Who are We?

We are a group of individuals who are passionate about scaring you! We also help our community by donating a percentage of every ticket sale to local charities.

Come be a part of what we do! You can volunteer your time for a great cause! Work with us behind the scenes on everything from building to acting.

Our Actors Family

BWO would be nothing without the actors! Our dedicated actors volunteer their time to perform and give back to our community, regardless of the weather.

These are the faces you will see in your nightmares!
