All New scares and surprises are coming to Heartstoppers Haunt this year

“Something new is creeping in for 2026”

Entering their 19th season as an established haunt, Heartstoppers decided it was time to rebuild and showcase what they are offering for the 2026 season.

Our most exclusive experience yet: the Frightfully Fancy Club. A private lounge, a personal escort to the front of every haunt, and a few surprises we’re not ready to reveal. Only 20 guests per slot. Details drop September 5.

All four haunts, rebuilt.

Deadlands

was a silver boomtown, lawless and mean, the perfect hunting ground for relentless bounty hunter Cyrus Lynch. Then the bodies he buried started climbing back out of the ground. Now the shops stand boarded up, and the streets sit silent, broken only by the shuffle of the dead. Cyrus is the last man alive, and he knows this is his doing. He can’t prove it, can’t undo it, and can’t bring himself to put these poor souls down twice. So he traps them and buries them in the dark corners of the Deadlands, fighting to keep the infestation from spreading beyond. Trouble is, the dead don’t stay where he puts them.

House McCutchen

During the height of the silver rush, the McCutchens built their grand estate on cursed Deadlands soil. Now the towering mansion stands silent, yet never still. Whispers ride the cold drafts, shadows move when they shouldn’t, and the echoes of children’s laughter linger deep within its halls. Once repurposed as a strict boarding school under Emma McCutchen’s watchful eye, the west wing still echoes with the cries and footsteps of long-lost students, restless spirits bound to their final lessons. And Emma is still here too, her footsteps always somewhere nearby, searching for something, or someone. Step carefully. Step quietly. The house remembers, and it doesn’t like strangers.

The Blightwoods

Enter the Blightwoods, a cursed forest where the trees whisper secrets and the shadows move with unseen things. This was old, sleeping country long before Deadlands, and when the dead rose in town, the wrongness bled out into the trees and woke it up. Three witches rule these woods now, each one hungry for its ancient magic, none of them to be trusted. They don’t chase. They lure. Travelers wander in, and travelers don’t wander back out. If you’re brave enough to venture into the Blightwoods, be prepared to face your deepest fears. Because once you enter, even if you make it out, you won’t be the same.

Misery Mine

Opened as the Silver Dollar Mine, back when the silver was good. After enough cave-ins, bad air, and men who went down and never came up, the folks of Deadlands gave it a new name: Misery Mine. Years ago it caved in for good and sealed the whole crew underground. Then someone found fresh silver in the lower tunnels, and the greed that built this place reopened it. New men were sent down. They haven’t come back. Now you’re going in. Narrow tunnels, crushing dark, no air to spare, and the trapped miners still down there, still starving, still desperate to claw their way out. Do you dare brave the darkness for a little silver in your pocket?

A brand-new stage show.

“Redemption!” plays in Ghost Town at the top of every hour, the story that ties all four haunts together before you ever step inside.

More to do between the screams.
