Valentine’s Day Massacre
Moxley Manor, Bedford, TX
February 14 – 16, 8pm to 10pm
Introducing a different and darker side to love, Moxley Manor will be presenting a three-day haunted house. Groups of 20 or more are eligible for discount tickets so this is a great option for a group of friends.
There have been many stories about the haunted Moxley Manor and the actual mansion has remained uninhabited for many years due to the stories of jealousy, lies, and murder. If the typical Valentine’s Day plans are not what you’re looking for, the haunted Valentine’s Day massacre may be a great alternative choice.
A portion of the proceeds from the events from this year will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Moxley Manor is an indoor attraction so tickets will be valid rain or shine. For more information, visit www.moxleymanor.com or call (682) 231-1313.
