This year, Scream Fest will be hosting four haunted house<\/strong> experiences: Sanitarium, Castle of Doom, Casa De La Llorona, and The Graveyard. The venue also features a Call of Duty Blackops-inspired H-Town Paintball experience<\/strong>, Nuketown, that which is free with price of admission, those participants will need to purchase the paint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When operational, the festival also features nightly live music<\/strong> by local Texas bands, most of which lean into a darkly appropriate sound \u2014 including Rob Zombie-tribute band<\/strong> American Witch. Concerts start at 8 pm nightly.<\/p>\n
