A Christmas Nightmare at Dent Schoolhouse Photo: Provided by Dent Schoolhouse

It’s a holiday house of horrors at the Dent Schoolhouse as it transforms from a Halloween attraction into “A Christmas Nightmare” for two days only.

On Dec. 9 and 10, Charlie the Janitor becomes Santa (Satan?) Charlie and welcomes in a slew of ghouls including Krampus, Mrs. Claws and some evil elves — all bent on terrifying visitors instead of bringing cheer.

The halls may be decked with Christmas garlands and lights, but harbingers of yuletide destruction have taken over to “bring a grizzly twist on this beloved holiday,” says Dent.

Expect frights, fun and some freaky festive photo ops.

Admission is on the hour, every hour from 6-9 p.m. Dec. 9 and 10. Tickets are $30, $50 for a fast-pass and $60 for front of line.

The Dent Schoolhouse is located at 5963 Harrison Ave., Dent. More info and tickets: dentschoolhouse.com.
