3 Unique Attraction Themes

Dearly Departed: Echoes of the Exhumed

For years, the local funeral director, John Spencer, was a respected figure in town—known for his quiet dedication to laying the dead to rest with grace and dignity. But after the tragic loss of his beloved, the once-revered mortician has turned to desperation. Whispers now echo through the halls of the funeral home, hinting at rituals performed in secret and the use of stolen remains in a twisted attempt to reconstruct the man he loved.
Haunted by grief and the spirits of those he’s desecrated, Spencer roams the corridors of his decaying home, surrounded by the lingering souls of the exhumed. None of his efforts—ritual, prayer, or science—have succeeded.
But tonight is different. It’s Halloween, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. The dead are free to wander—but John doesn’t want them. He wants to cross over. To step into the beyond, find the soul of his beloved, and bring him back. But the deeper he ventures, the more it seems that reunion may only come in death.

Fearwood High: Rhinestones & Rituals

Senior Prom has arrived at Fearwood Central High School, and the students are ready to dance, celebrate, and make memories before graduation. But while most of the class is focused on corsages and crushes, one couple has far more sinister plans for the big night.
Fearwood’s most popular pair—obsessed with perfection, status, and the glittering crown—aren’t taking any chances when it comes to being named Prom King and Queen. With the competition hotter than ever, they’ve decided to turn to something a little darker: blood rituals and whispered spells that promise a surefire win.
As the disco ball spins and the bodies hit the floor, their plan gets put into motion. Blood will be spilled. Crowns will be won. But when the final name is called… we’ll see if it was worth the mess.

Oddball’s: Kill the Spotlight

Scraps and Spurs are back with their troupe of misfits for another year of carnival chaos. Thanks to the runaway success of last year’s show, the Oddballs have leveled up—introducing bigger acts, flashier costumes, and a midway packed with games. But behind the greasepaint and spotlights, not everyone’s smiling.
The side acts are starting to grow restless. They’ve sweated, screamed, and bled just like the headliners—so why aren’t their names in lights? To keep the peace (and keep their own necks intact), Scraps and Spurs have agreed to take a step back for one night only and throw the cast a party they’ll never forget.
The only catch? This private celebration wasn’t meant to be open to the living public. Someone forgot to lock the gate—and now you’re the surprise guest. Hope you brought something to share.

The place is large, however it is incredibly loud and pretty expensive for what you get, and it gets very very busy
