Dark Harbor unleashes the Butcher for a brand new Friday the 13th haunt

Dark Harbor returns for a one-night-only off-season scare!

The return of Dark Harbor was a fanfare from actors in previous years to guests who have been attending the event since its inception. Now, they’re doing something BRAND NEW for the event.

On Friday, June 13, experience Butcher’s Blackout—a terrifying descent into the Feast maze like never before… in total darkness. Armed with only a dim red glow stick, you’ll navigate the ship’s shadowy galleys and prep rooms, where shadows stretch, blades glint, and The Butcher lurks—eager to test his latest recipe. Spoiler: the secret ingredient might be you. The maze culminates in a gruesomely gory celebration of the Chef, a new, sick and surreal finale sequence where guests witness the aftermath of his most horrifying banquet yet.

There will also be some grand experiences throughout the night, including:

💀 The Summoning of Samuel: Enter the eerie atmosphere of our Summoning circle, where the veil between the living and the dead grows thin. Guided by our gifted psychic Lady Mabel, participants will gather around a dimly lit table adorned with flickering candles and artifacts from the ship herself. As Lady Mabel begins the ritual, a chilling silence fills the room, broken only by the soft, haunting melodies playing in the background. With each whispered incantation, the presence of a malevolent spirit draws closer. The psychic summons forth the vengeful ghost of a notorious murderer, whose restless soul seeks retribution. Brace yourself for an unforgettable ten minute experience of spine-tingling suspense and supernatural encounters, where the boundary between life and death is perilously blurred. *Exclusive to Combo Ticket Holders

🍸 Spirits of Dark Harbor: Step aboard the Queen Mary, learn about the ship’s fascinating history and grab a cocktail or mocktail at the Spirits Bar while you explore the real stories of paranormal experiences and ghost sightings about this notoriously haunted ship and learn how they’ve inspired the stories and characters of Dark Harbor. Included with all admission types.

⚙️ The Engine Room: Venture into the historic Engine Room and see the very heartbeat of this massive ship! Fans of the paranormal will want to brave the Engine Room’s lower level to check out the infamous watertight door 13, where one of the ship’s engineers was crushed to death in 1966.In the years following the horrific incident, visitors and crew members began reporting sightings of a spectral young man in the area, often asking the living for help finding his wrench. While the engineer may have simply been searching for lost tools at the time of his accident, other young crew members were said to have been more daring. A favorite pastime involved jumping through the ship’s watertight doors in a risky game of “chicken.” Dark Harbor imagines the gruesome result of tempting fate in the cautionary tale of Half-Hatch Henry, a mischievous crew member crushed while jumping through watertight door #13 for sport.

One night only—do you dare come aboard?
