Palm Coast’s ‘Hall of Terror’ is back, promising a spine-chilling experience inspired by the iconic ‘Friday the 13th’ franchise. Taking place at Fire Station 21, this annual haunted house event has become a highly anticipated tradition for locals and visitors alike.
Event Details
The ‘Hall of Terror’ will run on October 30 and 31 from 7 to 10 p.m. each night at Palm Coast Fire Station 21, located at 9 Corporate Drive. A special sensory-sensitive hour will be available from 6 to 7 p.m. for those who prefer a more comfortable atmosphere.

Community Involvement
Driscoll emphasized the importance of teamwork in organizing the show, with numerous volunteers contributing to its success. Promotional materials created by Patrick Appolonia help draw in an audience eager for unique Halloween entertainment.
