2023 was my first year at Scary Farm, so I don’t have the nostalgia that many long-time attendees have. I understand that this is a classic, but to me, it’s by far the most forgettable. Half of Knott’s is already themed like the old west, so you’re not getting any unique atmosphere by going inside. This had the longest wait, and was the only maze we didn’t do twice. To be honest, I don’t think we would have done it a second time even if there was no line. It’s not terrible, but there are so many better haunts at this event. Don’t waste your time here.

An absolute classic not only in its significance to the event, but in its storytelling and impressive set design. Talent is always on-point in bringing the story of Sarah Marshall and the cursed citizens of Calico to life.

As one of the older mazes, Origins still stands out as one of the best, offering a peek into the past at the source of all the madness happening at Knott's Scary Farm: the hanging of Sarah Marshall aka The Witch. The special effects remain impressive, and the climax at meeting the witch herself still sends a joyful chill down my spine.

Origins has become one of my favorite mazes through the years. I love the bits of history about Knotts and Sarah Marshall, the original witch of Calico, scattered throughout the maze. The set designs in each space was amazing and a lot of cool spaces for Scareactors to use. There are some great “wow” moments I don’t want to spoil. They do use a lot of multimedia throughout the maze, which is alright, but it was sometimes overpowering. Wait til you see Sarah!

Great maze, with good story telling and epic changes of scenery. You will find this in most knotts mazes as the formula. The sets are awesome and the terrain changes so there’s plenty to look at. This one specifically has some great wow moments.
