“Nightmare Alley: Drive-Thru Terror,” Northern Virginia’s first-ever Haunted Drive-Thru, continues the longstanding “Haunted Trail” tradition offered by the Workhouse Arts Center. This program not only serves as entertainment but also as an extension of the Workhouse Performing Arts program, allowing local youth to practice their set production and theatrical skills.

“Nightmare Alley” is a completely contactless drive-thru Halloween experience. Zombies, swamp creatures, creepy clowns and scary dolls are among 13 different scary scenes taking up residence at the Workhouse campus throughout the month of October. These new inhabitants will scare and entertain visitors experiencing the attraction from the safety of their cars

Set on the grounds of the former District of Columbia’s Correctional Facility, the Workhouse campus provides a unique and extra eerie setting for this Halloween attraction.

Tickets are on sale now for our eight remaining nights of fright. Fridays and Saturdays run from 7 to 11 p.m. each weekend in October, and the two remaining Sundays, October 18 and 25 run from 7 to -10 p.m. The final night of “Nightmare Alley” is October 31.
