Scream Acres

Scream Acres in Bishopville, South Carolina, is a premier haunted attraction renowned for its chilling, multi-faceted horror experience, celebrated as one of South Carolina’s top haunts since 1989 for its immersive storytelling and intense scares. Guests embark on a terrifying journey through two distinct haunted houses, starting with a 2,500-square-foot, 19th-century residence—originally a schoolhouse in the 1920s—where eerie corridors and unsettling rooms set the stage, followed by a 2-mile haunted hayride through the eerie woods of terror, complete with custom trailers for comfort. The adventure intensifies as visitors are abandoned in a haunted swamp for a walking trail, navigating dark, fog-laden paths to a second haunted house, with professional actors delivering relentless jump scares as grotesque creatures and iconic horror figures like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. Meticulously crafted sets, enhanced by atmospheric fog, dim lighting, and chilling soundscapes, create a heart-pounding atmosphere, while a no-touch policy, free parking, a souvenir shop, and concessions by Jimco Concessions add to the experience. Scream Acres, praised for its dedicated volunteer cast and charitable contributions, combines high-energy horror with community spirit, making it a must-visit Halloween destination for thrill-seekers.
