The ballpark transforms from summertime green to gruesome scenes this weekend when Fright Fest Productions opens its indoor haunted house for the Halloween season. The house of horrors features a full redesign from previous years with new rooms and terrifying scenes that promoters hope will scare the bejesus out of guests brave, or foolish, enough to enter. Slaughter House opens Saturday, Oct. 3, at Aces Ballpark, 250 Evans Ave. Hours of operation are 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday through Nov. 2.

One person rides and the remaining team members push, pull or drag the decorated outhouses down the racetrack. The Parade of Outhouses will begin at noon on Saturday, Oct. 4, along Virginia City’s main drag, C Street, with races to follow at 1 p.m. The races will begin again on Sunday, Oct. 5, at noon. Admission is free. Call 847-7500 or visit http://visitvirginiacitynv.com.
