Fright Nights
This year’s fright fest at Winchester Mystery House takes a deep dive into the lore surrounding Sarah Winchester’s San Jose estate, where Festival Fright Nights are set to be held Sept. 26-Nov. 1.
This all-new event, produced in partnership with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, will debut three main haunted attractions with new paths and access to never-before-used spaces, along with theatrical experiences and themed food and beverage offerings.
In “The Masquerade of Shadows,” a 1924 Halloween ball spirals into supernatural terror when an ancient portal unleashes vengeful spirits. The nightmare deepens in “The Root of All Evil,” where the mansion’s gardens turn deadly. The journey ends with “The Final Descent”, a forbidden wing where seances are held, Sarah’s lingering shadow haunts the halls, and the basement becomes a battleground between the living and the dead.
“With Festival Fright Nights, Thirteenth Floor is bringing the mansion’s history and legend to life in an entirely new way, transforming its haunted halls into a stage where guests step directly into its secrets and spirit,” Ashley Hill, general manager of Festival Fright Nights, said in a release.
Add-ons include axe throwing, hidden speakeasies and immersive experiences like the Maestro’s Masquerade Ball, a flashlight tour of the basement and a séance with Harry Houdini.
Tickets start at $54.99 at festivalfrightnights.com. The Winchester Mystery House is located at 525 S Winchester Blvd, San Jose.
