Gather your friends and join us for a fun evening of wine, music, and nibbles while supporting Make-A-Wish SC. Ticket price includes wine tasting, appetizers, entertainment, and a souvenir wine glass.
Make-A-Wish South Carolina grants the wishes of children facing a critical illness. They are as local as it gets – they only grant wishes in SC and only raise funds in SC. This year they will grant more than 200 local wishes, but there are more than 400 children who would qualify for a wish. Help us close the gap and make sure every one of these kids is given a wish – a wish that will give them strength and help them heal.

SHARE THIS EVENT !!! ITS THAT TIME AGAIN, Want to tour a REAL Haunted House? The Abandoned Cabin In The Woods has gotten even creepier. This year the old Cabin is 114 years old and each year it gets scarier and scarier inside the gruesome history filled walls, It’s really haunted in some kind of way, what you are about to hear isn’t a ghost story… It’s a true story, GREENVILLE S.C.- In 1904 the Old Abandoned Cabin was built. The house was lived in by one family The “Anderson’s” only until…. Well, you’ll find out. Something in this 114 year old cabin is twisted, very twisted, its alive, its hiding, and it’s what took the Anderson’s Family… And now it’s waiting inside for you. Ever since the new owners bought this place they knew there was something about it that just wasn’t right, something bad, something twisted, something very strange. And now it’s up to you to tour the old Abandoned Cabin and see what goes on behind those walls and guess what? You have to go through with just you and your friends…or even by yourself with no tour guide ! If you’ve been through this place before you haven’t seen anything yet, here is the real truth about this Haunted Attraction, you have other haunts all around but none compares to this Haunt, This Haunt is real, a real 2 story house with another attached building with REAL documented Haunted History, but now it’s even scarier now that real actors are placed throughout the 2 Story Cabin, here you won’t get the goofy animatronics and obviously fake props lunging at you, this Haunt takes you to a totally different layer literally, our actors get in your face and really push you to your limits so if you are one who gets scared easy then STAY HOME because this place is definitely not for you !!! Expect over 40 actors to be racing toward you throughout this old cabin and sneaking up on you every chance they see and expect those hairs to raise on your neck on the whole tour of this place. Some points throughout your tour will be total darkness and in those spots is most likely where you will encounter the unexplained twisted creature that took the whole Anderson family back in 1946. Just remember…. this isn’t a lame ghost story, it’s a true story. Be sure to read more about this old cabin on other parts of the website. This Attraction has been rated #1 Scariest Haunt in South Carolina multiple times and this year will definitely be the same!

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.

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.”
