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. Children 16 or younger should have an adult chaperone with them at the event.

Once you arrive to Holy City Brewing, you will check in with Southern Screams staff at the check-in tents - located within the brewery - where we will scan your ticket and check your I.D. (if you purchased a R.I.P or Get Buzzed 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 at the bar 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. You will receive your drink/food ticket at the entrance of the haunted house to be redeemed after you walk through the haunted house.

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.
