Delusion: The Blue Blade
Sep 20 @ 6:40 pm

The world has become erratic since the theft of the Blue Blade; artifact of unknown origin rumored to give its owner the power to tear through the fabric of space and time. Once held by the Safeguard Society, an elite group of historians, the blade was stolen by Professor Evelyn Lowell… one of their own.

Evelyn went underground and unlocked the mysteries of the blade. For years she ran a black market, amassing wealth by taking clients to other eras. But as prying eyes grew near, she disappeared. Rumored to be protected by a shadowy cult.

The fate of time and space hang in the balance as Evelyn and the blade slip further away. As a sign of desperation, the Safeguard Society look to you, their most promising initiates, to track down Evelyn and the blade.

There have been no leads. Until tonight.

CRYBABY – 2018
At Perpetuum Penitentiary the madness continues. As Paula continues to serve her time, she continues her decent into darkness. An unseen side of Paula is now coming into focus. A thought or mention of her dead child torments her soul and brings forth a psychotic rage aimed at those around her. The prison psychiatrist has prescribed Art Therapy, inflaming her rage and suffering. As a last resort, he has given her an unorthodox tool… A therapy puppet named “Lincoln”. Meant to represent her suffocated infant son, it will push her to a place of evil & perversion. The depravity spreads like a virus.

Will the puppet, Lincoln, lead her to acceptance of her crime? Or will it push her to nightmarish depths previously unknown. Will Paula chose a path to redemption or will she be devoured by the darkness, becoming a permanent inmate of hell. Otherwise known as Perpetuum, Death Row.

Paula, her dead son, and You are ……… Crybaby

Freakling Brothers Trilogy of Terror – Las Vegas
Sep 28 @ 6:00 pm

Freak Facts

Established in 1976, Freakling Bros., creators of Las Vegas’ premiere haunted attractions, unveiled the cities first free-standing haunted attractions in 1992 at the corner of Sahara and Decatur Boulevard.Circus of Horrors

Three years later the company pioneered the development of the industry’s first six trailer, completely self-contained mobile attraction, paving the way for a new concept in “haunted houses” that would sweep the country.

By the year 2000, two additional attractions had been added giving the company three separate and unique haunted structures. Every few years one of these attractions is demolished and completely rebuilt, insuring Freakling Bros. the ability to present the newest and most innovative technology available.

Gates of HellIn 2011, in an aggressive attempt to remain on the cutting edge, we unveiled the first ever R-Rated Haunted attraction in the state of Nevada, The Gates of Hell: an experiment in serious, uncompromising, interactive horror. It was an unprecedented gamble based on one simple theory: that our adult audience was ready for something more. What we had initially built for a niche’ audience surprised us by becoming a main stream success. Geared for the 17+ crowd, and based on the concept that “things happen to you”, The GATES of HELL is now a nationwide haunt industry phenomenon and an absolute game changer in the city of Las Vegas. 2011 represented a sort of rebirth for Freakling Bros. We experienced overwhelming crowds, and were Ranked #1 in the Western U.S. by Scarezone.com.

Then in 2013, with the unveiling of The Victim Experience, an all new level of intensity was achieved: “The only must-see Haunt in Nevada!”. “Third most Extreme Haunt in America!”. “Our staff considers Freakling Bros. one of the top Haunted Attractions in the world!”. We have reestablished ourselves, once again, as the trend setter in the haunt industry.

Circus of Horrors Performer

By concentrating on primal fears, relying on the power of live performers, and employing the art of theatrical illusion, Freakling Bros. has been and continues to remain a leader in the haunted attraction industry, with a reputation as “one of the best in the business” for over 30 years.

Will the puppet, Lincoln, lead her to acceptance of her crime? Or will it push her to nightmarish depths previously unknown. Will Paula chose a path to redemption or will she be devoured by the darkness, becoming a permanent inmate of hell. Otherwise known as Perpetuum, Death Row.

The Haunted Trail
Sep 28 @ 7:00 pm

Located in San Diego’s world famous Balboa Park, The Haunted Trail is a stroll through the park you will never forget. Enter the mile long Trail through the twisted grove of pines and gnarled oaks. Visitors watch your back, you’ll never know which way the terror will hit you.

This year, The Haunted Trail is CONJURING up STRANGER THINGS so terrifying that you may get a KRAMPUS as you scramble to escape the GAME A THRONES. Run the gauntlet with horror icons Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, The Ring Girl, The Exorcist and Annabelle. Press through the crowd of Freddies inhabiting the Ghoul Bus and oh yes, don’t think we forgot about the saws. Prepare yourself for the terror of the chainsaw wielding voodoo masters.

True to form, the Haunted Trail is not for children under 10 or the faint of heart. Experience an outdoor terror that is simply too big to house indoors.

Before you are sent through the Trail, you will have to find your way out of a maze that is so disturbing it can only be described as, “The eXperiment”. This twisted maze of incarcerated lost souls stalk you as you scurry through. Try to find your way out before you become an “experiment” yourself! *maze is included in admission price.
