About us:
A Sparrows Point tradition for over 40 years for HALLOWEEN lovers everywhere!! Victims from as far as Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia have travelled to experience the fright and terror of 'The Dungeons'. Enjoy the 1+ hour tour that includes a walk through the terrifying woods of the Fort Howard county park, and of course the infamous torcher chambers in the dungeons, haunted since the historical battle of 1812, where the likes of Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Hannibal Lector and many many more await your presence. Do you like clowns?
Waiting areas and chicken bypass points are provided for families with children too young to experience the Dungeons and big chickens too!!.
