What is the benefit to buying tickets online?  You will save time at the attraction.  The longest lines are to buy tickets.  Once you purchase online you go straight into the line to enter skipping the ticketing line.  We can show your ticket from your phone or printed ticket.  Do not wait in ticketing line.  There are two kinds of tickets ANY NIGHT ticket and TIMED ticket.   We also sell IMMEDIATE ACCESS Tickets - Show up Go in!   HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T MIND WAITING IN A LINE TO BUY TICKETS IF YOU USE CASH YOU SAVE WE CHARGE NO TAX AND THERE ARE NO SERVICE FEES.  

  

What is the difference between Timed Tickets and Any Night Ticket?  Our haunted houses have changed over to TIMED TICKETS.  This means that when buying your ticket online you pick a time and date you want to get in line at the haunt.  Timed ticket method will help keep lines SHORTER!  Tickets are cheaper if you buy a TIMED TICKET.  However if you want to buy an online ticket you can also choose the ANY NIGHT OPTION which means... you can use that ticket to get in line any night during the Halloween 2022 season.  Any night tickets are $5.00 extra.  We prefer guests buy the cheaper TIMED TICKET.

If I buy a timed ticket does that mean I go into the haunted house at the set time?  NO!  This only means you can get in line at your set time.  Timed ticketing will help manage the crowds at the haunted house but we'll still have lines however you won't wait as long.  You can upgrade your ticket to a FAST PASS which speeds up your wait however make no mistake if the mass majority of guests purchase timed tickets wait times will decrease. 



Can we bring our guns or any kind of weapon? NO!  And we have metal detectors.  Keep them in your trunk do NOT bring weapons of any kind into our haunts.  

When will I receive my tickets? If you order online, you will print your tickets from home immediately after completing your order purchase.  If you buy them at our ticket window box office, you will be given tickets at that time.  WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BUY ONLINE! 

 



Can we Visit Just the Jack O Lantern Event at Creepyworld without a ticket to the haunt?   Yes any night Creepyworld is open! 


 

Do we need to buy a ticket to Darkness to visit the Horror Retail Store?   The answer is NO.  Come to the retail store any time the Darkness is open by walking to the back of the building and up the stairs.  

Do we pay to park? We do not charge for parking at Darkness.  You can park anywhere in Soulard public parking areas.  Lemp has a massive gated parking lot.  Parking at Creepyworld is $5.00 to cover cost of staff.   Additionally make sure you leave valuables at home.  DO NOT LEAVE valuables in the front seat of your car.

Can we Book your event for a Private Party:  Great question because yes you can.  There are two ways to do this.  Darkness can host one private party per day complete with fast passes to the haunts, use of our horror party room, free pinball, 5 minute escape, photo ops and so much more.  Learn more about this CLICK HERE.   Additionally any of the three haunts Darkness, Creepyworld, Lemp plus St Louis Escape can be totally booked out on days we're not open to the public.  In other words if Creepyworld isn't open on a Tuesday and you have a group of several hundred we can open just for your company.  Email us here for details:  info@scarefest.com

Are your attractions open if it rains?  Absolutely!  The Darkness is located inside a huge warehouse with indoor queue lines to keep people out of the rain. Lemp is totally indoors and also has an indoor que line. The CreepyWorld attraction is partially indoors and partially outdoors with a massive covered waiting area.  Creepyworld may close on weekdays if it rains. Any change in plans are posted on the front page blog, facebook or instagram.  FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @scarefest 




