We even had the guy managing the line outside tell us to scoot closer to the people in front of us. We refused especially because people on the other side of the line that looped next to us weren't wearing their masks. My group was only 5 people so they put us with another small group. I thought that was weird because I think on their site they said that they were only putting people with their groups and not combining. The best thing is that the actors cannot touch you. I know haunted houses this year are weird but we still have to enforce these things especially with rates skyrocketing. Now to the scares... I had a blast. It was my sons first time at a haunted house and he kinda enjoyed himself. He was scared lol and I thought that was funny too. I convinced him to go because I told him that they can't touch you this year. Best time to go!! The beginning is what got us. They lined us up in this room and then turned all the lights off. It was pitch black. When the lights came on, the actors were standing right in front of us. You couldn't even hear them come in. That scared my son so bad. I knew this was going to be great lol. Once we started he had his ears covered the entire time. I laughed the entire time at him and the one actor that had the "dead baby". Good times!! I would go again.

The haunt has several stands in the line for you to read about the story and a video screen showing movie clips. The actors were fantastic. They made the line as much fun as the haunt. We loved watching them startle incoming guests. Before going in a group picture is taken and you can buy the copy for $5. Overall, several rooms to walk through and they've really made it full of animatronics. I didn't want to walk too fast because there was a lot to appreciate - even if it meant extra attention from the scare team. There's other fun areas you're "locked" into with a character and they get real close. Some areas of caution. It is built within an industrial building and there's a few steps and bumps along the path. They tell you not to run for a reason. One area is full of strobe lights and smoke - I had zero visibility. Thankfully my kids realized I was disoriented and grabbed my hand to pull me through or I'd still be there! The finale of the haunt is what adds my fifth star. A gift shop of clothing and decor, a snack truck, animals from a sanctuary to pet, desserts to indulge in - plus an escape room. We spent just as much time enjoying this and everyone was so friendly. Street parking plus a private lot available. Security to wand folks at ticket booth. Porter potties are clean. Lighting in key areas.

The series is a may through august event where about once a month they will project a horror/sci fi type movie on a blow up outdoor projector. And it is completely free. A little back story on the name. The legend of Pope lick revolves around a train trestle and urban legends of a goatman. The nearby train trestle has been a popular urban legend and ghost hunter attraction . UnFortunately the trestle is very active and thrill seekers have lost there lives over the years. For more info you can Google goat man Lousiville and there is a whole wiki page for it. So the creature feature plays off the goat man or legend of Pope lick aurora. I first became away of this festival a few years ago and they were showing much scariest films like Friday the 13th and night of the living dead. They have food trucks, concessions, merch stands and people dressed up and I had heard it was a really cool fun event. This past Saturday night in June 2021 me and family came and seen Men in black. Very nice open field and very large screen. The sound quality was shockingly great. Very loud and clear. Better then any normal drive in theatre ive been too. You park in the parking lot and bring a chair or blanket to the field and take your seats. As mentioned they have cool and spooky decor and people in costumes. They have a concession that sales snacks and merch. Indoor bathrooms. Food trucks like Kona ice and they even had guys with telescopes offering free looks at the moon. Very cool. The kids also enjoyed the nearby playground. Me and my children had a blast. We had perfect weather and enjoyed the old classic will smith movie and the atmosphere. They are showing Jurassic park next month and we plan on coming back. We will try and come to as many of these as possible. Very fun, free, and creative event series that hopefully continues for a long time.

Each row of seats is stadium style with a small shelf area to place your drinks or purse on. It allows everyone a perfect view of the nights performance. The stage is quite small for performers so you are likely to see one man acts or smaller plays that require more imagination then set. The only downside is that because this space is wedged between multiple restaurants and apartments you can here a lot of outside noise. The whole second act of the show I saw had muffed band music bleeding through from the bar next door. The ticket prices seem to be pretty reasonable and there is enough room for a bar. It is a great found space with a lot of history since many magicians have performed in the space.

I've been here a few times to see Theatre 502 productions. It's a small theatre on Whiskey Row. I normally get there earlier to sit in the front row, but I honestly don't think there's a bad seat in the house. It's a great space and Theatre 502 always finds new and creative ways to use the space. I've only been here for Theatre 502 shows, but I can't imagine that other acts don't use the space. You should definitely see something here if given the chance. My only complaint? A local pizza place is downstairs. On the weekends, you can hear live music coming from downstairs. Be aware of that before going here. I can usually tune it out, but there have been a few times where it was a nuisance. To offer incentive, I'm always told that the pizza place offers drink discounts to the theatre patrons. I've never took them up on the offer but it is a nice addition(if needed).

They host big annual concerts such as forecastle and louder than life. However Louisville spookiest and most creative annual event takes place every August in the highlands on the corner of Bardstown road and eastern parkway. It's is known as the Louisville Zombie attack or as locals call it the "zombie walk". This is a free event where people go all out and dress as zombies and other cool creative costumes and they roam around the popular highlands area that is filled with restaurants and bars. They have vendors setup in the street and usually live music and entertainment. The event is well secured and patrolled by local Lmpd and have barricades/port o pots and things setup to contain the big living dead bash. Even zombies neee barriers and potty breaks! This is kid friendly. While it can be spooky for some kids (it is a zombie walk) the people out for frights usually don't mess with the little ones and are more then willing to stop for photo ops With the little ones. If your child scares easy then I would skip it. However, I'd say it's main audience is adults. It's usually on a Friday or Saturday night and highlands is a popular bar area so there is lots of drinking and dancing activities around including in the live music and beer tent area. The whole walk back and forth maybe takes an hour or so and they do shut it down after certain times. We usually just get dressed up find a place to street park and circle around a few times and take in the sites and fun . The bars and restaurants are open but we usually skip eating because the crowds are so large. From my understanding this started as a flash mob in 2005. And slowly became what it is today. I think we've been to this annual late August event 3-4 times and we have loved it every year we have attended. It's the event we look forward to the most annually. With it being in late August it puts you in the spooktacular mood for Halloween coming up right around the corner. Lots of fun and highly recommend checking out if you enjoy Halloween or spooky type things.

Gotta say -- not too impressed with the latest iteration of the annual Louisville Zombie Attack…read more This used to be one of my favorite weird Louisville traditions (as you can see from my previous review). But it was recently taken over by another business and permanently moved to a Saturday, rather than annually on Aug. 29. And with it being on a Saturday, it seemed so much bigger than in years past and with that came more drunkenness and rowdiness. Holding the event on weekdays may have kept some of that back. As odd as it may sound, the Louisville Zombie Attack was much more well behaved in the past. There were many more kids and teenagers, and while there was drinking, the undead masses were out in the best spirits and seemed excited to be a part of a great event that was welcoming to everybody. This year, though, people were making out and over indulging, even with scores of kids around them. It reminded me more of the worst of the St. Patrick's Day festivities. I and my husband got pushed off of the sidewalk into the street by people who were drunk and oblivious. We saw a few people come up right next to the kids we were standing by, smoking. And while I hate -- HATE -- smoking, I hate it even more that these people were so inebriated that they were waving around their cigarettes, coming way too close to burning the kids. It was hard to see through all of this if the parade was managed properly; perhaps it was. But my hope is that the zombie attack becomes more about, well, the zombies and a great time overall for all, rather than just a drunken mess.
