Dr. DeKay’s House of Screams

Paul “Dr. Dekay” Smith and his minions are back as Dr. DeKay’s House of Screams presents “Memories,” a newly designed haunt, every Friday and Saturday in the month of October at the Ro-Na Cultural Arts Center, 306 S. 3rd St., Ironton.
“Memories” runs 7 p.m. to midnight. Admission each night is $10 per person, except for a Friday the 13th special, which will be discounted to two tickets for $13. In addition, buyers of tickets to the haunt are registered to win a flat screen TV, which is planned to be given away on Halloween.
Visitors will find some of their favorite Hollywood horror movie stars as Michael Myers returns to his home in Haddonfield and Jason Voorhees returns to Camp Crystal Lake. Proceeds from House of Screams go toward renovations of the theater. Dr. Dekay’s official mascot is Clawed the WerePup, and along with photo opportunities with Clawed, visitors to the haunted house on special nights will be able to have their picture taken with real-life wolves. Southern Ohio Wolf Sanctuary will be present with wolf dogs, also known as hybrids, on the opening Friday, Oct. 6, and the closing Saturday, Oct. 28.
