  • Fiesta de Chupacabras – Escape or become prey for a no-longer mythical, fanged creature.
  • Hellblock Horror – Try to survive visiting hours for horrifying monsters serving time.
  • Dead Man’s Pier: Winter’s Wake – Enter a petrifying winter thunderstorm in a seaside village ruled by an undead fisherman.
  • Descendants of Destruction – Encounter bloodthirsty mutants living in a post-apocalyptic subway system.

  • Conjure the Dark – Escape an evil sorceress who is bringing forth an army of ravenous monstrosities.