 
Are your attractions handicap accessible?  They are NOT handicap accessible.  The crowds can limit the accessibility and safety of handicapped individuals, so it is NOT recommended.   Creepyworld is very difficult for handicapped individuals because or the outdoor terrain and the outdoor nature of the attraction.  Unwanted wear and tear can and will result on wheelchairs and/or other assisting devices, and therefore not recommended.  If you have a broken leg or other prior injuries or prior medical conditions, you should not enter the attractions.  THE DARKNESS is by far the most accessible however its an old building you have to go up several steps, there is an elevator that can take you to the second floor however the Darkness features uneven and tilting floors, tight corners, and other obstacles.  We can however arrange for PRIVATE TOURS for wheelchair guests to see the haunted houses.  Understand with hundreds of people in the attractions, and very difficult situations it creates a very tough situation for anyone in a wheelchair.   WE DO NOT SUGGEST you bring guests in wheelchairs.  Again if you want to make special arrangements we'd be happy to escort wheelchair customers thru in non-operational hours at Darkness only.  Lemp is underground you would need to take an elevator down and then backtrack to the start.  

How long does it take to go through? It depends on how fast you travel through the maze. The Darkness has many visuals and a long, dark confusing maze.  Creepy World features 13 different haunted attractions so it will take the longest.  We suggest you take your time for maximum fun and excitement to ensure you see everything available.  Est. Time:  Darkness 30 to 60 minutes.  Creepyworld 60 to 90 minutes.  Estimated time may or may not include wait times. Lemp has been totally renovated and is now longer than ever before.  Lemp takes about 20 to 30 minutes. 
 

What's the main difference between each place and which one is the best?  The Darkness has over 200 animations and awesome scenes and sets.  CreepyWorld features 13 haunted attractions for one price including a hayride and a midway.   Lemp is undergound in real caves and was totally renovated. But a combo ticket and go to all attractions its cheaper. 

The Darkness is by far the best in detail, set design, animations and more.  Creepyworld is the longest and largest with the most attractions; plus it's outside which gives you a different and very authentic haunt experience.  Lemp is the scariest location.  You can save money by purchasing a combo pass which allows you to visit both attractions at your convenience any night(s) throughout the season.    

Do your attractions have security? YES!  We hire local Police. 

Can we be thrown out of the park for any reason?  Yes.  We do not allow foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons of any kind, smoking, drugs, alcohol, etc.  We have a list of rules that must be adhered to for your own safety and the safety of the other guests.  Violation of these rules will usually bring a warning.  However, you may be asked to leave.  It is in your best interest to behave accordingly, as there are no refunds. 

 Is the haunted houses safe?  We've never had any serious injuries at any of our attractions in nearly 30 years of operation. Running is the main cause of minor injuries.  Make sure to follow the rules, specifically don’t run. Follow all the rules and do not stray from the main paths.  YOU MUST READ the WARNING page before you enter the attractions.  The WARNING signs are also displayed at each attraction.  DO NOT ATTEND if you have medical conditions that might cause you an injury... DO NOT enter our attractions if you are prone to seizers or if you have ANY kind of respiratory conditions, especially asthma, heart conditions.  Do not enter if you have broken bones, casts or are pregnant.  Again, you must read and understand our warning signs before considering entry into our events.  Almost all injuries that do occur are a result from the customer running and they run into one of our actors, a wall, or run and fall down. DO NOT RUN!  Also DO NOT TOUCH props this may also result in an injury.  DO NOT RUN UP AND DOWN STAIRS.  But above all do NOT attend our attractions if you suffer from various different pre-existing medical conditions.  Enter at own risk.  Not responsible for any injury. NO RUNNING and  be careful where you walk to avoid tripping or falls.

Can we take flash photos of your haunted houses?  Yes and No.  Haunted houses are dark and everyone, especially the actors, get adjusted to the low light.  When you flash your camera, you're not only ruining other customers' experience but your hurting the actors'/customers’ eyes.  HOWEVER you're allowed to take any photos or videos without a flash.  Our que lines have several monsters who will take pictures with you.  You can take all the photos you want inside the haunted houses without a FLASH!  Outside the haunted houses we have photo ops set up and you're free to use your flash.

Will the actors touch us?  No. Our actors are trained not to touch any customer for any reason.  You will not be grabbed or touched by any actors unless it's by accident, which does happen.  We also ask that you DO NOT touch our actors or any staff members as well as the props and sets. Warning it's possible one of our actors might touch you or another customer might touch you.  You're taking that risk upon entry.  If you feel you have been touched without consent please inform our management.  

