Scream-A-Geddon gets a $2.5M makeover with new midway ahead of Spooky Season 2026

If you go down to the woods this spooky season you'll discover Florida’s scariest haunted attraction... yes, Scream-A-Geddon is back!

Be afraid folks, be very afraid because haunt season is fast approaching, and at Tampa's Scream-A-Geddon, spread across 60 acres in a remote corner of Pasco County, the spooky fun kicks off this years on Labor Day Weekend, with the gates to hell opening on Friday, September 4, 2026, and running select nights through November 1.

Scream-A-Geddon Horror Park which is back for it's 12 year, is located at 27839 Saint Joe Rd in Dade City, and is one of the scariest horror attractions in Florida, featuring five haunted houses, a zombie paintball fight, monsters who can and will grab you, and a huge midway that's had a massive makeover for 2026, with organizers promising the most terrifying season yet.

Scream-A-Geddon is only a miserable 1 hour, 30 minute drive from Orlando, and well worth the journey out in your doom buggy!

The 2026 season brings a $2.5 million renovation of the park’s poular midway area. Bonzo’s Bizarre promises food, drinks, and choas, with Bonzo and his twisted troupe of clowns entertaining guests throughout the midway.

Guests entering the park this year will now discover a fully paved midway winding past permanent covered pavilions, four new food trucks, new fire pits with s’mores, and an upgraded beer garden pouring local wine and craft beer.

The food trucks, include Sugar & Steam serving fresh donuts, warm funnel cakes, hot cocoa, and coffee, while Fire and Fry offers flame-grilled favorites including gourmet burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, chicken tenders, mac & cheese, footlong hot dogs, and fries.

In addition to the revamped midway, guests will encounter six attractions, including Killgore’s 3D Circus, The Bloodwater Bayou, Ravenhill Asylum, and Demon’s Revenge.

Killgore’s 3D Circus

Killgore’s 3D Circus is the most mysterious big top show in America. Mr. Killgore parades his circus into small towns across the country during Halloween season, making a killing in the process. Disfigured clowns perform in the streets before the circus arrives, taking note of prospective “customers”. The rest of the troop arrives and its baggage wagons are unloaded, the marquee is built and playbills are thrown about town.

Then the “show” begins… Mr. Killgore draws in the crowds and puts on a mesmerizing 3D spectacle, as one would expect. But as the days wear on, severed body parts start showing up on doorsteps, piercing screams are heard from the big top and the dry smell of blood permeates the town. Just when the locals start to connect the dots, Killgore’s 3D Circus disappears overnight leaving only the damp festival grounds where it once stood, saturated with carnage.

Ravenhill Asylum

Due to deteriorating conditions and negligent management practices, the Florida Department of Health ordered Ravenhill Asylum to close its doors on March 2nd, 1993 and find “suitable accommodations” for its remaining patients. However, chief psychiatrist Dr. Monroe feared the undiscovered, illegal “treatment” of Ravenhill Asylum’s patients would be disclosed by other institutions if they were transferred. Instead, Dr. Monroe ordered the asylum sealed with the remaining patients inside, falsified reports and chained the front doors. Alone, deranged and demented, the patients in Ravenhill Asylum were left to their own devices. Roaming the halls, they amuse themselves with new “experiments”, always looking for their next victim.

Bloodwater Bayou

Urban legend says to avoid the dark, murky waters of Bloodwater Bayou when the sun sets. Passersby have a nasty tendency to go missing while trying to take in the still water at twilight. Deeper legends mention a priestess who walks the backwaters with a bone headdress, a necklace made of fingers and a trail of bloody footsteps.

The priestess was obsessed with the notion that the waters of the bayou must be purified by hypnotizing the innocent with Hoodoo magic and transporting them to an alternate plane of existence. While the plane looks like ours, the shadows are crawling with demons, monsters and sharp teeth waiting to rend you flesh from bone.

The only means of escape for those who fall prey to the priestess falls at the feet of the shifty and powerful Papa Legba, the Speaker of the Dead. An audience with him is your only means of escaping. Only he will determine if you are worthy to return to the world of the living or if you’re better off serving the Bloodwater Bayou forever.

Demon's Revenge

There isn’t much known about the village of Avalon. Scribbles and notes within old journals suggest a location, but the exact whereabouts are unknown. All mentions of Avalon refer to it as an epicenter of blood magic, witchcraft and the occult. Disfigured bones and rune markings litter the woods around the supposed location of Avalon. An official ledger reveals that Avalon’s residents went missing at a brisk pace. Month after month, year after year, the disappearances grew.

The final tale tells of a citizen-led uprising against witchcraft, with all those accused of sorcery being tortured to death for confessions. The tale goes on to say that the souls of those executed then opened a portal to hell unleashing demons upon the village to rip apart the townsfolk one by one. Those who stumble upon the location of the portal to hell are grasped by a dark force, thrust into an alternate reality where the souls of the townsfolk are eternally subjected to the demon’s revenge…

Breach

After the events of last year, the OmniLabs Corporation had to rethink their future. The decision to cease human testing and switch to “lower risk” organics eliminated the need for several safety protocols. Plants, insects, and animals were spliced and “re-engineered” to create several super species. At first, the intent was on improving agricultural output, until OmniLabs signed a lucrative contract with the Department of Defense, and started introducing human DNA. The push for immediate small-scale production of “weapons-grade organic life forms” resulted in cutting nearly every corner and safeguard, and that’s when it all went wrong. Cross-species contamination resulted in mutations across not only plants, animals and insects, but humans as well.

Enter if you dare, but you may never come out! Breach is a unique interactive attraction. Visitors entering Breach will be faced with an important decision: Should you explore OmniLabs and simply watch the action? Or should you “mark” yourself to truly interact with the creatures within? Those who opt-in for a truly interactive experience may be grabbed, held back, sent into hidden rooms, removed from their group or even forced to remain... Choose wisely.
