Overview of Kill 'N Fill Garage Storyline

Fueled by evil, killers have taken over the abandoned Kill 'N Fill Garage, and what goes on behind the rusted chain link fence is sure to send sparks flying. Wander through the junkyard before entering the grease-stained mechanics bay and becoming lost within the office. As you make your way to the boiler room, beware… the screams start when the engines die.

Visitors to the Kill 'N Fill Garage will find the haunted house in the Midway America region of Hersheypark next to Wildcat's Revenge beyond the Midway of Misery.

The abandoned gas station trope found in many horror and thriller movies serves as the setting of the latest Dark Nightshaunted house. However, guests who wander the seemingly abandoned garage will find it well inhabited. Each area from the shop exterior to the car wash are well-detailed with mechanical misery.

Inspiration Behind the Kill 'N Fill Garage Concept

Having once owned an abattoir, which served as the inspiration behind the Auntie Mortem's Abattoir haunted house, Hershey Estates (now Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company) also owned gas stations. These classic mid-century full service stations that were iconic not only here in Hershey, but across America served as an overflowing source of inspiration for Kill 'N Fill Garage.

Haunted House Construction Updates

Construction of Kill 'N Fill Garage started soon after the end of the 2024 Dark Nights season. The same space that once housed The Descent haunted house has been completely transformed to capture the spirit of the vintage gas station. Guests will see this spirit in action as soon as they approach the entrance to the house, which will be the first to feature an entirely custom-built facade. Once inside, visitors will feel truly immersed with hundreds of pieces of automotive decor, including some Hersheypark easter eggs! Additionally, many props found within the house are recycled, which include over 350 recycled tires, including many from our maintenance fleet, and vintage tools and equipment reclaimed from the various buildings of Hersheypark.
