Scaremare

Lynchburg, VA

A long-running Liberty University haunt in Lynchburg pairing house-of-death scares with a gospel-themed message, geared to teens and adults.

Each October Scaremare draws Lynchburg crowds through scenes of staged death and darkness before delivering its closing message. Metal detectors and a no-bags policy underscore the scale; the scares are aimed squarely at teens and adults. A regional tradition decades in the making.
