This summer we've been hard at work on a MASSIVE new project! For now, here's a little sneak peek at what we're cooking up 😉 The Statesville Haunted Prison clowns are making friends with their new roommates!

HellsGate Heads to Transworld For Our Newest Build

At HellsGate Haunted House, we’re always striving to expand our story, create even more immersive scenes, and unforgettable scares. That’s why we’re excited to show you what we've been cooking up for this coming season. This new space has already been under construction, and we've said goodbye to a couple rooms to make it happen. If you've enjoyed our recent expansions from past years, you haven't seen nothing yet! 

We’ll be attending the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show to shop for new props and materials for our brand new build. We’re heading there with one goal in mind: to make this room unlike anything you’ve ever experienced at HellsGate.

We can’t wait to connect with fellow haunters and explore what this year's Transworld has to offer! Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes sneak peeks of the newest build. 

The Darkness is evolving… and it’s waiting for you.

Days of the Living Dead Season 2022, Episode 4

Perhaps the biggest question facing the Zombie Army in 2022: How do you take characters from a psychotic haunted prison theme and make them work in a wildly different environment?

The answer? Talent & creativity. Watch key members of the Statesville cast talk about how they've updated and adapted their signature characters to become a part of HellsGate Haunted House and, in the process, learn just how much thought and planning goes into a Zombie Army haunt character!

Days of the Living Dead Season 2022, Episode 3

For years the Darkness in HellsGate Haunted House has lurked and spread, quietly infecting everything and everybody it touches.

Watch as John, Anthony and the Zombie Army Crew creatively repurpose props and elements from Statesville Haunted Prison to create something entirely new, and squishy, and drippy... and horrifying!

A HellsGate Origin Story, Chapter 1: The Darkness Reaches Back

"Every story has a beginning."- Captain Moorstone

The first chapter of a Darkness that should not have been unleashed. Darkness that grew in a man consumed by grief and driven to madness. Darkness that now threatens to devour all who enter, and perhaps even the house itself!

Days of the Living Dead | Season 2019 Episode 2 | Mystery Soup: "Building" HellsGate

The pressure is on right out of the gate in 2019 as HellsGate Haunted House prepares to be the headliner of the Midwest Haunters Convention 2019 Haunted House Tour... in June! With only a few months to execute the seasonal build so it's ready for the tour, and with a MASSIVE number of props on hand thanks to a prop company's Going Out of Business Sale, John changes up his approach. Instead of conceiving rooms and buying the props to bring them to life, it becomes like a cooking show - take all these ingredients and turn them into something amazing! Top it all off with finishing touches from TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show and HellsGate's dressed to impress at MHC and during the upcoming Halloween Season! #MysterySoup2019

Days of the Living Dead Season 2018, Ep 05: How to Make Darkness

The core premise of HellsGate Haunted House is that it's been infected by evil, literally represented throughout the house as "Darkness". In this episode the Zombie Army's Johanna and Anthony will teach you the practical ways in which that Darkness is created. Watch as they show you how to "infect" an actor, a prop or an entire room with the slimy black stuff. Mmhmm. Slimy black Darkness.
