The Nevermore Haunt, 450 Mott St. in Baltimore
In the mood for a little time travel this Halloween?
New this year, The Nevermore Haunt is a haunted attraction that's inspired by Baltimore and set in the 1800s.
"We hope to terrify and entertain our guests with a unique twist on our favorite Halloween tradition," the haunt's website reads.
The Nevermore Haunt offers a shuttle from Fells Point if you want to incorporate a little terror into your night out on the town. The shuttle picks up and drops off every 30 minutes, in front of Bad Decisions at the corner of Bond and Aliceanna streets in Fells Point. Wrist bands, which grant access to food and drink specials at various watering holes, can can be picked up at the haunt or at the shuttle pickup location.
To check times and to buy tickets, which are $25 or $20 a person for groups of 10 people or more, go to The Nevermore Haunt's website.
