DarkStar Virtual Reality has taken over Greenville Zombie Outbreak: Welcome to the very FIRST Virtual Reality haunted attraction in South Carolina!
The Zombie Shoot Just Got An UPGRADE!
The Greenville Zombie Outbreak continues in 2018 and no one is safe! This Halloween attraction is a totally immersive virtual reality haunted house… without the haunted house! You will truly be amazed at the detail in this virtual zombie apocalypse scenario.
DarkStar VR believes there is far too much fluff and BS in haunted house marketing. So we are bringing you an entirely different kind of haunted attraction… Completely in Virtual Reality!
This is what you can expect:
You can forget about pretending to shoot actors made up like zombies with empty airsoft guns or paintballs (how lame)… You want to see heads explode! We heard you and we have revolutionized the zombie shoot!
Once you strap on the head mounted display, it is like waking up in a world filled with the walking dead that have taken over the underground compound in Greenville South Carolina.
You will be debriefed on the elevator ride down into the compound… over 20 floors underground. Once the doors open, you get a brief lesson on the controls… then let the Zombie Shoot begin.
Bring all of your friends! Just know that once we strap you into the VR headset… you will be ALL ALONE in the compound full of zombies. Your friends can’t help you now…
Oh there will be BRAAAAAAIIINS! In VR we can do things that actors can’t do… so when you shoot our zombies in the head you get a satisfactory blood spray. Real talk… “You can see how wet the blood is” according to one of our victims…er… guests. The zombie shoot has been brought into modern times with the help of DarkStar Virtual Reality!
This is a truly mad world Halloween haunted attraction created by Jason Profit, the famously sick mind that created the Greenville Ghost Tour.

For Halloween 2018 we are excited to be teaming up with our friends at Nightmare Dungeon! Our VR zombie shoot experience will be set up there adding to their crazy haunted attraction! So after you shoot zombies, plan on checking out the scariest haunted house in Greenville while you are there. It is a genuine Halloween horror fest!(NOTE: We are a separate attraction. Tickets to Nightmare Dungeon are a separate purchase.)

Reclaimed Creations is a unique sculpture exhibit created by renowned artist Sayaka Ganz. Utilizing reclaimed plastic objects, such as discarded utensils, Ganz creates amazing sculptures that visually appear unified at a distance, but are in fact separated when examined up close. Described as using a “3D impressionistic” style, Ganz’s exhibit includes installations of animals in motion, which are in rich in color and energy, to create an illusion of form.
About the Artist
Born in Yokohama, Japan, Sayaka Ganz grew up living in Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A lecturer and teacher, Ganz’s work has been displayed at various institutions around the globe, including the Hermann Geiger Foundation in Cecina, Italy, the Isle Gallery in Isle of Man, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.
My work is about perceiving harmony, even in situations that appear chaotic from the inside. When observing my sculptures up close, one might see gaps, holes and items being held on only by small points; step away, however, and the sculptures reveal the harmony created when the objects are aligned to the same general (but not identical) direction. Similarly, it is important to gain perspective by stepping back from current problems and look at the larger picture. Then one can perceive the beauty and patterns that exist.”
