Downtown Panama City Prepares for Fright Nights: Dreamwalkers This October

2

Fright Nights Dreamwalkers (15)

The Raven Queen is haunted — not by ghosts, but by consequence. Years of dark magic, taken freely and never repaid, have drawn the attention of something ancient and impartial. The Collector does not negotiate. He does not forgive. He has been living inside her ever since, a darkness you may have already encountered without knowing what it truly was.

Now she comes to you. Desperate. Humble, even. She needs dreamwalkers to enter her subconscious, travel through the wreckage of her memories, and uncover the full measure of her debt — so she can pay it, and be free. You agree. Of course, you agree.

Prepare for another season of screams as Fright Nights: Dreamwalkers, an immersive haunted experience, returns to downtown Panama City. This highly anticipated event, presented by the Bay Arts Alliance and taking place at the iconic Panama City Center for the Arts in Historic Downtown Panama City, promises another spine-tingling experience, bringing back moments of Fright Nights past, from the Carnival of Souls to the atrocities summoned by the Faceless.

The Raven Queen, created by Jayson Kretzer and brought to life by Misty Joy, has played an important role in the haunted experiences at the Center for the Arts. The character, along with her giant spider minion, Iktomi, have captivated imaginations and weaved a web of suspense for the community. In this closing chapter of Fright Nights, the Raven Queen forges an alliance with the citizens of Panama City, revealing her humanity as she seeks to protect the world she once terrorized.

“Watching the Raven Queen evolve over the past six years has been incredibly rewarding. What began as a haunted attraction has grown into a living mythology that many of our guests return to year after year. This year’s story is everything we’ve learned coming together in one experience. It’s immersive, emotional, unsettling, and, in my opinion, the best Fright Nights yet,” says Jayson Kretzer, Executive Director of the Bay Arts Alliance.
