After closing out its 2013 run in Southern California with a record-breaking night for a stand-alone haunted house
event in the United States, Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare--the ultimate Halloween horror event--returns
for its second year and will make its debut at WestWorld Of Scottsdale in the Phoenix, Arizona metro region for select
nights from September 19 - November 1.
The September 19 opening night will feature a special one-night-only concert with groundbreaking musician and
filmmaker Rob Zombie himself.
"The first year was such a blast. I am thrilled to be able to take the Great American Nightmare to a new city
this year," said Zombie. "My only goal is to make it even sicker than last year."
Great American Nightmare is a fully immersive haunted house experience featuring three attractions based on
Rob Zombie’s own horror films: The Lords Of Salem In Total Black Out, Captain Spaulding’s Clown School In
3D and The Devil’s Rejects.
The shocking--and sometimes disturbing--attractions will offer a three-dimensional experience with animatronics and
effects, a maze that is the ultimate definition of claustrophobia and fear, sudden chills and startling thrills, and
salacious humor that will make patrons scream with fright and laughter.
At Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare, patrons will sequentially enter three different attractions:
The Lords Of Salem In Total Black Out: This harrowing attraction--based on Zombie’s 2012 The Lords Of
Salem independent horror film--is designed to twist the mind. It will accentuate some senses while limiting
others. Fear of the darkness, claustrophobia, and fear of the unknown will be preyed on as visitors attempt to
traverse this sixty-degree maze.
Captain Spaulding’s Clown School In 3D: This irreverent school of pure terror is a hallucinogenic trip through
the mind of Captain Spaulding (House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects). Startle after startle will
thoroughly frighten the bravest patrons, who won’t know if they should be laughing, screaming or crying.
The Devil’s Rejects: The murderous, backwoods Firefly family takes to the road to escape a vengeful police
force that isn't afraid of being as ruthless as its target. Guests will become part of the state troopers’ search and
destroy mission against the Firefly family, who are wanted for over 75 homicides and disappearances.
In addition, the Great American Nightmare’s Bloody Boulevard will feature freak shows, musical entertainment,
roaming characters, themed food and beverages, games and vendors each night.

“We’re excited to be bringing Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare to WestWorld of Scottsdale,” says Great
American Nightmare producer Steve Kopelman. He continues, “While we really appreciate the tremendous
support we received in Southern California, we felt it was our responsibility to bring the terror to as many different
people and markets as possible. Great American Nightmare 2014 will build upon the foundation established last
year and promises to be bigger and bloodier.”
Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare will celebrate the Halloween season on the following dates between
September 19 and November 1:
Hours for Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare will be 7:00 PM until midnight (Fridays and Saturdays) and 7:00
