Old Tucson Studios is set to kick off the 32nd edition of Nightfall, a haunted town experience that has become a Tucson tradition.

The event, which opens September 27th at 6 p.m., promises new thrills alongside beloved favorites, making it Southern Arizona’s most immersive Halloween attraction.

“Nightfall has been an institution in Tucson for many, many years,” said Ken Korpi, entertainment manager at Old Tucson Studios. “We are bringing it back to what it once was, and we’re doing it by responding to what Tucsonans want.”

This year’s Nightfall includes six outdoor “scare zones” and four original haunted houses.

One haunt, Dabney’s Fun House, will feature clowns whose “idea of fun is a little different than yours and mine,” Korpi said.
