Nightmare Run is Louisville's clue-solving Ghost Run — a haunted scavenger hunt you play from your own car, and your ticket includes Fast Pass admission to two of the area's best haunted attractions, so you skip the regular line at both.
Gather your crew, pick up a randomly assigned route at the start gate, and follow a series of rhyming, twisted, often funny clues down back roads and dark country stretches you never knew existed. Every turn is a puzzle. Get it right and the next clue confirms it. Get it wrong and, well… that's half the fun. Your route leads you to two haunted houses, and both are already paid for — buying Fast Pass at those two haunts on your own would run about $80 per person.
Ghost Runs started right here in Louisville over 40 years ago. Nightmare Run brings that retro format back, built by haunt veterans with over 40 years of Halloween entertainment experience between them. Four different routes keep cars from following each other, route answers are posted online so you're never truly lost, and everyone 18+ in your vehicle is eligible for prizes.
Fridays and Saturdays, October 2–31, 2026 — start any time between 6:30 and 10:00 PM from the Lowe's on Preston Highway. Perfect for a group of friends, a date night, or anyone who wants a full night of Halloween adventure instead of a quick walk-through.
In this video, we take on the Nightmare Run - a game you play in your car by solving spooky limericks to get to TWO haunted houses in one night! But that's not all - Complete the journey with the CORRECT mileage and be eligible to win some pretty awesome prizes at the end of the season!
We're giving away THREE pairs of tickets to Nightmare Run this year!
To enter, follow the instructions (captions) at the end of the video.
We will randomly select from the winning participants and, if selected, we will reply to your comment to let you know how to claim your tickets! Last date to enter is TUESDAY, Oct. 8th, 2024 at 11:59PM-EST.