Can we drop off our kids and pick them up later?    The Darkness and Lemp are located next door to two major apartment complex. If parents drop off kids at Darkness or Lemp they must pick up their kids immediately upon exiting the haunted house.  PLEASE ASK YOUR KIDS TO TEXT YOU JUST AS THEY'RE ENTERING the haunted house so you can head towards the haunt for pick up.  The Darkness and Lemp are near where people LIVE and we're NOT allowed to have teenagers gathered around the buildings.  Please pick up your kids upon exiting the attractions.

We sell everything from glow sticks to food to t-shirts and hoodie.  The Darkness features a massive retail store which features mugs, puzzles, t-shirts, jackets to horror movie stuff and everything between.  The store is operated at the exit of The Darkness.  Creepyworld has food trucks and sells donuts. 

What time does the haunted house usually open?  On October weekends we try to open as early as 6pm to 7pm.  On weekdays we open later and in September we open later, simply because it's still light outside.  Please refer to the times and dates page of our website.

Are our cars safe in your parking lot?  We have had cars broken into like any other place in America.  We have NEVER had a car stolen, or broken into where someone didn't leave a purse or something very valuable in the front seat.  In almost every case a car has been broken into someone has left a purse in the front seat.  When attending our attractions DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES leave ANYTHING valuable in your car.  Please do NOT bring anything with you or put everything in your trunk.  We have parking lot attendants at Creepyworld and at Darkness.   We do watch the cars as best we can.  At Darkness you park all throughout Soulard and we supply a Police officer who drives around watching cars.  DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR!  We are NOT responsible for any lost valuables or if your car is broken into. 

How old does a child need to be and or is it okay for younger kids?  We have no age restrictions so long as the child is (a) accompanied by adult supervision, and (b) wants to go through on his/her own will with no one forcing him/her through.  All kids are different.  If you think your children will enjoy the scares, then bring them down.  Please use appropriate judgment, and remember there are no refunds.  

Do your haunts have additional attractions?   YES we do.  The Darkness has St Louis Escape Rooms, Retro Mini Golf, Horror Arcade, and a 5 Minute Escape Rooms.  Creepyworld has a haunted midway with games and escapes and a massive haunted hayride.  Creepyworld now features the Jack O Lantern Spooktackular attraction.

Can you tell me about St. Louis’ hotels and attractions?  Yes visit our LOCAL ATTRACTIONS TOURIST page of the website for helpful information.  VISIT THIS PAGE TO LEARN ABOUT HOTELS AND OTHER TOURIST ATTACKS CLICK HERE 

We are from the media and need to contact you about stories or articles.  Contact us at info@scarefest.com   You also can visit www.explorestlouis.com to plan a great getaway to St. Louis.  We have also listed over 100 other things to do in St. Louis on our Tourist page. CLICK HERE 

 

Can I get more information about Scarefest group tickets and St. Louis travel information via e-mail?  Yes, just send an e-mail to info@scarefest.com with “Scarefest” in the header. Include your e-mail address and any pertinent information about media requests.

Could we be filmed while inside your haunted houses?   YES, we make videos all the time for the promotion of our haunted houses.  Additionally we have a security system that films everything.  Lastly we are also on national TV shows all the time so yes you can be filmed.  By entering the haunted houses are you agreeing to allow your image to be used.  FOR PRIVATE TOURS email us. 



How far apart are Creepyworld and Darkness or Darkness and Lemp And Should we buy combo tickets?   The most common question actually is can we make both (Darkness, Lemp and Creepyworld) attractions in the same night.  Yes you can these attractions are only 16 miles apart roughly or about 15 to 20 minutes.  Lemp and Darkness are about 1 mile apart.  If you want to make all three attractions in the same night we strongly advice to arrive at Creepyworld first and show up when we open because darkness and lemp are only 1 mile apart. Otherwise if you buy a combo ticket you can use the tickets on different nights or any night you want.  

