Scream-A-Geddon Seeks To Frighten Intrepid Visitors For 7th Year

DADE CITY, FL ? Urban legend says to avoid the dark, murky waters of Bloodwater Bayou when the sun sets. Passersby have a nasty tendency to go missing while trying to take in the still water at twilight.

Despite the warnings, hundreds of thrill seekers are flocking to Dade City to tour Bloodwater Bayou and other spine-tingling sights as Scream-A-Geddon returns for the seventh year with six scary attractions to explore.

The haunted venue at TreeHoppers, 27839 Saint Joe Road, Dade City, will run on select nights in September and then every night in October through Oct. 31.

Voted the Best Haunted House in America in 2020 by USA?s Best Haunted Houses, composed of the top haunted attraction experts in the country, Scream-A-Geddon invites intrepid visitors to explore the new Bloodwater Bayou as well as past favorites Ravenhill Asylum, Demon?s Revenge, Rage 3D and Blackpool Prison.

Visitors are also invited to take in the games at the Monster Midway, try their hand at the Zombie Paintball Assault and enjoy refreshments at Bonzo?s Beer Garden.

The newest addition, Bloodwater Bayou, delves into the legend of a priestess who walks the backwaters with a bone headdress, a necklace made of fingers and a trail of bloody footsteps.

Obsessed with the notion that the waters of the bayou must be purified, she hypnotizes the innocent with Hoodoo magic and transports them to an alternate plane of existence where the shadows are crawling with demons and monsters.

The only means of escape is the powerful Papa Legba, the Speaker of the Dead, who determines the fate of all who enter Bloodwater Bayou.

Other haunted venues challenge visitors to escape Ravenhill Asylum where deranged and demented patients roam after being subjected to Dr. Monroe's evil experiments; Blackpool Prison where the inmates, the worst of the worst, have taken over; 3D Rage where abnormal clowns and other creatures reside in a nightmare world in which walls reach out and threaten to trap visitors; and the village of Avalon where witchcraft reigns.

At the Monster Midway, visitors can sit around a fire pit, sipping beer and wine from Bonzo's Beer Garden, enjoy foods, shop at the Scream-A-Geddon gift shop, pose for photo ops and play some midway games.

Face coverings are not required but are recommended and hand sanitizers are available throughout the park. All staff are fully vaccinated. Costumes and face paint are prohibited.

Scream-A-Geddon is recommended for adults and teens, but younger children may attend if their parents choose to bring them.
