Unique
HAUNTINGLY
JOURNEY BEYOND THE BIG SCREEN WHERE FORGOT TEN SOULS AWAIT... Each fall, Lackawanna County is the proud home of one of the most unique haunted attractions you will ever visit. Circle of Screams is America’s only haunted drive-in theater. Behind the big screen lies the dark side of the Circle Drive-In. You’ll experience three dimensions of terror while trying to escape tormenting clowns as you make your way through the Carnival of Fear 3D. If you escape the ghoulish jesters, you’ll have a moment to catch your breath while you enjoy the Circus of Fire.
6
Moving deeper through the dark and spooky forest, you’ll be faced with the next chapter of your eerie adventure; Twisted Tales, where the bedtime stories you grew up with will turn into nightmares. Beware the crazed author who wrote these gruesome fantasies and venture through his Haunted House… if you dare! A walk through the woods at the Circle of Screams will keep you clinging too tight to your partner, fearful to be alone in this chilling haunted attraction.
* The 2019 season opens Friday, September 20th. Twisted Tales is a walk-through on semi rough terrain. No open-toed shoes/sandals/dress shoes will be allowed. This is an outdoor haunted attraction, please dress accordingly.
