Halloween Season Ends; Offseason Schedule Begins!
Jingle Hells, Love Bites and Dan Sperry Highlight our off-season schedule.
Hello Awaken Fans,
Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone and our off-season events will be here soon! In just over a week, our Jingle Hells event starts the fun on Friday and Saturday, December 8th and 9th.
After the New Year, we’ll open for our always popular “Love Bites” Valentines Day special event. You don’t need to be a couple to show up for our special Cupid celebration with a horrificly wonderful twist. Join your family and friends for a fantastic February night. Check out Love Bites on Saturday, February 10th!
Finally, our off-season will be headlined by a spectacular performance from shock illusionist, Dan Sperry. Dan will perform on our main stage Saturday, May 18th. See below for all of the exciting details!
Awaken Presents “Jingle Hells”!
Some call it “Jingle Hells”. Some call it “Krampus Christmas”. But, whichever you prefer, we call it a scary good time!
For just 2 nights, Friday, December 8th and Saturday, December 9th, we turn Awaken Haunted Attraction into a Winter Wonderland filled with magical fun for everyone….well, “magical” isn’t exactly right. Unless by “magical” you mean dark, bloody and terrifying with horrific twists waiting for you around every corner. That’s what we actually create.
This is an amazing snow-filled event that you won’t want to miss. Tickets are on sale now. We can’t wait to see you at Jingle Hells!
Love Bites - February 10th
Please join us for one night only on Saturday, February 10th for a blend 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 that 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!
Tickets will be on sale soon! Love will be in the air at Awaken and rumor has it that Cupid himself might be making an appearance!
*Technically, there will be a few areas with some background light, etc.
Did You Know?
Our Valentine’s Day event is your last chance to see this year’s completed haunt before our offseason (Feb-Sept). Once Valentine’s is over, our staff will get to work on adding, changing and improving Awaken before next year’s haunt season. So, if there’s a specific theme or room you loved from last October, this may be your last chance to visit it.
Dan Sperry Returns to Awaken for One Night Only!
Dan Sperry returns Saturday, May 18th!
Please join us as we present the amazing Shock Illusionist Dan Sperry, one night only, Saturday, May 18th at Awaken Haunt!
For those of you who don’t know, Dan Sperry The Anti-Conjuror is hailed as the most popular and in-demand illusionist of this generation. As a result of his jaw-dropping performances on multiple record-breaking international tours, numerous network television appearances, and some of the most underground viral videos to ever plague the Internet, his legion of hundreds of thousands of dedicated fans span world-wide.
Combining the art of magic with the macabre, his totally unique and edgy illusions initially capture the imagination of crowds across the globe. But it is his unhinged, shockingly eccentric humor and audience interaction that makes his live show a truly unique experience that has been dubbed, “Totally icky, yet totally awesome”, “…Left me laughing to tears. The cynical Alice Cooper of Magic”, and one that “Has audiences laughing and shuddering in equal measure”.
From starring in the best-selling magic show in Broadway history, The Illusionists, and headlining their world tours for 5 years, sky-rocketing ratings on America’s Got Talent, Germany’s hit series Das SuperTalent, The Today Show, TLC’s Cake Boss, Penn & Teller Fool Us, Masters of Illusion and more to selling out countless performance venues around the world, Dan Sperry presents a magic show for people who love magic shows but an even better show for people who hate magic shows.
Don't miss this opportunity to see Dan Sperry up close and personal!
2023 Halloween Season Recap
The 2023 Halloween Season was fantastic for our guests and everyone at Awaken! Crowds were strong, and our line management and line speed were better than ever. Our lines moved quickly while we kept distance between groups. We really appreciate those of you who came out, and loved the great reviews.
For the haunt itself, we concentrated on a number of small changes versus any major theme adjustments. There were a number of new and creepy curves and corners. We added surprises all over. Despite the weather being somewhat miserable this season (lots of rain), our actors were exceptional. Additional actors were added throughout, and this was likely the best group we’ve ever had (kudos to them!).
Up front, we added our pole barn to help with the line queue. We are excited to have this addition, and look for it to be enhanced and used more and more for future events. Also, we revamped our mini escape room in the lobby, and our guests seemed to like the new barber shop theme.
Overall, it was a great season. If you made it out, we hope you had an incredible time and thank you for your attendance. We hope the 2024 season will be even better next October!
