The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, has announced a brand new Halloween experience for the fall of this year called “Festival Fright Nights“.

“FESTIVAL FRIGHT NIGHTS” AT WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE

Two years ago, their Halloween experience featured two mazes inside the house they called “Unhinged: Housewarming”. Last year, “Unhinged: Hotel” featured one long maze throughout the property. Now this year, “Festival Fright Nights” will activate the entire property like never before, giving guests who dare enter the property a completely new experience that will take them all over the house and the grounds.

THE STORY

It’s Halloween night, 1924. Two years have passed since the death of the enigmatic Sarah Winchester. Her labyrinthine estate, Llanada Villa, has sat silent, its secrets buried beneath layers of dust. But now, under new ownership, the mansion’s doors are set to reopen.

The mysterious host, a charming out-of-towner with a flair for the theatrical, invites the public to a grand 1920s Halloween Masquerade Ball, promising a night of costumes, glamour, music, and revelations… He claims to have opened a spiritual portal, a window into the past that will finally reveal why Sarah Winchester built her endless house of secrets. But the house remembers. Has he uncovered a truth long buried, or invited something unspeakable into our world?
