Screamers Haunted House Post Road Recreation Center.
An Adrenaline junkie's dream. If you're looking for a good place to take a
date or a couple of friends, Screamers Haunted House is your best bet.
This attraction, located on the Eastside of Indy, is cleverly housed inside the
Post Road Recreation Center, which means it is unaffected by poor
weather, unlike a lot of haunted houses. Also, there is a video game room,
mini-golf, go-karts (several kinds and many courses) and, to top it off,
hand-made pizza and ice cream. Another boon to this catch-all: it's one of
the few I found that was open during the week, which means busy 9-5ers
can stop by after work. One of the owners of Screamers, Darrell Wilkerson,
remarked that he and his partner Andrew Key, change the early 1900s
farmhouse-themed event almost daily, constantly improving the scare
factor, ensuring that you'll never quite get the same fright twice.
Screamers also features hand-sculpted ghouls, period pieces and 80% of
the props are made from scratch. The ending is not your typical
chainsaw-wielding sadist- a relief. As my guest remarked, hoarsely, after
finishing our tour of Screamers, "A sign of a good haunted house is a sore
throat at the end."

SCREAMERS HAUNTED HOUSE: IT'LL GIVE YOU THE CREEPS

Don't look for a lot of weird lighting, music and fog here. Screamers is a
throwback to old-fashioned haunted houses, with plenty of creepy
atmosphere and a bonanza of talented scarers. There are a few mildly gory
rooms, but nothing that would traumatize.

The Screamers scarers are masters of misdirection. As you walk into a
room, you're bombarded by atmosphere -- furniture, decorations, mirrors.
Sometimes a dark figure will be standing in front of you. Is it a live person
or a statue? What's real and what's not? You'll find out the hard way.

Screamers also employs custom-made pneumatic devices to disturbing
effect. The 13-minute excursion's best encounter is a hallway of faces with
bloody, empty eye sockets poking through the wall. Then they all . . . well,
you'll have to see.

Other highlights include an undead surgeon operating on another zombie,
a bloody bride admiring herself in the mirror, and a playroom with scores
of dolls nailed to the walls.
