This Valentine’s Day, the Wentz Brothers are slashing traditional date night expectations with a bloody twist on the holiday.
- For the first time, the creative masterminds behind the popular Halloween attraction Festival of Fears are bringing screams to Okaloosa this Feb. 14.
The limited-time haunted house follows the success of December’s Holiday Haunts and kicks off the 2024 preparations for the scare factory’s flagship Fright Fest.
“Exes & O’s” leans into the slasher film trope with an original backstory leaving plenty to the imagination as guests walk through the macabre maze inside the former JC Penney at Santa Rosa Mall. And though the brothers say the concept is familiar to most, you won’t find Michael Myers or Ghostface here.
- The brothers promise their bloody Valentine’s twist will appeal to audiences regardless of their feelings toward the holiday dedicated to love and romance.
In addition to the haunted attraction, the event will also feature an escape room, a Lost Souls Tavern bar and a pop-up style gift shop featuring a mix of edgy season must-haves from indie brands and local creatives.
Festival of Fears will open for three nights on Feb. 10, 14 and 17 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets purchased online include express free entry and start at $20 per person. More information can be found at www.wbfestivaloffears.com.
