The 2007 All New Attractions

CarnEvil Funhouse & Freakshow: This all-new attraction combines the worst phobias into one nighmarish experience. Evil clowns, scary carnival workers and freaks: the dark side of a funhouse, it's all here. Once you enter this place of horrors there will be no escape, for it doesn't matter what you do—at some point you will have to fall asleep! “Once inside CarnEvil, the Ring Leader invites you to first experience the show and then audition to become one of it's permanent performers. He has a special machine to measure your "freak potential," but we already know that anyone foolish enough to enter this place must already be pretty freaky!” Said Miller.

Pirates: Isla de los Muertos: All new for 2007! Journey back in time to the 1700's and get swept up in a wild romp with some roudy pirates as they seek to rescue their captain from the bloodthirsty inhabitants of an ancient temple. You will travel from the fortress through secret passes, under the sea, and then on to a tropical isle that's anything but peaceful. Davy Jones waits for all those who do not make it out alive. “Our theatrical designers and consultants have created a realistic feeling environment with our own brand of scary special effects and trained actors—a winning combination that promises a night not to be forgotten,” said Henry Miller – Producer

Hayden Institute for the Criminally Insane: Unspeakable things happened at the Hayden Institute for the Criminally Insane. Experiments that brought human torture to new depths of depravity...secrets that died with their victims and the practitioners of the demonic acts that masqueraded as medicine. Now there are no living witnesses. Nothing survived Dr. Blood's excesses; nothing endures except the building in which they occurred. But that building holds all the secrets of its terrible past. It's going to be a long night. “The Hayden Institute for the Criminally Insane is a place where dark shadows cause more than the hairs on the back of your neck to stand. This is an entirely new concept for Scream at the Beach that makes use of amazing special effects and very energetic "patients" to make your hearts beat fast. Expect a touch of gory medical experiments to flash into focus as you discover the secrets of the institute,” notes Miller

Return of the Voodoo Woman: Do the living dead walk the earth? Venture into a dark bayou to learn the terrible answer to this question. An old Voodoo Priestess welcomes visitors to her shack, only to "serve them up" as dinner for her minions of zombies. Survive if you can. Curse of the Voodoo Woman is a trip into a dark, zombie infested swamp that begins in a Voodoo Shop and ends in total darkness surrounded by hungry zombies. The entrance is modeled after a real voodoo temple in New Orleans. A sign to one side has the Legba Vever symbol in the center surrounded by the text: "Voodoo Spiritual Temple, Priestess Marie Laveau."

CarnEvil Thrill Rides: New this year: a full-featured carnival with scary thrill rides and even scarier Ride Operators. There are no "kiddie" rides here so hold on tight! Concert Stage: Dance to live bands nightly at the new outdoor concert stage.

Monster Theater: Watch free live shows, participate in contests and watch Halloween movies.

Monster Pit Photo Studio: Pose for group or individual pictures with our monsters and take home special memories.

Tarot Card Readings: Join a mysterious tarot card reader for a private session and gain insight into your future.

Photo Opportunities: Spread throughout the event are a variety of photo opportunities for picture taking. By all means, bring your cameras or take advantage of our Photo Station. Scenes include giant murals, stocks, jail cells and more. You might even be able to persuade one of our monsters to pose with you!
