Fright Manor is located on Indianapolis' scary southside, where scaring is an art. They have added a new haunted sight called Psychomanthium.

Fright Manor is an old fashioned haunted house where there's a scare around every corner. You may think that you're scared of hospitals now, but wait until you enter Fright Manor Haunted House.

Can you make it thru all of the bloody gore? Can you sneak by the chain man in the dark? You'll need to pre-register you with our nurse in the waiting room of Morbid Manor Hospital. See if you can get past Doctor Butcher without getting operated on. If you can't get out of Fright Manor, Zombie Rob will take you away in his hearse.

Psychomanthium (which means to conjure the dead) is currently going through the torturous three's and giving Fright Manor a torturing headache.

Upon entering Psychomanthium, you can visit the zombies in the funeral parlor before they plant them and visit them after they are planted in the nightmare graveyard.

Fright Manor Haunted House is located 2400 block of east Southport Rd., on Derbyshire Rd., Indianapolis. For information call 317-767-7540 or visit their Web site.

Single admission is $18. All three haunts are included in this price. Group rates are available. A $3 off coupon is available on their Web site at www.frightmanor.com.
