OUR COMPANY MISSION
The title of Fear Overload is not just for show, it is a meaningful inscription that correlates to what we like to pride ourselves on. What we have established throughout the years we have been dominating the Halloween season. And that is about facing fears and confronting nightmares. No one likes to be scared or fearful of what makes them shiver and stay awake at night, but Fear Overload Scream Park thrives off of those nightmarish consternations. You will be afraid in Fear Overload, and you will scream hence the “Scream Park.” But fears are meant to be faced, and while they may not be conquered all of the time, they can certainly be dealt with. A lot of people do not just come back to Fear Overload to experience the amazing monsters, the wild sets, and the extravagant theatrics. They come back so they can share the experience with people they love. So face your fears this season with your friends and family. Show that you are capable of making it through these haunted houses in the Bay Area screaming and wailing but with a smile on your face. Being scared is a part of life, and Fear Overload makes sure that we celebrate that part wholesomely.”

Dead Time Dreams
2501 Tully Rd, San Jose, CA 95122
Dead Time Dreams ….like bedtime dreams but waaaaaaaay scarier….
“Our business goals and philosophy is to provide a incredible Haunted House experience. You are not just walking through looking at painted room scenes. These attractions are far more like actually being in the movie itself with all the realism and details for a full sensory impact where you try and cope with what’s happening as your psyche is being assailed….
No longer do you stand waiting in line, now you have a whole Midway of Terror to entertain you even before entering the attraction. This year, the experience will be a whole detailed pre-show that gets the mood or was it blood flowing, even before you go facing the dark passageways of horrors. See the Freaks and Creatures that have never been seen before, special nightly shows that are different happenings each night, The Midway of Terror is a dark and intense experience which is better than most haunted attractions you will have ever experienced before!”
Blind Scream Haunted Houses
98 Plaza, Santa Rosa, CA 95401
Blind Scream Haunted Houses is a super scary place to visit this Halloween season…
“Deep in the dank, dark woods stands a dilapidated old dwelling that the townsfolk steer clear of. It’s inhabited by 3 terrible sisters, each one as evil as hell itself. They have poisoned the surrounding lands and cursed anyone who dares enter this vile place they claim as home. Those brave enough to cross the threshold, well, they NEVER RETURN.
Our goal is to scare you! This is not a haunt for the faint of heart. You will be scared. Often parents think that because a child has seen scary movies that they will be able to handle a live haunt. Our experience is that this is not the case. Actors give the same level of scare to all ages. Staff will have the right to remove a child at any time we feel that they are being traumatized. We do not give refunds if the child is asked to be removed, or can not make it all the way through.”
