Bonnie Screams! Haunted Ghost Town Opens

Friday October 3, 2008
Beyond the bright lights of Las Vegas hides a dark and demented town of the dead… Bonnie Screams!

This is not just another haunted house, but a 1/4 mile-long creepy 1800's Haunted Ghost Town. This is as real as it gets -- just ask the towns' creepy residents that roam the streets.

Bonnie Screams! boasts three haunted houses, haunted trails, a saloon (21+ only), restaurant, mote, haunted train, midway games, Carnival of Screams, a nightly magic shows, live bands, street performers, celebrity appearances, shopping and food. Basically, there's something for everyone!

General admission is $20 and proceeds benefit Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Olive Crest. VIP 3-D passes are an addition $10 each.

Bonnie Screams! will be in operation October 10th to 12th; October 17th to 19th; and October 21st until November 2nd. Doors are open from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight. Safe Street trick-or-treating will take place October 31st from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Bonnie Springs is located in Red Rock Canyon -- click here for a map and driving directions.

I went out to Bonnie Springs this weekend and it was awesome! There are about five different haunts along with just the ghost town itself! Michael’s Manor and the Clown Asylum were my favorite.

This is the most amatuerish, lame, half-assed haunted attraction I have ever been to! We paid $50 for two of us to get in, and it was totally pathetic. They spent about $100 bucks on props, had about 20 actors total and their “5 haunted houses” are actually 2 very short, very lame haunted houses along with one single room that you just walk into and some lady blathers on about the history of Bonnie Springs. Another supposed haunted attraction is a “haunted trail” that just takes you back to the parking lot! There were a whopping 2 actors that jumped out at us on that trail (the same two that jump out at the train on the way up). Don’t waste your time or money, it’s a total rip off!!

A group of 10 of us just went here and we had a blast! Right when we walked in there were people scaring us, and along with the haunts there were fire breathers, a magic show (which I totally recommend) and a psychic. To get all of this for only $20 is totally worth it. Especially considering I paid more at Monster Mayhem where I only walked through 3 trailers. Much better to have a town instead.

This is worth the drive. I live in Henderson but thought I’d check this place out. Some of my buddies and me went and it was off the hook. There were people dressed up all over running at us and the wicked trail was the favorite. The slaughter haunt is kind of short but there is so much else it didn’t matter. I don’t know what night Lance went but the trail on the way out had more than 2 people. There were two dudes with chainsaws and a couple other further down. Definitely a good time.

I know I’m a total chicken, but I was freaked out right when I walked in…the people got us right away! The first stop, when they tell about Bonnie Screams is alright, but it was the three haunts I liked best. And, OMG, the magic show is a must. There were paranormals out there talking about the ghosts there…they’ve actually seen some in their pictures! It’s creepy, fun and you get a lot for only $20!

We had a really good time - it was a short distance and only $ 20.00 - I think the haunted train ride was a waste of $ 5.00 but, The Magic show and the haunts were fun. The best part was the kid with the chainsaw - he got us twice! I look forward to seeing what they additions join them next year.
