Cincinnati, OH \u2013<\/strong> You know the legend. You\u2019ve heard the screams. But this year, The Dent Schoolhouse<\/em> is taking terror to an entirely new level\u2014and trust us, class is very much in session\u2026 29 years and counting!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since January, the twisted minds behind Cincinnati\u2019s nationally recognized haunted attraction have been working non-stop, tearing into old scenes and rebuilding from the ground up. If you thought you\u2019d seen it all, think again. The schoolhouse has cracked open its creepy curriculum to unveil brand-new nightmares<\/strong>, including some sinister surprises you won\u2019t see coming.<\/p>\n

First up\u2014lunch is served<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not mystery meat anymore… it\u2019s downright horrifying. Guests will get a behind-the-scenes look at the school’s newly uncovered industrial meat processing facility<\/em>. Ever wonder where the cafeteria food really<\/em> comes from? This year, you\u2019ll find out\u2014and you might wish you hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dr. Dent\u2019s lab<\/strong> has gotten a monstrous upgrade. A new area has been unlocked, and the boundaries of his grotesque experiments have expanded. As if that\u2019s not chilling enough, the seller<\/strong> beneath the school has finally been opened to guests… but be warned: the killer is right above you.<\/strong> One wrong move and you might be next on the dissecting table.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just what\u2019s inside that\u2019s new. The Monster Midway<\/strong>\u2014a fan-favorite outside entertainment zone\u2014has received a fresh coat of paint, upgraded lighting, and some heavy-duty maintenance to make sure your haunt night starts with screams and ends with even more screams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So mark your calendars\u2014The Dent Schoolhouse opens September 12th and runs through November 8th, 2025<\/strong>. If you thought last year was horrific, this year is pure nightmare fuel.\u00a0 And yes, A Christmas Nightmare is coming back this December as well!<\/p>\n

Class is back in session\u2026 and it\u2019s a killer semester.<\/strong><\/p>\n
