USS Nightmare is Open For Riverfest!

Newport, KY, August 2013 – Have you seen it? The massive wrecked steamboat sitting along the Newport waterfront may seem out of place to some. But for Halloween lovers, the return of the USS Nightmare is a sign that fall is just around the corner and the haunting season is about to begin! Just in time for its 22nd season, the USS Nightmare crew members are putting the final touches on this year’s show and are anxious to welcome “visitors” on board beginning with a special showing on Riverfest Day, Sunday, September 1.

Built on an authentic wrecked steamboat, the USS Nightmare is annually one of the scariest and highest rated attractions in the Greater Cincinnati area making it the area’s best Halloween entertainment.
Come aboard, if you dare, and be among the first to experience this year’s tour which exposes new areas of the historic Death Dredge. On Riverfest Day, enjoy the show for a discounted ticket price of just $10 per person. (For even bigger savings, purchase online before Riverfest Day for just $8!) Ticket sales will begin at 3:30 p.m., and the show will be open from 4 to 8 p.m.

Then, make your way back to your spot for the viewing of the spectacular fireworks display marking the unofficial end of summer. Want to miss the mad rush and traffic after the fireworks? The USS Nightmare Landing Family Fun Center complete with Laser Rage laser tag, game room and snack bar will be open following the Big Bang!

Help a Haunter in Need!

A very special person by the name of Nate Bolen is in bad shape right now. He's been a staple at Haunted Hoochie for many years and currently has a severe blood infection which has caused his kidneys to shut down and his liver to not function properly. He's on life support and hopefully there's a miracle and he wakes up.

Nate has been laid off and was living off of unemployment while he looked for another job. He was the sole provider for his family before unemployment and now his wife Amber has to work 2 jobs to make ends meet and feed her family. Nate is currently disabled in the hospital ICU on life support and his unemployment benefits will end as well as his insurance coverage. Please help this family anyway you can and pray for Nate.

I've known Nate for close to 10 years and I don't want to lose a friend in the haunt industry. Below are ways you can help. Even if you can't donate money, just pray for Nate and his family. I know he can pull through this.
