Item 01
Maze concepts & storylines
Original themes, lore and pre-shows that give each maze an identity worth marketing.
Scare attraction & haunted house consultancy
Your guests have paid to be terrified. Dread Works helps scare attractions keep that promise every night of the season, with stories people talk about in the queue, scares that still land on a group of ten screaming teenagers, and sound that keeps the dread going between the actors.
We work with haunted houses, scream parks, farm attractions, seasonal mazes and horror escape rooms, whether you're building a new maze from scratch or bringing a tired one back to life.

Questions
asked
When should we bring in a scare consultant?
Ideally at concept stage, before the build starts, while changing a layout or story is still cheap. We also do pre-season audits and mid-season fixes for attractions that are already open.
Do you work with small or independent attractions?
Yes. We work with everyone from single-maze independents and escape rooms to multi-attraction scream parks, and we scope the work to fit your budget.
Can you train our scare actors?
Yes. We run scare actor workshops on character, timing, positioning, voice and safe practice, on site before your season opens.
