The Cinema of Horrors Haunted House, produced by Treadway Events & Entertainment, has once again transformed the former Three Rivers Mall space into a nightmare-fueled experience filled with live monsters, cinematic sets and Hollywood-quality effects, a news release from the haunted house’s organizers stated.
Running select nights through Nov. 2, this year’s event features four fully-themed haunted attractions, each with its own story and immersive environment. Guests can journey through the twisted halls of Ripper Asylum, wander into the fishing town of Cursed Cove, stumble through the flickering madness of Funhouse Mania 3D, and face the sinister creatures lurking inside Pumpkin Manor.
Every attraction is packed with detailed sets, animatronics, lighting effects and talented scare actors ready to deliver frights up close, according to a news release.
“We design each attraction to feel like you’ve stepped straight into a horror film,” Brandon Treadway, founder and creative director of Treadway Events, said. “Everything — from the scent in the air to the lighting and sound design — is meant to immerse guests completely. This isn’t your average haunted house; it’s a full-scale horror production.”
Since its debut in 2016, the Cinema of Horrors Haunted House has grown from a small, local attraction into one of Washington’s top-rated Halloween destinations, according to the release. The event has been repeatedly recognized by FrightFind as one of the “Top Haunted Attractions in Washington State,” drawing thousands of thrill-seekers from across the region each October.
In addition to its scares, the event embraces community spirit, employing dozens of local actors, makeup artists and production crew members. Many have been part of the team for years, creating a family-like atmosphere behind the screams.
“Our cast and crew pour their hearts into every scream and every scare,” Treadway said. “It’s a passion project that brings people together through creativity and performance.”
Event merchandise and photo opportunities with monsters will be available, with tickets ranging from $24.90 to $40. Limited quantities are available nightly.
VIP tickets include Slash Pass access, allowing guests to jump ahead in line.
