Asylum Haunted Scream Park

asylum

The Asylum Haunted Scream Park has four, terror-filled attractions all in one location.  When you visit, you will literally spend hours being scared to the brink of insanity! 

This concept is absolutely brilliant! When catching up with owner Richard Teachout, he walked us through his vision.  This is not just your typical haunted attraction site, where the teenagers and adults come for a good scare.  This can actually be a family outing, with the kids witnessing the fun of the freak show, and maybe even taking aim at a few alien zombies, while the older and more "scare tolerant" of the group can witness the other terrifying haunts. 

And does this creative idea actually work? Absolutely!  Ranging from carnival games to monsters in the woods, this Scream Park takes a highly original concept and follows it through to the amazing reality of a Halloween family attraction, that can still be absolutely horrifying when it needs to be.

The Carnivale of Lost Souls, featuring the Blue Moon Circus, is a vibrant, electric freak show experience, with side-show performances, games, food, and plenty of entertainment.  And best yet, this area of the Asylum is free to enter, and is definitely fun for all ages. Again, this is the place for the younger crowd to hang out and still experience a taste of Halloween... Asylum style.

Now, Xterminate has got to be one of the most original takes on a haunted attraction I have ever seen!  This shooting experience has guests "xterminating" killer alien zombies, who lurk around every turn in this 17,000 foot arena of doom. Armed with guns and a mission, your group will chase down these alien forms until you can finally escape with your life.  Xterminate is also yet another attraction that could possibly be experienced with the entire family.  Depending on your eleven year old's scare level, as that this is more of an "adventure" than something that may promote night terrors, it could definitely be included in your family adventure at the Asylum Scream Park.

Zombie City, however, is a completely other story. This is a physical immersion into the scariest movie of the living dead that you could possibly imagine.  As an action-packed haunted house, it is nearly impossible to escape the disease! You will move throughout this attraction at a slower pace... actually interacting with those within, who are making an attempt to get you out alive.  However, some are not so lucky... in this unique, beyond brilliant take on the Zombie rage!

And now we go back to where it all began.  The original haunt at the Asylum, Darkness Falls is a mile long journey through the woods, traversing through indoor and outdoor areas of mayhem, with the horrendous sounds of a chainsaw close behind. Let me warn you, this is not at all for the faint of heart.  Your adrenaline will pump. Your heart will race.  And you WILL want to run... but as you quickly discover, one frightening scene only leads you to the next, as you try desperately to escape the madness. 

The Asylum Scream Park is a MUST NOT MISS Halloween attrraction, that just has to be one of the most unique concepts that Louisville has ever seen!  Produced by a group with an indescribable passion for all things macabre, the Asylum Scream Park should definitely be part of your annual Halloween tradition.