Do we give refunds?  No we do not.  You can however gift your tickets to anyone you want.  In other words if you can't make it then simply give the tickets to someone you know.  You're allowed to transfer tickets to someone else. 

Can we Wear Costumes or Masks:  NO!  We can't have our customers thinking you're one of our staff.  No costumes and no masks allowed into the attractions.    YOU CAN WEAR FACE MASKS for COVID. 



Are Animals allowed into attractions?  NO!  

Are there any restrictions to go into your mazes?  YES!  Are you medically sensitive to fog?  Don't come!  We use strobe lights!  Do you have a fear of enclosed spaces?  Are you an expectant mother?  Do you have any type of heart condition, abnormal blood pressure, sensitive to loud noises, sudden movement, heart conditions, broken bones, or simply not physically fit?  DO NOT ATTEND our attraction.  You enter at your own risk!  Not responsible for any injury.   If you've had a fever, flu or covid 19 do NOT attend.  

How Does the Fast Pass Work:  Let's start with Darkness.  A fast pass gets you to the front of the outdoor line not the indoor line.  The indoor que line of The Darkness is all-new and is part of the attraction experience now.  At Creepyworld the fast pass only gains you access to the front of the main first attraction which is by far the longest.  Fast passes will save you up to one hour of time.  Lemp you skip the outside main line.  



How Does Immediate Access Tickets Work?   This is different than a speed pass.  Even if you buy a speed pass ticket you must wait in the speed pass line.  Speed pass lines are a lot faster than general admission.  However with an Immediate Access ticket you go STRAIGHT IN THE ATTRACTION.  Just drive up, park and present your ticket and boom we put you right inside the door.  Keep in mind at The Darkness there is a very SHORT indoor que line you will not bypass... this is part of the show.  At Creepyworld there are multiple lines in front of different attraction you do NOT bypass those lines.  However most of those lines are short the front line is the longest wait.  At Lemp you are taken straight into the attraction no waiting at all. 

What are the Best Nights to Visit?  WOW SOMEONE actually asked this question?  We have a great answer... please visit our attractions any night in September or November or weekdays Sunday thru Thursday.  The first weekend in October isn't very busy either.  Many people think Halloween would be slammed but its NOT!  So in short come any weekend in November or September, first weekend in October or any weeknight.  If you come any of these nights we put guests thru SLOWER and wait times are much shorter.  PLEASE come on these nights.

What is Dynamic Pricing?   Great question.  We offer cheaper tickets prices for different dates however our busiest days might go up in price.  Take advantage of the dates when prices are the cheapest.  Visit our haunts any nights in September or November or weekdays in October.  You can only use coupons at the box office.

Do you change the attractions from one year to the next?   YES!  We spend MILLIONS of dollars to make our attractions the best in the country.  Each year The Darkness is renovated from the end of Halloween until a national Haunt convention here in St Louis.  Creepyworld is typically renovated during the summer while Lemp was renovated this year in March.  St Louis Escape usually adds one new escape room per year.  This year The Darkness features all-new scenes and a new serial killer mini escape room.  Creepyworld features two all new haunted houses in 2023 including the Slaughterhouse.  Lemp was totally renovated for its 30th year of fear with new animations.  



What is the difference between your attractions and say other haunts or Six Flags?  Another great question.  There is no comparison between other local haunts and Darkness, Lemp or Creepyworld.  Amusement Park haunts from our perspective have very basic haunt mazes, with a bigger focus on their rides.  Other local attractions are more than likely very low budget. The Darkness, Lemp and Creepyworld are considered three of the best 25 haunted attractions in the entire WORLD!  The Darkness by most haunted attraction industry experts is listed as the #1 haunted house in the America.  Haunt owners, Amusement Park operators from AROUND the WORLD have visited our attractions.  Our company has also built haunted houses for nearly every theme park in America.  Trust us there is no comparison!  LOL

Frequently Asked Questions about Escape Rooms

Escape Rooms 

 

Q:  Do we really get locked in a room. 

