This is a revolutionary concept in Halloween entertainment. Rather than a simple Haunted House, guests are treated to the ultimate in thrills and chills as they make their way through three completely different haunted attractions in a natural forest setting.

This year’s attractions will include Purgatory; at a half a mile in length, it is one of the country’s longest haunted attractions. Experience a thrilling hayride into a very creepy 1860s ghost town and The Legends of Dead Man’s Hollow. Come face to face with the horrors of the undead at Cemetery Hill.
