Description:  This Sparrows Point tradition for over 30 years is for HALLOWEEN lovers everywhere. Victims from as far as Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia have travelled to experience the fright and terror of 'The Dungeons'.  Enjoy the 1 hour tour that includes a walk through the terrifying woods of the Fort Howard county park, and the infamous fort dungeons, haunted since the historical battle of 1812, where the likes of Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Hannibal Lector await your presence.  Do you like clowns? 

Enjoy food, drinks and our famous hot chocolate for a night fit for the entire family.  Come early and bring your Halloween-spirit for some fun and fright at the Edgemere-Sparrows Point Haunted Dungeons!

Waiting areas and bypass points are provided for families with children too young to experience the Dungeons.  Program operation subject to weather.

'Kids Trick-or-Treat Night' (last Saturday of operation) invites our little friends to the park for a guided tour from our not-so-scary hosts. Best part, IT'S FREE!!!!  Bring a bag and your best costume! 

'County Employee Appreciation Night' invites all of our county employees (teachers, police, fire-fighters, etc...) to attend our event at a discounted price!
