The Army Military Base will be hosting an interactive asylum-themed horror maze experience.

5. Soul Screams Haunted House
Party City presents Soul Screams Haunted House, a project they’ve been working on for 10 years now. It takes a twist on what a haunted house is, and converts it into a tour across a haunted forest. The experience consists of 40 to 50 minutes of sheer terror and introduces you to different stages, like: Deadly Mutants, FrikSho! and The Witches Ritual II. This event takes place in El Jardín Botánico y Cultural in Caguas and will be available only on the weekends from September 30 until November 5. The activity usually starts at 7:00 p.m., but the time may vary depending on the dates available online. The tickets are found on Ticketera at $30 per person.
