No mere roadside attraction, the Niles Haunted House Scream Park takes you on a trip through the scariest, creepiest, most blood-curdling attractions this side of the Continental Divide. Cringe as you tiptoe through three unique Haunted Houses! Cower as you jostle along on the Haunted Hayride! Flee frightening apparitions in the Field of Screams!
While you're trembling, you'll be helping a good cause.
The Park raises money for a wide variety of local charities. In 2012, it generated more than $57,800 for Michiana area communities, a significant portion of which went to more than 65 not-for-profit organizations such as Boy and Girl Scout groups, church youth groups and booster groups for colleges and high schools. |

 The Niles Haunted House family is mourning the passing of one of its most dedicated volunteers. Most volunteers come and go...some stay for a short time, some stay for a long time, but Chris was one who just stayed and stayed. He started volunteering in 1992 and put in an incredible number hours every year until he retired from the Haunted House last year at the age of 78.
Over his 20 year career, Chris donated 12,006 hours to the Niles Haunted House, which amounts to over 600 per year. He was the only member of the 12,000 Club. He donated 3,100 in the last four years (an average of 775 per year), so that proves that there was no slowing down for the old timer! No one else has come close to Chris’ numbers and we doubt anyone ever will. To give a sense of the gap, the next highest milestone is the 3,000 Club and there are only four current members in that club.
Chris helped to build sets during the off-season, but really was best known for working the paintball game “Spooky Splatt.” Once he started working there, he wouldn’t give it up. He loved to watch the young kids having fun and hitting targets, and especially the ones that loved it so much that they would come back three times in the same night.
 Chris was not always the easiest person to work with (there’s a reason his nickname was “Sunshine”), but there is no doubting his dedication to the project and his incredible effort to help the community through his service at the Niles Haunted House.
He will be missed and never replaced. God definitely threw away the mold when Chris was made. Truly a man in his own league!
Thank you for your dedication and for the memories. God bless you, Sunshine!!!

The lucky individual is Chelsie Webb of Plymouth, Indiana. As a result of her good fortune, she received a special “ghost pack” from the Niles Haunted House. Chelsie has been visiting the Scream Park since she was seven years old. When asked, “Why?” her response was “because it’s fun!” |
