St.
Louis - The Darkness, America's most celebrated haunted house, has been
scaring fright fans for two decades. To mark its 20th horror, 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 as monsters roam 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 - offers new animated
and explosive CGI effects for the 2013 season. The Darkness' Monster Museum sports new horror movie memorabilia for the 20th anniversary.
The Darkness opens
for the season on Friday, September 13, 2013 and remains open weekends
in September and October and each night during Halloween week through
Sunday, November 2, 2013.
Tickets begin at $25
for adults and $22 for children ages 10 and under. Fast passes and
