The Bernal Scream haunted attraction is proud to announce its 2024 season return!
Father and son duo Mike and Abel Barrera, started The Bernal Scream as a free show in their backyard in 2013. Over the next couple years The Bernal Scream would see thousands of people, countless terrifying scares, TV news coverage and endless online articles. Riding the momentum of this ongoing build of success it was finally time to take The Bernal Scream out of their backyard and into the commercial spotlight. In 2016 the father and son duo had managed to cement it’s name as one of the Bay Area’s premier commercial haunted attractions. Their breakout show “Satan’s Revenge” would raise the bar and instill a new kind of fear to the scene. Thousands more would turn out that year to experience this special show for themselves. Following their success in 2016, the duo would take some time off to spend time as a family. During that period however, their lives would change forever when Father/Co-Founder Abel Barrera was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. The passing of their father ( Co-Founder) Abel Barrera would rock the family down to the core. Prior to Abel Barrera’s passing, The duo would spend their remaining time together building for what should have been the next haunted attraction. It was the duo’s dream to see the return of The Bernal Scream haunted house. Since the passing of Co-Founder (Abel Barrera) and with his blessing, Son (Mike Barrera) has continued on the dream of finishing what the duo started together all of those years ago. In 2023 The Bernal Scream announced it’s long awaited return after seven long years with an all new show named Lucifer’s wrath wich took south San Jose by storm. The show was to become the attraction’s most successful event to date at that time. The attraction would also see a new addition to the team recruiting Mike Barrera’s brother Christian Gaspar. Gaspar joined in as operations manager in 2023 to honor their father Abel Barrera’s memory and help bring the dream to life. Now here we are once again in 2024 with the return of The Bernal Scream’s biggest and newest haunted attraction presenting the darkest, meanest and the most twisted skull breaker of a show yet, “Soul Shredder”. Opening September 20- November 3rd 2024.
