SCAREDOWN Haunted Attractions is the most original Halloween event you will ever experience. Aside from our one of a kind atmosphere that any Halloween fan would adore, the greatest thing that separates us from every other event in the world is that our Hollywood caliber, award winning haunted attractions are based on actual murders that happened on site! When you come to SCAREDOWN, you are on a journey. Each of our three attractions are completely different from anything else out there. Upon entering any of our haunts, you'll understand it's high regards and intimidating reputation, before the door has time to slam behind you.
The house at SCAREDOWN, known as “DEVIL HOUSE”, was built in 1836, making it one of the oldest standing houses in Warren County, Ohio. Legend has it that in the late 1800's, “Mama” and “Cletus”, with the help of several of their farmhands, brutally murdered their three children and three of their friends, in cold blood. Their 6 year old daughter, Elizabeth, is said to have been the only child murdered in the house. The other children were supposedly camping in the back yard, when Cletus and the farmhands began to terrorize them. Most of them are said to have ran into a nearby corn field, where they were eventually chased down and killed. Some people say that the murders were a random act of violence. Others believe that the farmhands were the driving force, holding Mama and Cletus against their will to assist in the murders. But we find the most evidence in the theory that Mama and Cletus were possessed by the Devil, and brainwashed their helpers to assist in the ritual-like massacre. Along with the six children, the bodies of “Mama” and two of the farmhands were found mutilated in the basement of the house. No records of anyone else's whereabouts are known to this day.
DEVIL HOUSE:
• $12.00 per-person
DEVIL HOUSE is the most original experience you will ever find at any Halloween event. This attraction will not and cannot ever be replicated, because it is truly one of a kind. It is a REAL haunted house. The murders that inspire the theme at SCAREDOWN actually took place inside this home. And to top it off, DEVIL HOUSE is certified haunted by The South West Ohio Paranormal Investigators - what other attraction can say that!? DEVIL HOUSE is open for guided tours. Upon entering DEVIL HOUSE, you will view the evidence from the South West Ohio Paranormal Investigators' visits! See the photos, watch the videos and hear the EVP's ...THEN experience it for yourself!
You will experience a one of a kind, very personal walk through of this terrifying home. There are no actors or special effects. Just you, your brave friends, a tour guide, some light music, and some very antagonizing spirits. It is highly recommended that you do the DEVIL HOUSE tour first, so you get the full background of what you're about to witness in the other two attractions. It's a journey you won't regret, and one you will certainly never forget.
CAMP CLETUS CORN MAZE:
• $12.00 per-person
Made popular in 2012 for being known as the attraction that could make people soil themselves on command, this year we've expanded the horror to over FOUR times it's size from last year! Our new corn maze is over an acre of full throttle, in your face, aggressive terror, lead by none other than CLETUS. This large, rabid, killing hillbilly is accompanied by his trusty farmhands, and has decorated the field with remnants of the one's who couldn't get away. The corn maze possesses the same original and intense driving force that exists in our highly acclaimed, HELLBILLY WORKSHOP. We're certain that you've never been a part of a corn maze like this, but we really want you to try to prove us wrong! We'll be waiting.
HELLBILLY WORKSHOP:
• $15.00 per-person
Although there are several stories as to what these killers' motives may have been, and even variations of how the murders were committed, one gruesome tale resonates in everyone's story; after the murders took place, Mama ritualistically plastered the inside of her barn with the fresh remains of the massacre which she had assisted. And so you have the award winning HELLBILLY WORKSHOP. This attraction is unlike any other haunted production you've ever experienced before. This one of a kind display of evil takes place in an actual barn, filled with aggressive blood-soaked hillbillies, who want nothing more than to make you lose control of every body function you have - and they never fail! The Workshop's main antagonizer is the horrifying, MAMA. Awarded “SCARIEST ACTRESS” by The Scarefactor in 2012, Mama is back with some new toys, and friends to share them with. This haunt is 100% pure, straight out of hell, wish you were never born, EVIL! Last season, HELLBILLY WORKSHOP was the only haunted attraction in Ohio that made it to Team Zombillies' top 10 list. Come find out why!
