Retribution {1993}
Retribution is Nightmare Realm's main fan favorite storyline. Each year the story advances another chapter and this year for Chapter 2: Subjugation, we have turned up the intensity to insane levels. Retribution runs every Friday and Saturday starting October 4th, through October 25th from 7:30pm-10:30pm.
The town of Cypress Hollow is dying - and Trista is the reason why. Once a lost soul, now something far worse. After being murdered by the local bullies, she's tom her way back from beyond, dragging the grotes que Creatures of the Realm with her through the portal, The Feast had begun and one by one, the townspeople. were hunted, drained of their life force, and marked by Trista's cursed spiral touch— resurrected as hollow-eyed monstrosities, twisted parodies of who they used to be. When Trista slaughtered her own mother, the last fragile thread tying her to humanity was severed. Now, with the town in chaos and terror seeping into every crack, the Extinction Event Resistance Agency (EERA) has arrived. Trista is in their crosshairs — and they re preparing for war.
This fall, Nightmare Realm invites you to enter Cypress Hollow and witness the carnage firsthand while you Experience RETRIBUTION. You'll walk its bloodied streets, face the horrors lurking in its shadows, and uncover the truth behind the rising darkness of the Spiral. But beware... once you step inside, the Creatures will see you,— and they will never forget.
The Hollowed
The Hollowed is a new event at Nightmare Realm that takes a SURVIVAL GAME and mixes it with Haunted Attractions. Once within the attraction guests will attempt to make it through the streets of Cypress Hollow WITHOUT getting BIT (Stickered) by one of our Creatures. This version of our show will have more areas of tension build up with less actors to make you feel like you are in a zombie film, increasing the intensity, trying to survive the apocalypse Cypress Hollow style. If you are attacked by a zombie they will not touch you (only put a sticker on you if they can). You are able to dodge their advances but you MUST NOT RUN! They will not chase after you! If you make it out without a sticker on you, congratulations, you survived. If you get BIT though, beware the EERA are also roaming the streets on the lookout for FRESH zombies and now you're one of them! Fun for families and all ages alike, this game takes the idea of survival and puts a horrifying twist to it. So visit Cypress Hollow and see if you become one of the HOLLOWED!

Whispering Shadows: A Sensory Friendly Scare Series
The Whispering Shadows: Sensory Friendly Scare Series was born out of our dedication to bringing our brand of horror to more fans, who may have a hard time viewing our full shows for one reason or another. During these shows the Attraction will have minimal actors, and the ones we will have will be dedicated to being more of a guide in the areas they are in. They will still be in character and assist with storyline but they will not be actively trying to scare the guests. Additionally all the strobe lights will be turned off and the animatronic audio will be turned lower but still be active to help see the fullness of our show. This is a great experience for anyone who found it too difficult to make their way through with our intense creatures in their faces, or for those who have conditions that make sensory overload a bit debilitating, but still love Halloween and Horror! During these nights we will also have the show creators Charles Brandt and Tammy Bodzianowski available to answer any questions on the midway. Whispering Shadows: Retribution {1993} - October 30th (Devil's Night), 8-10pm - This is the telling of the current main story at Nightmare Realm. The show will walk you through the life and demise of Trista, and then her rise to power with the Creatures of the Realm.
