If you’re a fan of horror and Halloween or you just like the thrill of getting scared, you’ve probably been to a fair share of haunted houses in the Sunshine State. You’ve probably also attended what some folks consider the Holy Grail of scary attractions: Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. This year, save some money and check out what we consider the scariest haunted house in the state: Scream-A-Geddon.
No one can match the movie set quality of Universal Studios, but most fans agree horror doesn't need a high budget to be truly effective.
The park has five major attractions as well as a Monster Midway full of food and drinks. These include a cursed hayride, zombie quarantine, prison blackout, and a 3-D neon clown experience.
There are creepy characters with all kinds of creative weapons throughout the attractions and wandering through the midway. Classic horror fans will love the level of detail and commitment of the actors. The ramshackle quality of the sets just adds to their realism.
Another thing that sets Scream-A-Geddon apart from other haunted attractions is that visitors can choose whether or not to immerse themselves in the experience.
In two of the attractions, visitors can choose to wear a glowstick around their necks that gives the actors permission to touch them, grab them, separate them from their party, and basically make them a part of the haunted house.
Scream-A-Geddon is located in Dade City, within driving distance of Tampa and most of Central Florida. Tickets range from $25 to $40, depending on the date. They can be purchased online or at the door (but prices go up $5 at the door).
This video from last year’s Scream-A-Geddon will give you a taste of some of the truly scary attractions you will experience there. (Of course, there is some pretty disturbing content, so if you don’t want to be scared or if you want to save the surprises for your in-person visit, then don’t watch.)
