ARTfactory’s four-story haunted attraction is returning to downtown Manassas this October with a new immersive storyline, Factory of Fear: Outbreak, the organization said in a release.
The annual fundraiser transforms the historic ARTfactory building into a walk-through experience built around infection, quarantine and chaos, with live scare actors, special effects and new sets on each floor, according to the release. Proceeds support ARTfactory and its accessible arts programming.

Prince William supervisors unanimously denied Dominion Energy’s Vint Hill switching-station upgrade, left-turn restrictions start Friday at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road, and Manassas is weighing a scaled-back November First Friday after a Monday town hall.
According to InsideNoVa, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously opposed Dominion Energy’s gas-insulated switching station planned for just over 23 acres at 13405 Vint Hill Road, next to Braemar in the Brentsville District. The board had deferred the special use permit 90 days on June 23 after supervisors said Dominion had not provided enough information.
