3 Haunted Houses
Ghostship, located at The Port
Drifting in the sea, this phantom ship has no living crew members aboard. You are commanded to board the ship to take what you can such as loot and rations and to look for survivors, which of course, there are none. Below deck are pirates suffering from Botulism and starvation who were left for dead and are waiting to use you as a ration. Here is where you first meet Captain Killigrew, the most feared female pirate in history who became known for her brutality. Like her crew, she is going mad from Scurvy and starvation. Rotted chunks of flesh from the pirates are strewn about in the waters below.
Murder Island, located at The Glades
Home to Bloody (Ed) Watson and his group of pre-historic, man-eating creatures and derelicts. Murder Island takes place in the early 1900’s in The Glades. Bloody Watson, a sugar cane farmer, hired transient labor, but instead of paying them at the end of the work day, he would drop them off on Murder Island where they would never be seen again.
Vodou, located at The Village
Here’s an area that is under the spell of the Vodou Priestess and Lwa spirits and is home to the underworld of Vilokan. You will also find Mambo Cecile residing here. She is just waiting to steal your soul.
The Deep Dive
Exclusive to Dark Horizon is the Deep Dive, an enhanced (no charge) horror experience, offered on a first come, first serve basis. If you agree to the Deep Dive then the monsters will take particular notice of you. They will separate you from your guests and maybe even send you into secret areas alone.
