Attractions

Haunted House

Nightmare Alley

Enter Nightmare Alley, where a deranged doctor’s obsession with immortality has taken a monstrous turn. Hidden deep in the ruins of his twisted lab, he’s discovered a horrifying secret—his own blood can create life... but never anything human. Now, flesh-crafted abominations roam the halls. The walls pulse. The air stinks of metal and rot. And somewhere in the dark, the doctor waits—with syringed hand, ready to make you part of his collection. 

STREET EXPERIENCES

Plaza Mictlán

Let your soul be guided by a Xoloitzcuintli dog through this fully immersive zone inspired by the Aztec underworld. Plaza Mictlán pulses with music, memory, and myth—where Banda, Latin rock, Mariachi and Aztec dancers awaken the night for spirits just beyond the veil. Ancient gods line the street, while vendors serve food steeped in heritage and ritual. This isn’t just a festival. It’s a celebration of death, culture, and the thin line in between. Honor the dead… or join them.

​

"Safe" Zone

Step into the heart of the chaos where the undead roam freely. This area is littered with zombies, grotesque décor, and interactive experiences. Guests can witness live "zombie outbreaks" while navigating dark alleys strewn with abandoned vehicles and makeshift barricades.

​
Cirq D' Freak

The Circus Came to Elgin... and Never Left. Cirq D’ Freak was once a show of wonder—until one zombie bite turned the Big Top into ground zero. Now, undead clowns juggle limbs, fire-breathers scream flames, and aerialists drip bloody glitter. Every act is a nightmare—and you're in the front row. Game booths creak with decay, food stalls serve the grotesque, and barkers entice. It's horror wrapped in carnival lights. Step right up—if you dare. 


Kingdom of Plantae

In this overgrown, post-apocalyptic jungle, nature isn’t healing—it’s hunting. Vines crush ruins, spores infect the undead, and glowing fungus twists zombies into floral horrors. Beware vine divas, dark fairies, and the monstrous "Swarm Thing" lurking in the shadows. This isn't your grandmothers garden. It's war. And the plants are taking back the city.

​

​Thunder-Dome: Welcome to the ​Blood Lands

Born from the wreckage of the old world, the Blood Lands thrive on chaos. Here, zombie blood is fuel, fire is life, and survival comes with a price. Rusted scrap cities rise from dirt and rust, while the Thunder-Dome Stage erupts with battles, bass, and blood-soaked spectacle. Even the hookah lounge offers no peace—just smoke, dust, and desperation. In the Blood Lands, only the brutal thrive. 

Svengoolie's B-Movie Boulevard

Step into a zone dripping with B-movie madness, honoring the legendary Svengoolie. Jam with the undead Zombie School Bus Band, cheer on a decaying pep rally, and watch live graffiti murals come to life in blood-red, ghost-white, and toxic green. Dare to enter the Spiderweb Cave, where silk and shadow hide venomous creatures—and Fang Young, the queen spider who doesn’t forgive missteps. Cap it off with a meet-and-scream: Svengoolie himself, autographs, rubber chickens, and all the campy terror you crave. It’s weird. It’s wild. It’s wonderfully undead.
