The Austin Elks Lodge was not large enough to contain the bone-chilling adventure that is BLOOD RITUAL! So it’s moving to a new location that brings one of Austin’s premiere haunted houses back to its roots.


This year’s SCARE for a CURE will take place on the grounds of Richard Garriott’s uncompleted new Britannia Manor off City Park Road in northwest Austin.


That’s right – SCARE for a CURE has moved!


While we are eternally grateful to the Elks at Austin Lodge #201, our event this year is so terrifying, so spectacular, that we had no choice but to find a location equally steeped in myth and legend!


Austin’s greatest interactive haunted adventure will take place where it all began.


Are you ready?


Join a team of paranormal researchers to explore the mysteries and horrors of Dunstan Castle. Experience a twisted tale of demons, blood-lust, and a vampire’s quest for world domination. Do you have the courage and wits to save humanity, or will you end up as a snack at their victory party?


From 1988-1994 Britannia Manor was famous for hosting the most elaborate haunted house in the country. Many of the volunteers who worked on Britannia Manor transferred Richard’s ideas as well as their talent and enthusiasm to support the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve in Austin by creating Wild Basin’s Haunted Trails from 1996 to 2005. In 2007, many of those volunteers came together again for SCARE for a CURE haunted house to support local charities.
