About

The Monster Bash is an after-season party that’s “for haunters, by haunters.” Anyone and everyone who works in the haunted house industry – from owners, managers and actors to makeup artists, set designers, parking flaggers, volunteers and vendors – PAST OR PRESENT – are 100% welcome! Join us at the region’s largest gathering of haunters to send off the 2022 haunt season in style!

The event’s finest offerings include an incredible party atmosphere, a LIVE haunt tour with an award-winning attraction, free drinks, music, a costume contest with CASH prizes and awards, door prizes, cash-and-carry vendors, and The Scare Factor’s very own Awards Ceremony. Whew!

2021 was an incredible year for the event, with about 400 guests in attendance from dozens of haunts across the Midwest. This year’s event is expected to be even higher, so spread the word to each of your fellow minions and let’s show Indianapolis how it’s done!

Nightmare on Edgewood – Indiana’s most intense haunted event – returns this fall with all new sights to show you.

Music

Music will be played with DJ-style lights and black-lights throughout the night.

Cash & Carry Vendors

Vendors will be set up on-site offering a variety of cash-and-carry items for you to purchase. Items are typically small, hand-made trinkets.

Haunters Against Hate Drag Show

The Haunter’s Against Hate Drag Show has been a huge hit among guests since the beginning, and it’s coming back for more this year! Join our queens and kings as they perform LIVE and help us support this amazing cause. All tips collected are donated to this wonderful organization.

Costume Contest

The Costume Contest is a fantastic way to show off your finest costume creations!

Contestants will be selected in the same way as last year:

As guests mingle, the judges will be on the lookout for select characters: the ones they believe are sporting the most elaborate, detailed, and well-designed outfits that are relevant to the theme (“Neon Nightmare”). Those characters will be given “invitations” to participate in the costume contest.

(The judges will do their best to give invitations early in the night so that the people wearing these sometimes bulky costumes can change into more comfortable attire until it’s time for the contest to begin.)

Just before the contest, the invitees will be called upon to line up near the stage. When the contest begins, each character will be called up to display their creations to the entire crowd (and the judges, of course), so everyone can see them in all their horrific glory!

After everyone has been examined, the judges will deliberate and determine the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!

Prizes for this year’s winners are still TBD.

The Costume Contest is scheduled to begin after the haunt closes, and usually takes around an hour. The winners will be announced during the Awards Ceremony.

The Scare Factor’s Awards Ceremony

The Awards Ceremony is where Tyler & Nora (Team Zombillies / owners of TheScareFactor.com) will be announcing the award-winning haunts and actors from this haunt season!
