A holiday classic is coming back to Louisville's Kentucky Kingdom theme park this fall.

Kentucky Kingdom will host "Halloscream" events on weekend nights this October, the theme park announced Monday.

As Kentucky Kingdom celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, Park President and CEO Ed Hart said 2019 felt like the right time to bring back the Halloween-themed event.

"Since reopening Kentucky Kingdom in 2014, we've had many, many requests for the return of Halloscream," Hart said in a statement.

Few details were released Monday about this fall's events, which will be free to season pass holders. Kentucky Kingdom's release said a schedule, roster of events and ticket prices would all be provided in coming weeks.

But Hart said theme park attendees can expect "Halloscream" to look like it did in the 1990s – where wholesome, family fun by day gave way to a cast of ghouls and creepy characters in the park by night.

"Our staff is very excited about this – they can't wait," Hart added.
