Evil on Erie

Evil on Erie in Lafayette, Indiana, is a chilling haunted attraction presented by Indiana Fields of Fear, renowned for its immersive, high-intensity horror experience set within a historic warehouse with a reputedly haunted past. Spanning over 15,000 square feet, this indoor haunt delivers a 25- to 30-minute journey through a nightmarish realm, where a portal accidentally opened in the 1950s is said to have collided two worlds, unleashing supernatural forces. The experience begins with a disorienting entry into the warehouse, where guests encounter eerie phenomena like cold spots, shadowy figures, and unexplained marks, tying into the building’s history of reported screams and lights when vacant. The haunt features meticulously designed scenes, including a demon room with occult symbols, a chemical lab with toxic barrels, a zombie-infested zone, and a terrifying Clown City inspired by Stephen King’s It. Over 50 professional actors deliver intense, interactive scares, portraying ghouls, deranged clowns, and spectral entities that invade personal space, often leaving guests with a lingering sense of dread. The atmosphere is heightened by Hollywood-quality special effects, including strobe lights, thick fog, dynamic soundscapes, and sensory elements like unsettling smells, creating a multi-sensory horror experience. Notable props, such as animatronic monsters and a creepy hospital setup, enhance the immersive terror. Investigations by Wabash Valley Paranormal, including one with a local reporter, have deemed the building truly haunted, with visitors reporting nightmares and physical marks, adding an authentic paranormal layer. The queue area features roaming actors and food vendors, maintaining a spooky yet festive vibe. Due to its intense scares, low visibility, and physical demands, including tight spaces, Evil on Erie is not recommended for children under 13 or those with mobility issues. Benefiting HomesteadCS, a non-profit supporting affordable housing, this haunt combines community impact with heart-pounding terror, making it a must-visit for thrill-seekers.
