What’s better than a haunted house for fall fun? A whole haunted village, that’s what!
The Village is a brand new attraction, taking place on the grounds of the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
This is an immersive, outdoor experience that promises seasonal scares and plenty of thrills as you walk through the Village streets.
The Village website bills this as an intense experience, with graphic scenes that are recommended for those age 13 and above. There are loud sounds, simulated blood, strobe lights, fog machines, gory scenes, and actors portraying terrifying creatures.
From a press release:
“A quiet community, long since forgotten, has come alive. Centuries ago, the ground this small village was built upon was cursed. It has been home to many unsuspecting residents for decades, unaware of the unspeakable evil that was waiting to awaken.”
