Scare Zones
New scare zones this year include: Thunderbolt Alley where classic monsters meet a 1950s Rockabilly sensibility with a horror twist and Nightmares: Reign of Blood unlocking a new chapter of fear in a twisted take on the classic tales in Wonderland.
Popular scare zones from last year have also returned including Plaza de la Muerte which brings together the eerie and vibrant traditions of Día de los Muertos; Underworlds of Oz explores a darker; twisted version of Oz where enchantments turn nightmarish; Grimmlore Ridge which is a realm of shadowy branches and the haunting calls of ravens; City Under Siege with clowns causing chaos with sinister laughter and unsettling grins; CarnivHELL features a circus overrun by carnivorous carnies; Nightmares: A Twisted Fantasy presents childhood stories turned into unsettling nightmares; Devil’s Triangle takes you into the ocean’s depths, haunted by the souls lost there; The Deadzone is overrun by cyberpunk zombies feeding on the unwary; and Exile Hill which is filled with sinister souls lurking in the dark passage.

Entertainment
If you need a break from the running and screaming but sitting on a bench is a little too passive, there’s some entertainment to enjoy, as well.
Taking a break from the scares can be a drag but Margo Rita’s Monster Ball is a howling delight as shrieking sirens claw their way to the crown to be Queen of Monsters. Returning favorites include Sliders of the Night and the Unleashed opening scaremony.
