For $15, today's side deal allows you to experience homemade terror with one VIP ticket to Fear Overload Premier Haunted House, located in the Bayfair Mall in San Leandro (up to a $30.95 value). This ticket grants you admission to two Fear Overload Haunted Houses in the same visit, front-of-the-line access to bypass long lines, and one complimentary glow-stick necklace to guide the way through both haunted areas. This Groupon must be redeemed on one of the following dates: October 8–10, 14, 17, 21, or 25–27.

Fear is the secret to happy marriages and lasting friendships, and the final ingredient in numerous madman-created serums. With more than 27 years of combined experience, the lead design team at Fear Overload creates realistic, highly detailed props and unsettling settings to lay the groundwork for each terrifying tour. With no tour guide to lead the way, each small group of two to six participants navigates a labyrinth of darkened hallways and nightmarish tableaus chock-full of crazed clowns, murderous inmates, and undomesticated zombies. It's perfect for aspiring actors or auctioneers searching for an acceptable place to practice blood-curdling screams.
