The nights of operation depend on the season. Please review our "Schedule" page to determine which nights we are open in September, October, and November. When you go to purchase tickets for a specific event night, you will select a time slot to arrive.

Southern Screams is an intense haunted house and is recommended for guests who have a tolerance for being scared, which can vary in age. Children under the age of 13 are not suggested, but it is up to the parent/guardian. Any minor under 18 y/o must have a Parent/Guardian on property to sign a Waiver for the minor to enter the haunted house.

Once you arrive to Holy City Brewing, you will check in with Southern Screams staff at the check-in tents - located outside in the brewery courtyard - where we will scan your ticket. Once your ticket has been scanned, your group will be automatically added to a virtual line queue for the haunted house. During this time you are encouraged to grab a drink and hang out around Holy City Brewing. Once it's time for your group to enter the haunted house, you will receive a text message instructing you to head to the haunted house entrance. R.I.P Access and Behind the Screams Guests receive priority in our virtual queue and have expedited lines.

The actors will not ever intentionally touch you, and you should not touch them either.

We may have to temporarily pause entrance into the haunted house to allow inclement weather to pass. If there is extended inclement weather, we will make the decision whether or not to remain open for that event night. We will share with guests on-site and via social media if the event is closing for the night. If an event night is canceled due to inclement weather, ticket holders will have an opportunity to transfer their ticket to a different event night.

The walkthrough experience will vary based on you/your group's speed as you experience the terrifying halls of the haunted house. The attraction is over 4,000 sq. ft and is comprised of many winding hallways and rooms for you to experience!

You will be grouped together in small groups - based on crowd size that night - to journey through the haunted house. If you arrive as a large group, your group will be split up to ensure the best experience possible. If you are alone or with a very small group, you may be grouped together with another group.

What kind of question is that? It's a haunted house!

Absolutely — and then some. Southern Screams uses strobe lights, complete darkness, fog and haze, sudden loud noises, air blasts, foul scents, and more throughout the attraction. This is not a mild experience and is designed to frighten, startle, and disorient. You've been warned.

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended. The attraction includes outdoor areas, uneven terrain, grass, and gravel. Also consider the weather - much of the experience are outdoors and South Carolina fall nights can be unpredictable!

Strollers and baby carriages are not permitted in the haunted house.
