Bloodview

Bloodview is sponsored by the Broadview Hts Lions Club and is built and staffed by The Legion of Terror, the World's oldest improvisational horror acting, makeup, and special FX organization. The house is located in Broadview Hts Ohio, and is the only Charity Haunt in Cuyahoga County, a twenty minute drive from both Cleveland and Akron, and well worth the trip. Bloodview is more than a Haunted House, it is a Haunted Experience, The NEW cemetary path leads you through the Haunted Woods through the vortex into the Main House. From the moment you cross the archway, you will be surrounded by monsters, they interact with you, they hunt you, they entertain you. This is what sets Bloodview apart from other haunts in the area, to the Legion, this is not a "Job", it is the "Show", it is a performance, one with which you may interact, you’re not just a customer, you’re a guest and an audience member. Every Actor is a Volunteer, there are no salaries, or hourly wages, they do it to entertain you the audience member. The Lions donate all proceeds of the haunted house to various charities local/national/international. Please be aware that the show can be graphic and is not recommend for those with heart conditions, expecting mothers, children under 8 years old, or anyone with an adverse reaction to strobes and artificial fog. We are open rain or shine, we have a covered waiting area, plenty of parking, food vendors and bathroom facilities on site. So if you want to have a good time this October, come out to Bloodview Haunted House, The Fear Lives Here!
In a world where holidays are increasingly being taken over for profit, at Halloween one place stands out – Bloodview Heights Haunted House. Sponsored by the Broadview Heights Lions Club, whose motto is “We Serve”, Bloodview has been scaring for a good cause for 28 years, and has raised nearly $2 million for charity. Most haunted attractions are run strictly for profit, but Bloodview has always been – and will always be – non-profit. The Legion of Terror, who produce the show for the Lions, also do it for charity – and the love of the art of horror acting, makeup and set design. This year, the Lions and the Legion are proud to present a new attraction at Bloodview, “The Gore House.” Named as an homage to the original Lion’s “Giant Gore House” of the 1980’s, the Gore House joins the newly redesigned Cemetery Woods and the original Haunted House to give customers three different attractions for one low admission price – and “More Gore Than Ever Before!” The show itself, as always, is different every night – the talented actors and artists of the Legion of Terror create new characters using Hollywood-style special effect make-up and use no masks, no scripts, just improv acting skills and twisted imagination. The oldest haunted attraction troupe in the world, The Legion of Terror has been helping raise money for charity since 1985. Their dedication to both philanthropy and the art of the scare is seen not only in their work at Bloodview, but in their services to groups like Students Against Drunk Drivers, creating crash victims for mock accidents at pre-prom presentations. Some of the troupe have gone on to professional work in the entertainment industry due to skills learned and honed volunteering with the Legion of Terror. Bloodview Haunted House has been a leader in the haunted attraction industry for years, bringing a level of professionalism to the “charity haunt” arena usually only seen in big for-profit concerns. Theme weekends with spontaneous group acts outside in the lot, monsters roaming the parking lot, and the creative use of set design and makeup and costuming are just some of the areas where Bloodview still stands above the competition. Bloodview Haunted House is the main fund-raiser for the Broadview Heights Lions Club, which has been serving on local, state and international levels for over 30 years. One of the most active clubs in Ohio, the Broadview Heights Lions invest about $40,000 each year in local projects for the betterment of the community.
