Enter Blackwell Manor

Some Things Should Stay Buried.

Long before anyone called it Blackwell Manor, there was only the well.

The Blackwell family built their home around it, convinced something valuable waited beneath the earth.

They were right.

Whatever came up was never water.

One by one, the family changed. Their skin grew cold, their eyes emptied, and thick black sludge spilled from their mouths as something inside them took control.

The dead were thrown back into the well.

They never stayed dead.

Now Blackwell Manor crawls with what remains of the family—and the sickness is still spreading.

Somewhere inside, the old well is still waiting...
Still collecting...
Still hungry.

From the Mind of Tom Devlin Built by a Professional Monster Maker Practical Monsters. Live Scares. Haunted House + Monster Museum

This Isn't a Warehouse Full of Black Walls.

The Fright Zone comes from the twisted mind of Hollywood special makeup effects artist Tom Devlin.

For more than two decades, Tom has made monsters for the movies. Every October, he unleashes them in Boulder City.

Step inside the decaying halls of Blackwell Manor, where detailed sets, live actors, creatures and practical effects surround you from every direction.

Then continue your night inside Tom Devlin's Monster Museum, packed with screen-used creatures, original monsters and decades of movie makeup history.

Two Attractions. One Night. Only 13 Chances to Enter.

Part Two of the Night

Tom Devlin's Monster Museum

Escaping Blackwell Manor doesn't mean the monsters are finished with you.

Your Fright Zone admission continues inside Tom Devlin's Monster Museum, where decades of movie monsters, practical effects, creatures and screen-used pieces fill the galleries.

Created by Hollywood special effects artist Tom Devlin, the museum is packed with the monsters, movie history and practical effects that inspired The Fright Zone in the first place.

The screams don't stop when you escape the Manor.
