One of Seattle's Best Haunted Houses to Rise from the Grave for a Sixth Season

    SEATTLE, WA, September 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The purveyors of panic at Haunted Nightmare return to the Nile Golf Course this Halloween season with a nightmarish haunted house experience you'll be dying to wake up from. The 11-night event exists as a partnership with the Nile Shriners who look to Haunted Nightmare's many skilled volunteer makeup artists, set designers and actors to drive their largest annual fundraiser - Haunted Nightmare at the Nile.

With the recent purchase of a 1986 Cadillac hot rod hearse, haunt producers have the proverbial pedal to the metal and have no plans of letting up as they look to build on last year's success of being named one of CoasterNation.com's "Top 31 Haunted Attractions 2015". Upon arrival, guests will notice an entirely new layout, featuring more indoor space and streamlined operations bringing guests face-to-face with their fears faster than ever before! An entirely new path through the haunted attraction features a ton of new scares, as well as some entirely re-themed attractions! A long offseason and plenty of exciting, new changes has the Haunted Nightmare Scream Team salivating in anticipation of Opening Night and the opportunity to welcome in another round of fresh meat!

About Haunted Nightmare
The Haunted Nightmare team of volunteers began producing haunted attractions in 2009 for various charities. The event included locations in Bothell and Snohomish, leading up to their current partnership with the Nile Shriners in 2013. They are a proud member of the Haunted Attraction Association and are C.H.A.O.S. certified (Certified Haunted Attraction Operator Safety Program).

About the Shriners
Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, truth and relief. Throughout history, both the Freemasons and Shriners have had a reputation for secrecy, but their mission is straightforward. Shriners are committed to:

- Being the premier fraternal organization for men of good character.
- Providing attractive, quality programs and services for its members, their families and their friends in a spirit of fun, fellowship and social camaraderie.
- Fostering self-improvement through leadership, education, the perpetuation of moral values and community involvement.

The Nile Shriners first received their charter in 1909. Land for the current Nile Shrine Center was purchased in 1924 and has evolved into what it is today, featuring 3,000 feet of choice waterfront on Lake Ballinger, an 18-hole golf course, a lodge featuring a bar & grill and multiple rooms for private events, multiple warehouses for storage and meeting areas for various clubs, extensive picnic areas and more. The Nile Shriners have been a positive influence in the community for decades, and their units, such as Clowns, Mini Bikes and Oriental Band, continue to bring smiles at local parades.
