#ScaryFarm Still Spooking Spectators

Playful monsters, sinister clowns, ghosts, goblins, you name it – can be found lurking this year around Knott’s Scary Farm’s 44th annual Halloween haunt. My husband has been attending since the 17th year and it just keeps getting better. This is definitely not something for younger kids. Middle school age children will probably do just fine. Our kids still don’t feel like they are quite ready. Some mazes are intense and the shows are for mature audiences, but the experience is definitely a fun vibe all around.

Knott's Scary Farm

Special Ops: Infected: This was the best version of the Special Ops maze to date.  It is now a single maze, just line up and wait your turn to go into combat to fight zombies.  The new attraction is one of the largest mazes ever created in Knott’s Scary Farm history and it is definitely an action packed, one-of-a-kind experience.

Shadow Lands: This maze was the most unique ever seen at Knott’s Scary Farm. We embarked on a quest through a sacred shrine, an ancient Japanese temple and into the midst of the shadow lands. Crazy special effects and you might get a little wet!

Shadow Lands

Red Barn: We wandered cautiously through a blood-soaked barn filled with carnivorous animals seeking to prey on human flesh in the Red Barn gore maze. This one was gory and the talent were really fun! I’m not including pictures because everything was graphic. Just use your imagination! So below, I’ve included some evil monkeys instead.

Must haves for your visit: Fright Lane and Skeleton Key – these get you front of the line access to the mazes and rollercoasters. It also gives you exclusive entry into the Skeleton Key rooms which provide a mini spookshow for visitors. Friday and Saturday nights become quite busy and you will really limit your experience if you don’t have the Fright Lane wristband. There is not a single maze or show you want to miss.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

Must experience: Infected, Shadow Lands, Paranormal Inc., The Red Barn and of course, Elvira and her Danse Macabre show. Elvira is ageless!
