	During the 2017 season Lagoon started teasing the show as being new for Frightmares. A sign was placed near Game Time with a picture of a woman ~~with~~ a doll, the word Séance, and the question "Can you keep a secret?" Not much was revealed about the show, and the sign was the only indicator that something was coming. Before Frightmares opened for the year, a new door appeared on the wall to the north of Game Time with a speaker over it. The Séance sign was moved closer to the door indicating that this would be the entrance to the new show.

			== Facade ==

			For the show's initial season, the theater was accessed through a simple door with two dead potted plants on either side of it located at the end of a former midway game building. For the 2018 season an all-new spooky house facade was built around the building creating the impression that this door is the front door to the house. The facade appears to have been partially based on commercially available dollhouses. At night, light emits from the house's windows. A ticket booth for the show was also built into the facade, previously tickets were purchased at the Dippin' Dots stand near the show's entrance.

	Each performance allows for around 35 to 40 guests, which means shows are limited. Lagoon does charge extra for the show to keep demand down. Four guests are picked during each show to participate in the Séance and are seated around the table up front, and the rest of the audience sits on a small set of bleachers facing the stage. Guests are not allowed to get up or leave once the show has started for safety reasons. Due to the high-fear content of the show, it is not recommended for younger audiences or those who scare easily. It was reported during the first year that some participants were brought to tears during the performance.		=== Finished Facade ===
