Also new this year is ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE, the one-of-a-kind, custom-built escape room you won’t find anywhere else. For just $5 per person, teams of four are locked into a 250-square foot art gallery only to discover the gallery curator is infected with a virus. Players must then complete four puzzles in six minutes (including a “Mission Impossible”-style laser maneuver) to escape with the cure that will prevent the zombie apocalypse.
Originally started in 1978, this season marks Nightmare on Edgewood’s 40th year in operation. Kevin & Paul Cook (brothers & co-owners) acquired the haunt in 2009 and continue to uphold its reputation as Indy’s Most Intense Haunted House. Nearly 50 volunteer actors occupy the halls of Nightmare on Edgewood each season, many of whom have parents and grandparents who remember working at Nightmare on Edgewood in their youth. An additional 12-15 staff (including volunteers from the Greenwood Fire Department) assist with parking, ticket sales and general maintenance & management of the haunt. Email Haunt Owner

Review This HauntEmail Verified Best haunted house experience by far
When I saw the wait, I was a little off-put. However, the haunters entertained us and the time flew by! The haunting experience was incredible - the use of amazing animatronics, stunning and special effects makeup. We went on a lights out night and were blown away at the respect and professionalism of the haunters. Though they were able to touch us, it was always was respectful never harmful, just more "scary". This was a big problem at other haunted houses with some scarers being too rough. The actors were amazing at their job, interacting with us personally and helping us get through when we couldn't find the next door (the lack of light definitely made it a little harder!). They even took our glow stick at one point and made us fetch, haha! The highlight was definitely a scarer picking our friend up and running away with her down a dark hallway, so unexpected! The price was also extremely reasonable for the amount of scare time you received, as long as you can handle a bit of a wait. It was also the last day of the season and a lights-off night, so I can imagine that they were a little longer than usual. I also appreciated that there was enough of a gap in between each group entering that you didn't get to see or hear any other group and have any upcoming surprises ruined! In other haunted houses, we have been able to catch up to other groups and hide with them, which limited the one-on-one interaction with the haunters. Overall, I was blown away at this entire experience and cannot wait to return and spread the word to others who want an incredible haunted house experience!

My fiance and I try to go to as may haunted houses as we can during the month of October because my birthday is only 5 days from Halloween. The both of us have decided that Nightmare on Edgewood have been and still remains #1 on our list. I've never in all the time have I ran in a haunted house and I'm sorry I know its was against your rules but I did. We will come back a few more times I'm sure this year. Thank you for an amazing time. Jen and Justin

Email Verified ALL time BEST
I attend this haunt every year for the past 15+ years and they have always done a bang up job. Uear after year they always seem to do better and better. Amazing staff, folks selling tickets are very friendly and the actors are always in character!! Paul amd kevin and the rest of the team spend a lot of time, effort and money building this and their hard work truly shines through!!! I have wasted my money trying out othwr haunts an think to myself dang should have just went through nightmare on edgewood again!! I generally go twice a year now lol. This year has been one of my favorites with all thw serial killers from movies we all love. The clown haunt is bigger this year and better with an added bonus of the new and ultra terrifyingly grusome clown PENNYWISE!! DON'T miss out...go check it out...as a haunted house fanatic who travels to them I'm telling you this is the golden ticket...or should I said red?
