Branson, MO — Field of Screams Nixa is opening a new indoor haunted attraction inside Ballparks of America in Branson on Sept. 11. The new operation, Field of Screams Branson, will run roughly 40,000 square feet at launch under a multi-year sublease from Ballparks of America, with a plan to grow to 100,000 square feet over the next few years.
The Branson site is the company’s first indoor attraction. The outdoor Field of Screams Nixa haunt, the operator’s main attraction at 2142 N Sports Complex Lane in Nixa, will continue to run in the fall.
About Field of Screams Branson
The Branson location will occupy the former Red Roof Mall building inside the Ballparks of America campus. The launch attraction is called the 9th Inning Nightmare, a nod to the baseball venue. Owner Derrick Moore told OzarksFirst.com that the sets will be on a cinematic scale to match the larger-than-life vibe of Branson’s other attractions.
“For a long time, we’ve wanted to create something truly special in Branson… something fun, exciting, creative, and honestly a little terrifying,” Moore told the outlet. “We couldn’t have found a better place to do it.”
Moore said he will also be running new entertainment attractions owned by Ballparks of America, including zombie laser tag, glow mini golf, and escape rooms. The 270,000-square-foot Ballparks of America campus will continue to operate normally, including its fall baseball-tournament schedule, with the haunt sharing the property.
Field of Screams Nixa Remains Open
The Branson expansion is in addition to, not in place of, the existing outdoor haunt. The operator told supporters on the company’s official Facebook page that “Field of Screams Nixa is NOT going anywhere” and that the original Nixa haunt is returning for the 2026 season with “new scares, new experiences, and even more nightmares.” Guests can attend either or both locations; the company described them as “two completely different experiences.”
Event dates and ticketing
Field of Screams Branson opens Sept. 11 and runs through the end of October. The schedule is Fridays and Saturdays in September, then Thursdays through Sundays in October. Moore told OzarksFirst.com that a Christmas-Halloween crossover event is also planned later in the year. Ticket pricing has not yet been announced; ticket giveaways and sneak peeks are coming via the new social channels.
