Creatures waiting in a dark cellar inside the haunted house

Select nights, late September through early November

The last two nights of the season at Southern Screams, Charleston’s premier haunted house:Lights Out!

Welcome to the darkness. Your group finds its way through the haunted house with nothing but a lantern to light the way. Whatever’s waiting in the shadows already knows you’re there.

  • Fri, Nov 6
  • Sat, Nov 7

Move your lantern. Something’s in here.

Coming next season

A new nightmare every year

Every season the house is torn down to the studs and rebuilt around a new story: new sets, new characters, new ways to make you scream. Next season’s theme: THE THING IN THE WALLS. Revealed soon.

Follow @southernscreams to see it first.

The lights go out. Your group finds its way through the haunted house with one lantern. Whatever’s in the dark already knows you’re there.
