The Midwest Haunters Convention (MHC) has selected the Niles Haunted House Scream Park to participate in their pre-convention escorted ‘Monster’ Motor Coach Tour of 20 haunted attractions throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.

The bus tour departs from and returns to Columbus, Ohio Wednesday through Thursday. Three chartered motor coaches will serve 150 guests from around the world to tour the best haunted attractions in the Midwest.

“We’re excited to have been chosen to host this event for haunted house professionals and to showcase our attraction to our peers,” said Pete Karlowicz, Niles scream park manager. “We understand there are participants on the tour from all over the world and they’re interested in seeing how we frighten our guests.”

Buses are scheduled to arrive at 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Celebrating 40 years of fear, the Niles Haunted House is a non-profit community project that provides fun, haunting entertainment for Michiana families. The park and its five major attractions will open to the public Friday, Sept. 13.

The MHC will be held in Columbus, Ohio Friday through Sunday. It’s the largest Halloween show of its kind serving haunted attraction industry professionals and enthusiasts. For more information on the MHC, visit midwesthauntersconvention.com.
