Mall of America Opening a Massive 45,000 Square Foot Haunted Attraction This Halloween Season!
A haunted attraction… inside the Mall of America?! Being described as “a new breed of haunted house,” Onionhead’s Revenge is coming to the Mall of America this Halloween!
Being presented by American Monsters, Onionhead’s Revenge is set to feature “45,000 square feet of terror,” and “elaborate set designs” for “a haunt experience like no other.”
According to Bring Me the News, the attraction will be running from September 15 – October 31, and it sounds like they’re giving Halloween Horror Nights a run for their money.
“The intricate detail and one-of-a-kind offerings, such as specialty bars with themed cocktails and food, will create a haunt experience like no other,” the team promises. Much like Universal’s HHN, they’re also promising “terrifyingly evocative sets” as well as “media-based scare moments, theatrical lighting, special effects, and an original soundtrack.”
American Monsters teases the premise for the attraction…
According to local legend, “Onionhead” is the cruel nickname forced upon a young man from Slidell, Louisiana, who was brutally murdered by a vigilante mob after being wrongly accused for the murder of a young woman. Consumed by rage, the assailants hacked his body into 13 pieces and scattered them in a nearby cemetery.
Swearing vengeance, his mother put a hex on the townspeople who took her son. In the months following, those responsible for Onionhead’s murder were each victims of gruesome deaths.
Locals still report sightings of a monstrosity, hideously stitched together, stalking the cemetery… and out for revenge.
“We are thrilled to partner with the leaders in the haunt themed entertainment industry to open a first-of-its-kind Halloween attraction,” said Chris Grap, Vice President of Experiential, Mall of America. “American Monsters will bring to life their creative and terrifying concepts, turning nightmares into reality. Opening an elevated haunt experience in addition to our exceptional seasonal festivities will make Mall of America the perfect destination for Halloween enthusiasts.”
American Monsters is hiring now for this year’s Mall of America attraction, and you can sign up and learn more over on their official website. Pre-sale tickets release on August 1.
The Mall of America is located in Bloomington, Minnesota, and it’s notable for being the largest shopping mall in America. It’s also the eleventh largest in the entire world.
Can you believe this year marks the 25TH ANNIVERSARY of Bloody Disgusting?! Yes, it was way back in 2001 that Brad Miska and Tom Owen launched this very website, with yours truly taking over as Editor-in-Chief around 10 years ago. It’s been the highlight of my life to run and write for this website every single day of those past 10 years, and one of the very best things about writing for Bloody Disgusting is the community that’s kept us alive all these years.
It’s thanks to you, the readers and supporters of Bloody Disgusting, that we get to keep doing this for a living, and we’re deeply proud of the fact that we’ve continued to have an engaged and active readership over the years and throughout the many changes we’ve had to weather.
We’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and we hope you’re not either.
On that note, we thought it might be fun to fire up monthly discussion threads where you can essentially use the comments sections of those articles to ask us anything. Sure, we’re always hanging around in the comments sections of different articles here and there when we can, but these will be dedicated spaces that we can repeatedly come back to throughout each month to answer questions and chat about what’s going on in the world of horror.
For the month of June 2026, this is that discussion thread. Feel free to come on back here any day throughout June to ask us literally anything, or start up a discussion on any topic of your choosing. Whenever we’ve got some spare time in between writing articles, we’ll pop in here and engage back with as many of those comments as we possibly can.
As long as you’re being pleasant, even if you’re expressing disagreements with our opinions or frustrations with anything we’re doing, the conversation will be more than welcome.
So go ahead… ASK BLOODY DISGUSTING ANYTHING!
