Nightmare on Barber Street

The Charitable Haunt – Hemphill Lions Club

Step into our maze of eerie corridors and theatrical scares as we transform 862 Barber Street into the Charitable Haunt, our annual fundraiser for local scholarships, vision assistance, and other community projects. Your $8 ticket unlocks full access to every spine-tingling room, crafted and staffed entirely by Hemphill Lions Club volunteers.

When: Every Saturday night in October—and on Halloween—7 PM – 9 PM
Where: 862 Barber Street, Hemphill, TX (behind Chance Construction)
Tickets: $8 (credit cards accepted)

Expect professional sets, immersive sound, and live performers who keep the thrills coming from the moment you enter until you burst back into the night air. Because every scream supports our service work, you’ll leave knowing you helped neighbors in need as much as you terrified your friends.

Important: The attraction uses fog, strobe lights, and other special effects. Do not enter if you suffer from asthma, heart conditions, seizure disorders, or other medical concerns.
