Fright Fest haunted attractions
The Winchester House is spooky all year long, of course, but it’s no surprise that business picks up in the month of October. House management offers a special, extra ghostly candlelit night tour this time of year. After 27 years, Pirates of Emerson at the Alameda County Fairgrounds is the longest tenured haunt to moor itself in the bay. This year the place packs fives haunts back to back to back to back to back, and although usually only a weekend excursion they’re open for some extra midweek dates the nights before and of Halloween.

At the end of the 1978 season, the attraction was disassembled and sent to Six Flags Over Mid-America, where it would continue to run from 1979 through 1982. A medieval-styled façade was built for the Haunted Castle on the site of the Alpen Blitz across from the Muzik Express. Many Six Flags parks are offering special spooky shows and frightfully fun events to celebrate. Between rides and attractions, you can come to sit down and enjoy a haunted performance.

Enter the realm of InFESTed, where spiders and infected exterminators lurk in the darkness. Apple picking, fall colors, supernatural tours, haunted houses...and of course, Fright Fest.

Haunt fans won't have to wait until late summer to get their scream on in Southern California this year. Six Flags Magic Mountain's new Scream Break event will run 9pm to midnight on Friday through Sunday nights, starting on March 18. If you’re still trying to dig up some plans for Halloween night, the Bay Area features a buffet of hallowed haunts ranging from the charmingly amateur to Hollywood grade.
Mapping the Bay Area’s scariest haunted attractions
Six Flags has a lot of fine cuisines that will keep you full and satisfied while you’re getting your scare on. Snacks like popcorn, pretzels, and ice cream are available everywhere. You can also get something more substantial like turkey legs, burgers, and barbecue at many locations. Six Flags Over Mid-America was the third park to introduce Fright Nights in 1988 with Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street as the event's "entertainment chairman". The all-new Fright Nights featured House of the Living Dead, a walk-through inside of the ride building for the Time Tunnel dark ride, as well as the "Terror Train", a horror train show on the Tommy G. Robertson Railroad. I am absolutely fascinated to see how the attendance turns out for this.
I also wouldn't be surprised if this is being used as a trial to test the viability of making Fright Fest a full upcharge event the way all of SoCal's other theme park haunt events are. Getting haunted can be murder on your budget, but Great America actually allows you to buy seasonal haunt tickets on an installment plan. The lineup features eight different haunted houses ranging from a wax museum to a homicidal corn maze.
Six Flags ‘Fright Fest' Ramping Up Scares Through October
Beginning in September, you can experience the events that have packed in crowds for over 35 years. Whether you want to get your pants scared off or have some fun the whole family can enjoy, come out to Fright Fest! I will be curious to see how this works out for SFMM, because I don't sense a huge amount of haunt interest in the spring. Obviously making this a hard ticket event allows them to get reliable data on interest and demand, but I would worry that the park will be deserted on some night with the park trimming whatever they can on slow nights to try to break even.
Some of the park's rides also have some frightening updates, such as the Scarousel and roller coasters in the dark. A seasoned traveller, Dad, and avid sports tourist, James foundered The Family Vacation Guide to share his expert vacation experiences- especially when it comes to being a travelling family man. My “TFVG Most Popular of the Six Flags Parks” award goes to Magic Mountain. For 2023 there’s the addition of Saw X and The Conjuring; both based on the hit movies, and sure to scare the living Jigsaw out of you. Catch a few “Spirits” at Full Throttle Sports Bar for Spirits with Spirits– one for the adults. Those looking to get haunted on a budget can dig up a trip to the Rebel Yell funeral home haunt in San Jose, allegedly the home of Doctor Von Braun’s experiments on the dead since the haunt’s premiere in 2000.

The criminal trial began in New Jersey Superior Court in Toms River on May 29, 1985. The prosecution argued that repeated warnings by safety consultants to install sprinklers or smoke alarms had been ignored. The defendants denied any culpability, and contended that the fire was arson and that no precautions would have saved lives. Various terrifyingly themed haunted attractions will be available to experience for an additional fee. "Six Flags Fright Fest is an important part of our passion to thrill guests and exceed their expectations," said Six Flags Chief Marketing Officer Edithann Ramey. In 1989, Fright Nights debuted at Six Flags Over Texas.[6] Like the parks in Texas and Missouri, Freddy Krueger was the central figure of the event.
Fright Fest is free and included with park admission at most parks. Some premium haunts require an additional haunted house attraction pass or special Fright Fest ticket. For more information as well as operating dates, hours and rates, please visit sixflags.com.
It featured haunted houses, a trick or treat trail for kids, and more. Scream Break will offer two haunted mazes and three scare zones, "all with a chilling Spring Break twist," according to the park. DJs will be playing in DC Universe and the Full Throttle Plaza, while special food and drinks - including sangria blood bags and syringe jello shots - will be available for sale. Several coasters will be running during the event as well, including the new Wonder Woman Flight of Courage, Full Throttle, Goliath, Batman The Ride, Twisted Colossus, and Scream. One of the most popular attractions at all of the Six Flags parks is Fright Fest.
The Haunted Castle was a haunted attraction at Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park in Jackson Township, New Jersey. The original Haunted House was built prior to the fall "shoulder season"[1] of 1978 to boost attendance and as a test for building a larger facility the following year. While it was intended that it be open only at night, the popularity of the attraction caused management to open it at the beginning of the day and keep it open until the park closed.
Six Flags Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® is ready to make guests scream in horror or delight. Family-friendly events and seasonal décor make the daylight hours a fun and special experience for families. When dusk approaches, the ghouls come out, making it an appropriate time for those who are easily scared to make their exit. Select rides and attractions are open throughout the park and nothing is scarier than tackling a monster coaster in the dark.
Fright Fest, Six Flags Great America's spookiest celebration is back at the Gurnee amusement park for its 31st terrifying season with haunted houses, live performances, spooky scare zones, rides after dark and more. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment (WBDGTE), part of Warner Bros. WBDGTE is home to the groundbreaking locations of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal theme parks around the world, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, The WB Abu Dhabi, The FRIENDS Experience, The Game of Thrones Studio Tour and countless other experiences inspired by the Wizarding World, DC, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Game of Thrones, FRIENDS and more.
There are three scare zones where you might want to watch your back, as characters creep around along the walking paths. Twisted Pictures, a division of Evolution Entertainment, formed by Mark Burg and Oren Koules is a leading horror and thriller film entertainment studio founded in 2004. Twisted Pictures has produced beloved brands that have garnered over $1 billion in global box office and $2 billion in ancillary market revenues, such as the SAW franchise, for audiences worldwide. If you are looking for something a little less frightening for the kids, Boo Fest will be available at all Six Flags locations every day. Kids under 13 are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes and have fun around the park. Join your favorite shadow cast, Flustered Mustard, in this interactive retelling of the classic musical at Six Flags over St. Louis.
In 2018, Fright Fest returned to Frontier City and Darien Lake (later renamed as Six Flags Darien Lake since May 4, 2019), two former Six Flags parks re-acquired by the company on May 22, 2018. I guess SF should be applauded for trying something new, but I think all this work coming up with new ways to make money should be spent on fixing their parks and operational issues so they can hold onto the few remaining fans they have left. The bulk of the action in Terror Vault takes place in a space behind the old vaults, including an unforgettable segment where guests are free/forced to wander the old brick corridors for themselves. New to the package this year are the Demon’s Lair and Scarecrows Hollow haunts, the latter of which is presumably even more effective if you happen to be a crow. The scares are getting ramped up for the month of October to get you in the spooky spirit.
