Rohnert Park:
Blind Scream “House of Horrors” Haunted House takes away your sense of sight in one of the longest and most frightening mazes in the area. This pitch-black indoor experience is open rain or shine. Actors and staff are trained to terrify everyone equally, a live haunt is quite different from watching your favorite scary movie and therefore, if guests cannot complete the maze due to overwhelming terror, Blind Scream has done its job and no refunds will be given.
Furthermore, small children may be traumatized and are not recommended to participate. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Featuring a Zombie shooting gallery, guests can test their aim with live walking zombies and mechanical targets lurking under black lights as they roam the perimeters. If brave enough, guests can attempt “The last ride,” a ride in which guests are placed into a closed coffin as voices of English grave diggers fill the small dark space. Complete with hydraulics and dirt smells this ride simulates the terrifying experience of being buried in a cemetery.
Blind Scream will operate from through Nov. 2 at Sonoma County Village, 1400 Valley House Dr. in Rohnert Park, next to Sally Tomatoes. Ticket prices are $15 a person, opening at dusk the haunt closes once the last ticket is sold.

GuernEVILle:
Dr. Evil was born in 1771 amidst the plague. His mother died of the ravenous disease and his father, a mad scientist, locked her soul in a metal box in order to perform nightmarish experiments in attempts to bring her back to life. The now Immortal Dr.Evil followed in his father’s footsteps after his death, and possesses the dark descriptions of his father’s experiments in a diary.
Evil itself summoned Dr.Evil to Guernville over 100 years ago, where he looms over the town taking pleasure toiling with the lives of the innocent. If you dare, journey to Dr.Evil’s House of Horrors and face the ringleader of fright. For those weak of heart, there is a free, kid friendly haunted maze with free treats on Halloween.
Remember, Dr.Evil’s house is not for children! Enter at your own risk! The haunting runs every Friday and Saturday in October from sundown to 10 p.m at 16101 Neely Road, in GuernEVILle. General admission is $15 and VIP tickets are $25 which allows victims to skip lines and experience the haunt twice.
