What differentiates Nile Nightmares Haunted House from other local haunts in Washington?

Nile Nightmares is located on 40 acres in the heart of Seattle's urban sprawl. Because of this unique location we are able to provide a large, immersive Haunt to the greater Seattle area. This location makes it possible to provide indoor attractions and also includes an immersive outdoor trail area with thematic vignettes such as Ballinger Cemetery and The Witches Woods. The Haunt includes a 3D maze. Custom logo 3D glasses are provided free of charge for use in this area, which features artwork from local artist and "Skin Wars TV Show" contestant Dutch Bihary. Local artist Kurius Karissa added her own style to the scene with a 20' long 3D mural. Featured in the Toxic Waste Dump area. In addition we were fortunate to have Kierstin La Patka on our team. Kierstin was runner up on the latest edition of the TV Show "Face Off". Kierstins work can be seen in the Infernum scene.

How long has Nile Nightmares Haunted House been in business? Can you tell us a bit more about Nile Nightmares Haunted House's history?

We are celebrating our 7th year in operation at the Nile Golf Course in Mountlake Terrace, WA. What started as a small family friendly Haunt has evolved into Seattle's premiere indoor/outdoor haunted experience. Along the way we have picked up a talented team of artists and actors, whose dedication to their craft shows in the detailed sets, makeup and costuming.

Once in the Haunt itself each group of guests embarks on a self guided tour of the six attractions and the Nile grounds. The amount of time in the Haunt itself varies from 20-30 minutes depending on your pace. We won't rush you, but many end up running!

It is well known that the site of the present day Ballinger Asylum was formerly used as a sanitarium during an outbreak of an unknown virus in the late 1800's. The virus was said to have caused insanity in anyone that was infected. The spirits of the victims are still said to haunt the grounds!

The main reason is to provide a creative outlet for local artists, and to allow the public to experience the best that a Haunted House has to offer.

How has new technology (i.e. animatronics, special props, etc) helped you to enhance Nile Nightmares Haunted House?
