American Nightmare Scream Park is neither for the very young nor the faint of heart.

Currently under construction within towering rows of corn adjacent to the Richardson Adventure Farm, the one-of-a-kind haunt is scheduled to open Thursday, Oct. 2, and to remain open Thursdays through Sundays until closing night Saturday, Nov. 1.

“We will have five different, themed, haunted attractions within the corn maze itself, plus a midway offering live entertainment, food trucks, four axe-throwing lanes, two bars and more,” said Grayslake resident Jason Wright, who is constructing the park, noting that his haunted maze is separate and apart from the nearby, family-friendly Richardson “World’s Largest” Corn Maze."

Both attractions are located on Richardson Farm property and will share an entrance at 909 English Prairie Road in Spring Grove.

Once on the property, though, admission to each is separate. Parking for the American Nightmare Scream Park will be near where the Richardson Tulip Fields are located in the spring. Signs will be posted to direct motorists.

“We’re really excited about this,” Wright said. “I’ve always dreamed of having an outdoor scream park.”

Wright and his 24-year-old son, Tristan, have spent months hiring scare actors and constructing their haunted scream park’s trademark dilapidated facades that exude abandoned-building vibes.

They’ve even reached out to horror film talent agents they know to discuss possible celebrity appearances. So far, booked are horror-film duo Zack Andrews and Bobby Roe, who, among other things, co-wrote and starred in the 2014 film “The Houses October Built,” which Roe also directed. They will be available for pictures and autographs from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at the American Nightmare Scream Park midway.

High-tech imagery is planned for the haunted trail entryway. The Wrights will use projection mapping to transform a blank, barn-shaped façade into a vivid, colorful display similar to the sort of undulating imagery seen on Las Vegas’ Sphere.

Different stops along the haunted trail will include Camp Blood, Circus of Insanity 3D, Nightmare 31, Bloody Acres Estates and Death Rows. The Wrights said it likely will take participants about 30 minutes to walk the entire blood-curdling trail and wind their way through the different structures along the way, each of which will feature multiple rooms.The crew members the Wrights hire don’t hold back on the chills, they cautioned.

“We’re a high-energy, intense haunted attraction,” Jason Wright said. “We’re immersed in the corn. Everything is hidden and jumping out at you from the corn.”
