Terror Behind the Walls is Back!

An extraordinary theatrical production, Terror Behind the Walls features animatronic props, digital sound effects, and Hollywood-quality costumes and makeup.  It takes an elite team of 14 makeup artists three hours to prepare the cast of 150 performers for the five haunted attractions that compose Terror Behind the Walls.

The event designers will premiere a brand-new attraction for this year's event.  Infirmary, a hospital themed haunted attraction, invites visitors to explore a prison's long-abandoned medical wing.  Startling surprises await, as visitors encounter the empty operating rooms, recovery wards, sterilization chambers, and, of course, the morgue.  A giant walk-through sterilization chamber is sure to induce vertigo for even the strongest stomachs and minds.