A:  Yes but the entrance of the escape rooms is ALWAYS unlocked so if you must exit you simply come right back out the way you came in.  The goal of the game is to proceed forward by escaping each room to the final door.  If you get out of the escape room before 60 minutes you win.

Q:  Why are our escape rooms the best in St Louis. 

A:  Easy one.  All other escape rooms in St Louis are poorly detailed, typically are just one single room, no electronic puzzles or special FX.  Most if not ALL of the local escape rooms offer a theme but the rooms themselves do not give you the impact of that theme.  When you visit our rooms they are filled with amazing detail, special FX, complicated puzzles and much more.  Our escape rooms have been toured by escape room owners across the nation and we've been quoted as the best escape rooms in America.  Our company not only operates escape rooms here in St Louis but builds them across the World for clients everywhere.  Trust us there is NO comparison between OUR escape rooms and ANY of the others in the market.

A:  The themes of our escape rooms are Cellar escape, Pirate escape, Jurassic Island, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dracula and Hotel.  Frankenstein nothing scary happens but has scary props.  Wonderful Wizard of Oz is based on the book not scary but very high tech. The Cellar escape features a serial killer theme and although there are some dead bodies inside there are no actors and nothing that jumps out at you.  Dracula has a few scares but nothing overwhelming. We do not feel its scary but out of the three the cellar is the scariest.  The Haunted Hotel is full of ghosts and special effects but its not scary.

Q:  Where is the entrance?  Where do we park?

A:  Good question... do you know where The Darkness is located?  The Darkness is actually in building 1525 South 8th Street and St Louis Escape is located in the attached building at 1517.  So to be exact its the building next door to The Darkness.  You simply look for the door with the Escape St Louis sign on it... open it and GO UPSTAIRS!  


Q:  Are your attractions handicapped accessible?

A:  Great question.  The entire attraction is on a second floor so not easy to get to for anyone in a wheelchair.   However if you don't mind going up a couple steps to get inside the building we have an elevator that will take you to the second floor.  You have to go thru the Darkness and from there we'll take you to the second floor and then into the escape rooms.  Its not very hard if you don't mind a few steps.  The games themselves are another story.  The Cellar escape is totally accessible with the exception of one small part you would have to bypass.  We have created a bypass for handicap.  You could NOT enter the secret hallway which you must crawl into... wheelchair guests would only miss a small part.  

Q:  Do we need any special puzzle solving skills to play your games?

A:  NOPE!  You just have to be willing to work as a team to solve puzzles, find things through out the rooms and keep moving in the right direction.  Your game master will also help you if you really need it.

Q:  What if we show up late?

A:  We ask all of our guests to arrive 15 minutes early.  We will do our best to get you into the game if you show up late however remember the games start right on time with no refunds. 

Q:  Do you have any tips for playing the games?

A:  Yes!!!   Not everything is a clue and some items may seem to be clues but are not.  Work as a team.  Bring paper and a pen so you can write down notes.  All of our escape rooms consists of three to five rooms each.  In other words almost all other escape rooms are simply one big room, where as our rooms have several you break into and discover.  One clue here is that you may get to the end but need to locate something back in the first room to escape.  In other words just because you've escaped the first room doesn't mean you may or may not need to back track to crack the room.

No climbing every clue is within standing reach.  Be gentle nothing requires brute force. 

Q:  DO you have lockers inside to lock up our valuables?  YES WE DO!  You can lock up your purses, phones and more. 

Q:  Do you change your escape rooms?   YES in fact we just finished a total renovation of the Mummy and Cellar recently.  Always adding new puzzles, twists and turns. 

Ticket Prices are $30.00 Per Person:  Teams consist of 4-12 people.  If less than 4 people are booked additional players may be added to your group.  To ensure you reserve the room all to yourself book at least 8 spots.  You must book 90 minutes in advance.  For larger groups, parties, corporate events please email us at info@stlouisescape.com
