"Behind the Screams" is Back!
Awaken's exclusive behind-the-scenes event once again opens our season!
Hello Awaken Fans,
Many people have asked us about our “Behind the Screams” event to kick off the season. “Yes”, it’s our opening event this season, and “No”, we don’t host this event every year. For further details on this and more for this upcoming season, please keep reading.
Behind the Screams is Back!
We’ve hosted this unique look behind the Awaken curtain a handful of times throughout the years, and it’s back again for 2022.
“Behind the Screams” is an intimate, one-of-a kind walk-through of some of the most interesting sections of Awaken with the owners and creative staff. It’s fantastic for haunted attraction fans, prop enthusiasts and horror movie buffs of all kinds. See and discuss how various scenes are created, the thought process that goes into our room and set themes and the various items that are found throughout the haunt.

Third Night Added for Art the Clown!
This year Awaken welcomes Art the Clown from Terrifier! That’s right, actor David Howard Thornton will be visiting Awaken on Friday, October 14th and Saturday, October 15th! And, now, due to overwhelming excitement and demand, we’ve added a 3rd night, Sunday October 16th! So, now you have 3 exciting nights where you can visit with David, get an autograph and talk about the upcoming Terrifier 2.
We’re super excited to host David this year and you should be excited also. For those of you who missed David playing Art in Terrifier when it debuted in 2016, here’s the original trailer:
And, in case you hadn’t heard Terrifier 2 will be released on October 6th this Halloween season, just one week ahead of David’s visit. If you liked the original Terrifier, Terrifier 2 looks like an terrifying continuation of the Art the Clown saga.
Art the Clown, and David’s terrifyingly amazing performance in both Terrifier movies, make him an exciting addition to our list of celebrities that have visited Awaken. We can’t wait to meet David this October, and our fans @ Awaken are going to be super excited for his visit! It should be a fantastic weekend!
Horror Movie/Series Happenings
Saloum, September 6th
Technically, this Shudder original film is already out and streaming, but we missed it in our last newsletter. Saloum is a French/African action/horror/revenge film that looks great from the trailer. A group of mercenaries holes up in the mystical region of Saloum for a few nights. What could go wrong? Read more.
House of Darkness, September 9th
Billed as a horror comedy, this film has some big names in the cast. Justin Long plays a man who follows an attractive woman (Kate Bosworth) back to her home in the hope of romance. He soon finds he’s they are not alone and that the woman isn’t who he thought she was. Read more.
Dark Harvest, September 9th
This trailer is definitely of the less is more variety. This grainy movie takes place on Halloween in 1963. Every year, this midwestern town’s “October Boy” or “Sawtooth Jack”, as he’s known, rises from the cornfields to wreak horror with his butcher knife. This year, however, a gang of teenagers will seek to confront him. Read More.
