Darkness Rising returns with THREE back to back haunted houses!

Wasteland

After the bombs fell, civilization crumbled, leaving a world where the air burns your lungs and the sky is forever choked with ash. The surface is ruled by vicious, radiation-poisoned survivors who hunt any outsiders foolish enough to enter their domain. They have turned the remnants of an industrial wasteland into their twisted kingdom of rust and blood, living by one rule: only the ruthless survive. If you step into their world, be prepared to fight for every moment you have left… because in the Wasteland, mercy is a myth, and survival comes at a gruesome cost.

Dark Matter

A distress signal echoes from the abandoned research vessel U.S.S. Icarus, drifting in deep space. When a rescue crew boards the ship, they discover it isn’t empty—it’s infested. A parasitic alien organism has broken containment, infecting the crew and twisting them into monstrous, tentacled horrors. The corridors reek of decay, and the darkness itself seems alive, whispering, calling, waiting to consume the living. As the infected mutate, they hunt the last remaining souls aboard, desperate to spread the contagion to anyone who dares to enter. In the endless void of space, there is nowhere to run from the nightmare.

The Pharaoh's Curse

Deep beneath the scorching sands of Egypt lies a tomb untouched for millennia. When a team of treasure hunters broke the sacred seal, they awakened a Pharaoh’s restless spirit and his army of mummified guardians. Now, the dead walk the corridors of the tomb, protecting the cursed artifacts and dragging intruders into the darkness. Every step you take, every breath you draw, is an invitation for the Pharaoh’s vengeance to fall upon you. Will you escape with your soul intact, or will you become part of the Pharaoh’s eternal curse?

Decent haunt outing

Had an amazingly good time at the haunts of Darkness Rising. It was an all encompassed Halloween package with fun and good load of scares. There were several rooms with great visuals. The atmosphere was filled with haunted music and we liked the actors who doled out lot of scared. The managed it well even when it was thronged with people. A decent haunt outing for the entire family.

Great evening

Loved the haunts at this place. Good theme and fresh scares were there through out the haunts. A good storyline was followed through out. There were various rooms and it was quite interesting. The scares managed to keep us on our heels. You go around like a crazy nut and if you are lucky you will not loose your shoes. The actors can pursue you till the end. It was an excellent performance by them. Animatronics were put to good use. You feel amazed at the enormity of it. Overall, a great evening.

Completely professional

VERIFIED

Got to know about this haunt through a friend and I checked it out last week. Not bad. I liked the way it was organized. Completely professional about everything. The lines inside the waiting area was managed well. Though they made us wait for long, they were able to provide a hassle-free haunt which we were able to enjoy upfront. was on display from the start. The actors too had great role to play. Top notch makeup and costume make them look their part really well.

Very exciting

Very exciting, and very thrilling. The setup was so good and well organized. When we reached the place was crowded but lines move really fast. Inside it was a scare feast with tons of laughing screaming and running moments.

Amazing & Scary

VERIFIED

Amazing and scary attractions. It was fun filled and we had a blast. Actors were spontaneous and interactive. Each room had scenes that were a part of a story. Visual effects, haunting music filled the atmosphere with fear. Well designed and very well managed. We were happy to see the children enjoy most of it.
