Long long ago, in an age when the lands were ruled by Kings and Queens, there was a code of honor and chivalry. But not all the people of this time shared these beliefs. Because of this, brave warriors were called upon to protect the kingdom from the dark forces of evil. These knights fought many battles in defense of their people.
After a particularly bloody battle against a rival army, the victorious knights of Castle Bennett began their long journey home. It was on this trip, in the dark of night, that they encountered an enemy far more powerful than they have ever seen... Creatures of a dark dominion awaited their passing, a clan of vampyres and other creatures sent by an evil, underworld king to rid the world of all things good.
Outnumbered and exhausted the knights fought bravely, but their struggle was in vain. The knights who survived the desperate battle, met a fate worse than death. They found themselves under a powerful spell, forced to live an eternity as vampyres and other foul creatures of the dark dominion.
This fell army made its way to Castle Bennett, setting fire to every village they passed causing widespread destruction and adding new members to their ranks.
In the end, of course, Castle Bennett secumbed to this evil, what you will see at Bennett's Curse is what has become of Castle Bennett after its terrible demise, and you will see the live creatures that had terrorized and tortured others like yourselves within these castle walls.
Bennett's Curse -- House of the Vampyres, has quickly established itself as Maryland's "must see" Halloween event. Our promise to revolutionize Halloween entertainment for our visitors and our committment to "Putting Maryland on the Haunted House Map" has been the driving force behind our rapid growth, and cutting edge approach to Haunted Houses.

Attractions
New for 2009, at the request of so many of our guests, we are offering a Speed Pass option online and at the box office. This will allow guests to bypass the lines and have little to no wait to enter the attractions!
In an effort to keep waiting times down and the fear factor high, we have also designed a new format to accommodate you at our shows . We will have one point of entry this year to both attractions. Once you finish the first attraction you will continue into the second. This will offer our you fewer waiting lines and will result in an multi-themed, multi-element haunted adventure.
Castle Bennett once a mighty symbol of the power of the Bennett Royal Family, has now been reduced to complete and utter dispair and ruin. From the deepest pits and darkest corners of the underworld the most insidious and evil creatures reside within the castle. Among the most feared are those of the Royal Order of Vampyric Knights who lead their legions of undead warriors against all who oppose them.
In the next chapter, the evolving tale of the demise of Castle Bennett now known as the House of the Vampyres becomes more shocking and more horrible than ever. It is a place where few sane men have ventured, and fewer yet have returned. But rumors of newly discovered corridors in the castle exist, tales of the dark dungeons, and rooms filled with instruments of torture and death. Still, others tell of rooms filled with the corpses of the castles former inhabitants, strange new creatures and even a vortex that connects to the dark underworld itself. To enter the castle, you must be granted entrance to pass under the huge Angel of Death. Those few fortunate enough to escape the undead creature inside, will come face to face with a giant flying Dragon ready to feed upon his next victims! This will be the scariest and most intense House of the Vampyres show yet, you've been warned!!!
The "Sanctuary of Insanity" will feature the "Dominion of Darkness" again and will be joined as one seamless and continuous show. It will combine a mind blowing maze and illusions which will then take you on a psychological trip through a nightmarish sanctuary of rampaging psychopaths!
Are you afraid of the Dark? Frightened thrill seekers will make their way through an inflatable labyrinth of pitch black hallways, all while being tormented and terrorized by the now famous Bennett's Curse creatures. Can you find your way through a labyrinth of total darkness? You will never see what lurks before you and follows you through. Guests will enter into Maryland & DC's safest and most frightening dark themed adventure.
But can you find your way out of the maze? Once you find your way you will encounter illusions and take a psychological trip through a nightmarish sanctuary home to some of the worst of criminal minds while being totally engulfed in a world of insanity!
