Watch Horror Movies In Front Of A Private Bonfire At The Nightmare Theater In Nebraska

This time of year, many of us are thinking about Halloween and all of the creepy, spooky things that come with it. If you’re looking for a unique way to get into the spirit, you’ll want to take a trip to Elkhorn to attend a movie at this outdoor haunt attraction.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Camp Fear, located in Riverwest Park, is one of the Omaha area's most popular Halloween-season haunts. Its Bloodrush Forest of Terror is an especially scary experience, and you can even camp here overnight for a terrifying adventure.

On weekends in September and October, Nightmare Theater is an additional attraction that you'll want to make time for. Nightmare Theater uses a big outdoor screen to show a terrifying selection of horror movies (and even a few family-friendly ones).

Bring your own blankets or chairs and your favorite beverages - alcohol is permitted for ages 21 and over - and settle in for an evening of spooky fun. The movies start at dark, but never before 7 p.m. Each showing includes three movies, aside from the family-friendly nights which feature two movies.

Regular admission is affordable at just $5 for everyone ages 6 and up, but we recommend renting a fire pit to make the most of the experience. It comes with a wheelbarrow full of firewood and an optimal viewing position. Bring your own snacks or visit the concession stand for your movie treats.

You can also camp out overnight for an additional fee - but be warned that the Fright Overnight experience includes spooky characters walking around the campsite and scaring patrons.
There's something very creepy about watching your favorite horror movies in the dark while you hear the screams of frightened Forest of Terror visitors in the background. If you're a fan of Halloween and all things scary, this is a one-of-a-kind experience that you will not want to miss.

Don't expect a quiet movie theater-type experience. These outdoor movies have a festival-type atmosphere and you can feel free to chat and have a good time as you enjoy a scary good time.
