A Nightmare Starts in Vietnam,
Love Bites, Free Tickets & More
Hello Awaken Fans,
In 1984, a director known for horror movies launched one of the most popular horror franchises in the history of horror.
With only a tiny budget of $1.8 million, this movie would gross $57 million and launch a horror franchise that would spawn 8 sequels, a television show, comic books, a 2010 reboot, novels and more.
The director? Wes Craven
The Movie? A Nightmare on Elm Street
The part you didn’t know?
It all started in Vietnam.
Time for a thread.
Love Bites, Saturday, February 13th!
If you haven’t already heard, our annual Love Bites Valentine’s Day event is all set for Saturday, February 13th!
Our lovely Cupid is rumored to be making an appearance, and we might even be lucky enough to have Fetters the Clown visit again!
This will be our 3rd annual Valentine’s themed event, and we hope it’s just as fun as the previous two. What better way to break up a dreary Michigan February than with an exciting trip through Awaken?
So, please join us for a night of lost loves, tragic endings, and dark scary secrets! You don’t need a date for this Valentine event, but we strongly recommend that you don’t come alone. You and your group will be provided one flashlight as Awaken turns down the lights to pure black*.
Yes, you heard right...one flashlight to travel into the depths of our horror-filled haunt. This means the corners will be darker, the shadows deeper and the fun and scares even scarier. Your imagination will run wild for this fun, exciting and terror filled Valentine’s Day event!
This is a super fun and exciting night of fright and fun that you and your friends won't soon forget!
*For the fact checkers, there will technically be a few areas that will have some light, like our 3D maze and laser swamp.Â
