Nightmare on the Bayou
This Halloween haunted attraction in Houston, Texas was started around nine years ago and has grown to be well known today both for its scare factor, as well as its reports of actual ghost activity. Owner/creator Bob Wright took his hobby of scaring customers at his costume/decoration supply store, Party Boy, and transformed it into its very own haunted attraction. Recently, Wright hooked up with haunt specialist and prolific writer/director of the famous haunt book, The Haunted House Employee Handbook, Rich Hanf to further expand Nightmare on the Bayou. Today the attraction is spread out over 15,000 square feet and features a couple of different attractions for one admission.
The Attractions
Nightmare on the Bayou features a mixture of Hollywood-style props, animatronics, loud noises, and multiple actors to surprise their guests. They feature both an outdoor and indoor haunted house, as well as head-shrinking show and torture chamber. Guests entering the indoor house are armed with 3D glasses to navigate a maze of murals that jump out at them, while dodging the wandering creatures and loud noises that keeps them on their toes. The head-shrinking show encourages audience participation to witness the illusionary effects.
Haunted?
The haunted attraction can make the unusual claim of being one of the few haunts in the world that is actually haunted. Nightmare on the Bayou sits next to the historic Olivewood Cemetery (see Olivewood Cemetery, Houston, TX), which was the first graveyard in Houston for African-Americans. Guests to the haunted attraction have reported seeing the straying spirits from the cemetery wandering into the Halloween haunt and adding more than a little authenticity to its spookiness. Nightmare on the Bayou's site currently has a place dedicated to future listings for experiences reported by their guests, but as of this writing, it is still under construction.
