The Final Hour in 2026: Five Seasons, Five Addresses, Back on Oddie Boulevard
Sparks' family-run slasher haunt has moved every year since 2022. What to expect at its new home, what tickets actually cost, the Lights Out night, and its new sister haunt at Lake Tahoe.
Most haunted houses spend years in one building. The Final Hour has had five addresses in five seasons, and for 2026 it’s back on the street where it started. Kyle Walters’ family-run haunt opens October 2 at 2350 Oddie Boulevard in Sparks, a short walk from the former CVS at 2300 Oddie where it launched in 2022.
If you’ve been before, update your map pin. Here’s the whole run:
- 2022: a former CVS at 2300 Oddie Blvd, Sparks, $20 at the door
- 2023: Brierley Way in Sparks, behind Wild Island
- 2024: the old Sears space at Meadowood Mall
- 2025: a warehouse on Deming Way in Sparks
- 2026: 2350 Oddie Blvd, Sparks
Who runs it
The Final Hour is a family operation. Walters owns it, and when a local blogger visited last season, his mother was working the front office and explained that her son had dreamed of running his own haunt since he was a kid. Walters answers his own Yelp reviews, and reviewers regularly praise the friendly family staff. Two separate guests in 2023 wrote about being walked back through the haunt with a flashlight to find a lost phone.
What’s inside
The operator bills the new building at 25,000 square feet and promises immersive scare rooms, live actors, and new scenes for 2026, though it hasn’t published a scene list. Past seasons give a good idea of the style. Reviewers describe a labyrinth of themed rooms that you walk mostly alone with your group while actors follow you, about 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish. Last year’s run included a section built around a nun and ended with Art the Clown from the Terrifier films chasing groups out the exit with a chainsaw.
Expect jump scares, strobes, and dark stairs near the end, and dress warm, since the line waits outside. The haunt doesn’t recommend it for kids under 8.
Nights and tickets
The Final Hour runs Thursday through Saturday from October 2 to 31, 8 pm to midnight, plus a Lights Out night on Sunday, November 1. Tickets are sold for hourly entry windows, and the last admission is at 11 pm, the latest in the Reno area.
Prices depend on where you look. The haunt’s website lists $30 general admission and $60 VIP, but online checkout currently charges $35 for GA and $50 for VIP, plus about $2 in fees. A Facebook promo code, Finalhour5, takes $5 off each ticket. VIP buys front-of-line access, the ticket page warns that prices go up at the door, and every ticket comes with a coupon for the crew’s holiday light maze, coming to Sparks in December.
Lights Out
The last night of the season is the one regulars circle. On November 1, The Final Hour runs the whole haunt with the lights off. It started on October 30, 2022, as a one-night “Halloween Eve” event where guests found their way with glow sticks, and the haunt billed it as the area’s first lights-out haunted house. Tahoe Terror runs its own Lights OUT night the same evening.
What reviewers say
The Final Hour holds a 4.6 Google rating across 52 reviews, and it placed 20th nationally in ScurryFace’s 2024 fan vote for haunts, which the haunt celebrated as being voted the best haunt in Nevada by fans. Reviewers most often praise actors who stay in character and well-timed jump scares. The complaints are about lines: on busy 2025 nights, some guests waited an hour or more despite timed tickets. Thursdays are the smoother night, and VIP is worth it on a Saturday.
The sister haunt at Lake Tahoe
This season the crew opened a second haunt. Tahoe Terror runs inside the Opal Ultra Lounge at Bally’s Lake Tahoe, designed and run by general manager Chris Setser, a Tahoe native with 15 years as a scare actor whom Walters asked to build a haunt at the lake. Setser told the Tahoe Daily Tribune that every haunted house has its own personality and his won’t copy The Final Hour. It runs Friday and Saturday nights through October, 8 pm to midnight, with tickets at $28 online.
Make it an Oddie Boulevard night
The Final Hour’s new home sits on an accidental haunt row. BooVille and Macabre Manor runs at 2300 Oddie, with indoor trick-or-treating for little kids and a scare-actor manor for everyone else; KOLO’s tour this month found butcher shops, swamps, catacombs, and a spider room. The Generator’s haunted mini-golf opens October 16 at 2450 Oddie, with artist-built holes, a haunted gallery show, and a bar. BooVille’s slots start at 3:30 pm and the mini-golf opens at 5, so a mixed-age group can do both before The Final Hour opens at 8.
