Spooky Seasons Greetings

As the crisp autumn breeze rustles through the leaves and the days grow shorter, our favorite holiday is creeping ever closer. Yes, you guessed it—Halloween is right around the corner! What better way to celebrate this spine-tingling season than by venturing into the eerie depths of a haunted house... Brace yourselves for a journey into the unknown as we unveil the chilling, Once Upon A Scream.

Nestled along Chesapeake River Way, the Patriot Activities Council (PAC) and GMU Housing and Residence Life bring Once Upon A Scream back to life for one night only! Every October, as the moon wanes and the nights grow darker, The Ridge undergoes a transformation like no other. The creaky doors swing open, revealing a haunted house experience that will leave you trembling with terror. In the heart of a small, rural town there is a seemingly abandoned carnival littered with crazed, psycho clowns waiting in every corner. Through the unsettling chill in the air and overwhelming sense of fear, visitors are transported into a world of horror. The event offers different levels of scares, ensuring that everyone, from the bravest to the most timid, can have a spooktacular time. Don't forget to come in costume—you might just blend in with the eerie ambiance! Once Upon A Scream opens its haunted doors on Friday, October 27th 7-11pm. Don't miss your chance to embark on a chilling adventure this season!

This year’s Once Upon A Scream is scarier than years past and offers a variety of hair-raising attractions for brave souls who dare to enter. Here's a glimpse into what awaits:

Haunted House, Pumpkin Smashing, Carnival Games, VR, Stuff-a-Plush, Face Painting/tattoos, Low Stimuli Zone, Photobooth & much more…

Whether you're a fan of the supernatural or just looking for a spooky adventure, don't miss your chance to visit the carnival that has been haunting our town for centuries. As the moon rises and the wind howls, Once Upon A Scream beckons. Will you accept the invitation to explore its haunted halls and unravel the mysteries that lie within? Gather your friends, summon your courage, and prepare for a Halloween experience you won't soon forget.
