Apply for Media Night at Castle of Chaos

An invite-only night of scares, before we open our doors to the public. September 25, 2026 · 5–7 PM

Once a year, before the Castle opens for the season, we invite a small group of media and content creators in for an exclusive first look — full access to the haunt, a live stage show, food trucks, and every actor and scare we've built for 2026. Spots are limited and by application only. Tell us a bit about yourself below, and we'll follow up within one week.

One Night. Full Access.

Walk the entire haunt, catch our live stage show, meet the actors behind the scares, and grab a bite from our food trucks — all before the public ever sets foot inside.
