There’s something creepy returning to the Christmas season in Lubbock.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s always been something unsettling about winter. Maybe it\u2019s the long nights, the quiet stillness, or the way the cold makes everything feel a little more isolated. Add in the strange legends \u2014 Santa Claus, elves, flying creatures, shadowy helpers, and other \u201cmagical\u201d beings \u2014 and suddenly Christmas isn\u2019t just festive. It\u2019s creepy. And that\u2019s exactly why Nightmare On 19th Street in Lubbock <\/a>is bringing back Nightmare Before Xmas.<\/p>\n This December marks only the second time the park has opened during the holiday season, and the crew is going all-in. All four major attractions \u2014 BloodMoon Manor, KarnEvil, Castle Dominus, and Mr. Ratty\u2019s Pizza-Playhouse \u2014 will be decked out with twisted Christmas themes. Picture Christmas lights strung where they shouldn\u2019t be, warped holiday decorations, glowing trees, and a special soundtrack that blends cheer with chills. In a unique twist, we’ll also be bringing in guest scare-actors from The\u00a0Blackness <\/a>in Plainview.<\/p>\n Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be Nightmare without characters who push things over the edge. Guests will encounter ghastly elves, a fully unhinged and deeply Sinister Santa, and the towering eight-foot menace himself \u2014 Krampus. Photo ops will include the stunning \u201cWinter Wings\u201d mural painted by local artist Lukky Rodriguez, giving guests a perfect mix of beauty and dread. And even though it\u2019s too early to forecast December weather, crisp winter nights are practically made for wandering a spooky scream park.<\/p>\n Nightmare On 19th Street is currently celebrating its 19th Year of Fear and was recently named #4 Best Walk-Through by Hauntmaster General. It\u2019s a distinction the whole team is proud of \u2014 and they\u2019re ready to show Lubbock something unforgettable.<\/p>\n And since it is the season of giving, why not stuff your stocking with a festive four-pack of tickets?
