LIGHTS OUT will Feature Everything You’ve Come to Fear About the Darkness

Nothing is scarier than darkness and Fearplex “Lights Out” is coming back to the Pomona fairgrounds to haunt the halls once more after a short hiatus. Here’s the press release with more info:

“Southern Californians’ options for a frightfully good Halloween haunt just got more terrorizing-ly plentiful. Fairplex, home of the LA County Fair, today announced a new LA County scare just in time for Halloween.

Fearplex Presents LIGHTS OUT will offer guests an interactive screamfest through mazes and graveyards. Here, everything the imagination doesn’t desire is unfortunately within reach – the dead become the undead, monsters are real and the fun of a county fair morphs into a gory carnival of carnage! Dates of the event are October 6-8, 13-15, 20-21, 27-31 from 6-11 p.m.

At LIGHTS OUT, darkness reigns, and the nightmares feared at bedtime come to life with heart-pounding intensity. In the darkness, the possibilities are endless ... dead endless. LIGHTS OUT is a destination of incomparable horror – perfect for the thrill seeker in most of us.

“It is time we put our scare on,” said Walter Marquez, Fairplex’s President and CEO. “Fairplex’s 100-year-old grounds are the perfect setting for a Halloween season event like this. We have a built-in infrastructure that can support an eerie narrative. Plus, I think people are always looking for new experiences to try.”

According to America Haunts, an organization composed of the most successful and well-known Halloween haunted houses in the world, the haunted attraction industry is a multi-million dollar enterprise. The haunted attraction industry in the U.S. generates approximately $300 million in revenue annually, not including amusement parks’ Halloween attractions.
