The Haunted Garage of Emmaus Asylum Presents · First Annual

Grim Rides Car Show

Saturday, October 3, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Roll into the haunted grounds of Emmaus Asylum for a day of chrome, horsepower, and cold-blooded chills. From the '71 Nova to the '69 Chevelle SS to the menacing '61 Caddy, the meanest classics in the region are clawing their way out of the shadows — and you're invited to bring yours.

Just $5 to enter your car. Park it, show it off, and see if it's got what it takes to survive the judging. The top 5 take home Grim Prizes: overnight paranormal investigations at the asylum, cash prizes, exclusive Grim Rides merch, and the coolest trophies you've ever laid eyes on.

Food trucks all day, haunted tours for $10 if you dare step inside, and live music by Anthem Band — the best of the '60s, '70s, and '80s.

Every entry, every tour, every bite helps keep the Haunted Emmaus Asylum alive. So to speak.

Finding the Asylum

19000 Emmaus Drive, Marthasville, MO 63357

  • 01When you reach the asylum you'll see a stone bridge. Turn onto the bridge and head straight in.
  • 02As the buildings come into view: the Church is on your immediate left, the Asylum (Setz Building) is straight ahead, and the Administration Building is on your right.
  • 03Drive past the Administration Building and make a right turn. Emmaus team members will be there to guide you — the parking lot is straight ahead.

House rules and safety live on the Visit page. Short version: no drugs, no alcohol, no jump scares, watch your footing. This is an at-your-own-risk event.
