October brings spooky fun to Terrell with
a haunted house voted the best in the Dallas area.
Haunted Verdun Manor tells the tale
of the twisted Baron Michael Verdun and his vampiric wife,
Lady Cassandra. This unearthly duo hosted fiendish masquerades
and bizarre dinners in their strange house on Voodoo
Bayou.
Now, each fall, the ghosts of the baron and his lady
haunt the remains of their mansion, burned with them inside
it by angry citizens seeking revenge for the unspeakable
horrors visited on their families and friends.
This themed attraction features 30,000 square feet of
horrifyingly real theatrical sets, atmospheric stage lighting,
eerie special effects, and a talented cast of costumed
live actors guaranteed to treat visitors to a frightfully
good time.
Other spine-tingling Thrillvania attractions include
Cassandra's Labyrinth of Terror, Sam Hain's Hayride,
and Granny Lupu's Séance Theatre.
Downtown Terrell welcomes whole families
of spooks and goblins with safe Trick or Treating,
