Killer Klowns From Outer Space [Season 2026]Halloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI wanted to like this but it was just alright. I love Killer Klowns but it didn’t really meet my expectations. It’ll probably do better as a scare zone.
Dead Deader DeadestHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI was probably most disturbed by this one because I’ve experienced many visits with funeral homes. Definitely creeped out with some of the props, set design, and smell. It really brought me to those rough times. I’m not hating on the house. It’s a cool original concept from Universal
Stranger Things 5Halloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis was first house of the night and it did not disappoint. I finished season 5 not too long ago so a lot of the scenes that were reenacted were fresh in my mind so it was exciting reliving some those epic scenes. The pacing was great for us. We didn’t feel left out.
SinnersHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis was one of favorite houses this year. Mostly because of the glowing eyes and some of the iconic scenes played out. The pacing in the maze could be controlled better. There were moments that stopped the flow but it was not too big of a deal. If this one comes back, they should build it somewhere else in the park.
HellraiserHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI grew up watching this so seeing this in the flesh was pretty awesome! The pacing with the talent was really good. I felt like they were ganging up on me. I don’t scare easily but I did love the attention.
Ozzy Osborne: Prince of DarknessHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThe was a good tribute for Ozzy and it was a great production. The scaractors had a lot of energy and their pacing was really good. I felt like I was always in the right place at the right time!!!
KillceañeraHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI really like this one. Classic revenge story!!! I love the music and all the different monsters she summons to kill her bullies.
Evil Dead BurnHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI haven’t seen the movie so I’m not sure what was going on. This was probably towards the bottom of my list but it wasn’t bad. The Scareactors were good as usual but the scenes just felt too redundant. Also the mask for the male Scareactors could be better.
A XMas Horror Story - Closing Oct 4Eulogy CollectiveHauntHaunted houseNot at the same level as Knotts Scary Farm or Horror Nights but still fun. Can’t wait to see how this place evolves.
TerrifierHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis is my favorite. Unlike most of their talent in their other mazes, Art interacts with you because he seeks acknowledgement. He also roams around outside. Everyone was worried about getting drenched but it was just a small squirt here and there.
Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin AmericaHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThere were some really great fx in this one. I still remember some of the moving props from La Llorona.
Jason UniverseHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThe wait for this sucked. Not only was there a long Express Pass, there was also groups skipping ahead of them. Set design was cool. One quick murder scene in particular earned an applause from everyone in the room! The only problem with this maze was it just felt like a bunch of rooms with talent acting out scenes and relying on cues.
Five Nights at Freddy'sHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseMy first impression is it’s super short. The length should double in size! The set design was cool especially the whole gang. The timing for me could have been better. I would always see them resetting. I didn’t get a one-on-one experiences with any of the gang.
PoltergeistHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseI wanted to like this but it fell short for me. There were a lot of black walls in this one. I don’t get that. Are we asleep? I did like the coffins though
FalloutHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis felt like a behind the scenes walking tour of the show where each room was a stage where actors perform the same scenes over and over again. I had to enjoy this in a different lens. This did not feel like a Haunt experience.
WidowsKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThis is my favorite maze this year! Knotts outdid themselves with this production quality. The interactions we had with a lot of the actors was great. The only thing I didn’t like was it got really humid in a few parts of the maze.
Mesmer: Sideshow Of The MindKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseMesmer had a preshow in the past and it made the experience a lot better. It’s still a great maze. Its a bit like a funhouse you see at fairs. There were a handful of fun interactions I had with the Scareactors throughout the maze and a couple “wow” factors too. The crew working line control did a great job leaving gaps within the maze so that the Scareactors could spend quality time with the Guests. I never noticed it in the past but at the end there’s these props on the wall you could spin and the strobe lights in the room will reveal an animation on the props, kinda like a zoetrope but it’s a wheel instead — cool little detail!
Wax Works - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThis wasn’t one of my favorite mazes at first but through the years it grew on me. It’s definitely an underrated one. I heard a rumor that this will be it’s last year at Knott’s Scary Farm. Nothing really scared me but the Scareactors really tried and I’m grateful for that. What I really enjoyed were the set designs and props. They had one of the creepiest animatronics. I had to slow down just to take it all in.
The Grimoire - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThe first time I experienced this maze it was cool. The actors in the preshow were always exciting to watch and it was giving a Stranger Things vibe. There’s a bit of time traveling as you transition through each space and it was fun to experience as a whole. I don’t know what was wrong this year because it didn’t feel the same. The set designs were great but also a bit bland because of the theme they were going for. There was really no “Wow” factor. The energy of the maze ramped down towards the end. I don’t know what was going on in the maze that night because we were at a standstill a few times and we could tell it made the Scareactors and actors feel awkward and it kinda ruined the mood. Don’t be discouraged from this review, it’s still a fun maze. Pay attention to the great storytelling.
Bloodline 1842 - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted house2023 is Bloodlines second year at Knotts Scary Farm and featured a unique experience that was sadly removed this year. When it debuted, Guest were vampire hunters and were given weapons of their choice. It was a fun experience but I heard Scareactors were actually getting hurt so they were removed this year. Since I’ve experienced that, this years Bloodline kinda fell short. There used to be moments where actors would perform a monologue before entering other parts of the maze, but now they’re just standing there and trying. Don’t let that discourage you from checking it out, we still had fun.
