The Reaper's Dungeon started out as a Haunted House attraction through the Colleton County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officers Division and the Colleton County Sheriff's Office Explorer's Post #660. It was created as a fundraiser for the SROs to attend their annual South Carolina School Resource Officers annual convention, as well as raise money for the Explorer Post. The first attraction was held in 2010 at the current sheriff's office. In 2011, it moved to the old sheriff's office (the Breland Building) and given its offical name. The Breland Building was being demolished in 2013 and a suitable replacement building could not be located for the 2013 haunt.
In 2014, a deal was struck with the Cottageville Revitalization Committee and the haunt,which was no longer affiliated with the Colleton County Sheriff's Office,
moved its home to the old Cottageville Elementary School on the grounds of the Cottageville Municipal Complex. On Feb. 27th, 2018, mere weeks beforewe were going to move out of the old Cottageville Elementary School where we had 95% of our props, set, etc. stored, a massive fire burned the building to the ground. But like a Pheonix, werose from the ashes to rebuild.
For the 2018 haunt season, we relocated to the Colleton County Recreation Complexwhere we have plenty of room for future expansion.
Everyone who is a part of the Reaper's Dungeon enjoys it thoroughly. Not because they get to scare the daylights out of you, but because they get to see some of the good they are doing in the process. We strive to not be in it for the money. Instead, we donate portions to the , Colleton County High School NJROTC, other small charities, and local fundraisers.
