Ten big nights of terror are beginning tonight when the soul taker will haunt the Kosciusko County fairgrounds and its visitors in search of unsuspecting victims. (See related story and video)

Each fall, when the autumn moon becomes full and the chill in the air bites at exposed skin, the soul taker emerges from a dark, unseen dimension and stalks his prey. Small children and the weak are easy targets for this demon who searches to drag his victims kicking and screaming back into his netherworld deep in the bowels of the earth.

Voted one of Indiana’s favorite haunted houses last year, Soul Takers Acres opens this Friday evening to all who dare to venture through. If you were scared last year, you’ll be terrified this year.

Expect more twists and turns and more darkness than ever. And don’t miss Dr. Colodius Blackstones Chamber of Horrors. It looks like any old fashioned carnival side show, but beware … this a danger dark twist inside. Venture in to experience the strange and the bizarre.

Be there if you dare, when the soultaker makes his return this evening, beginning at 7 p.m.

Soul Takers Acres will operate every Friday and Saturday through Oct. 27. Friday hours are 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday ours are 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Tickets to the haunted house are $8 each. If you want to see only Dr. Colodius Blackstones Chamber of Horrors, that’s just $3. Or, buy the  ‘Gruesome Twosome” package and enjoy both adventures for just $10.
