Zombie City, Louisville

Built on the more than 40-acre site where Pond Station Asylum allegedly burnt to the ground, Asylum Haunted Scream Park remains haunted by tortured spirits of past patients’ and the lingering presence of cult activity. Additional petrifying figures, such as a chainsaw-wielding menace and a crazed butcher, haunt the woods’ mile-long indoor and outdoor displays. Nearby, the military has placed a small rural city under quarantine, after an unknown contagion surfaced and spread throughout the area. Aptly labeled Zombie City: Mutation, reports of mutations and zombies have leaked out of the quarantine zone as residents are urged to remain calm and indoors. The Carnivale of Lost Souls treats those that survive Asylum Haunted Scream Park’s three immersive attractions to free sideshow routines from freaky performers such as a fire-eater, a human pincushion, and a child happily eating vegetables.
