MR. B IS BACK. ☠️

Rippin’ teeth. Crackin’ skulls. Roaming the Cursed Grounds with no warning and no rules.
You never know where he’ll show up next.

Whatever you do, don't look him directly in the eyes 👁️

The heat’s got the whole mill stinking like rust, rot, and rancid meat. 🪚🩸

Flies on the walls. Blood in the sawdust. Guts hanging off his work clothes.

If you hear that saw start up behind you?
Don’t turn around.

We are grateful to be mentioned with some extremely talented haunts!

This only adds to the energy we plan to bring💀 😈

New scenes, new routes, new faces, and we hope you all come and see the changes we made this past offseason! 💥

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀... 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼?

Here are 10 Indiana haunts we think are worth having on your radar for 2026, from massive multi-attraction scream parks and underground haunts to interactive experiences, old-school favorites, and creepy trails through the woods.

This list is in no particular order, and these definitely aren't the only Indiana haunts worth visiting. Think of it as a starting point for planning your 2026 haunt stops.

Now we want to hear from YOU: Which Indiana haunt would you add to the list, and which one on here are you most excited to visit this season? 👇

CODE BROWN. 🚨🪰

Something foul has taken over the locker room, and naturally, the janitor is having the time of his life.

He’s buzzing. The walls are dripping. There’s an unmarked yellow bottle nobody wants to claim.

And the smell? Hot, humid, sour, and the kind of stink that sticks to the back of your throat and follows you out the door.

We’re gonna need a bigger cleanup crew.

🚨 NEW HIRE ALERT: Meet Dixie, our newest Cut N’ Run's Machine Tech! 🚨

Dixie came to us with a very specialized résumé. Her previous experience includes catalytic converter removal, usually after midnight. Her speciality is turning unattended copper wiring into cold, hard cash. 🔧💰

She’s got questionable references, suspiciously specific knowledge of scrap-metal prices, and absolutely NO idea where your catalytic converter went.

Dixie’s a real mess. Naturally, we hired her immediately. 💀

Come meet Dixie at the When Darkness Falls Haunted Trail… and maybe don’t leave anything valuable in the parking lot. 👀
