.
Visitors get unlimited rides of the Ghost Train of No Return, The Ghostly Trolley, and Haunted Carousel.
People get the opportunity to traverse the Midwest Old Threshers ground experiencing a Halloween-themed ride.
Midwest Haunted Rails will be open for two more days, Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
