Best Local Halloween Attractions: Last Weekend This Year...

Field of Terror... (fieldofterror.com)


Fill up your October weekends with haunted trails, haunted houses, wagon rides, and cornfields. This attraction is amazing. There are plenty of weekends to fill up in October, and there's not a more appropriate way to spend them. At Field of Terror, there are excellent attractions: a 6-acre walk through a haunted corn field, the Field of Terror Killer Kornfield; the Unknown Haunted Barn; the Zombie Attack Haunted Hayride; and Dementia 3D. All are great and here are more details:



The Zombie Attack Haunted Hayride...

This is a haunted hayride into the dark unknown. Being with a large group is so enjoyable. The ride is very long with lots of scary, surprising moments. Some are obvious... others aren't. The sets are nice and there's a cool "vortex tunnel," towards the end, a spinning tunnel. 



Killer Kornfield..

.This 6-acre walk through a haunted corn field will delight, scare, and impress you around every turn. This is not really a maze, it's more of a walk, but a fun one. They did an excellent job setting this up and you really get your money's worth because it goes on and on and on (in a fantastic way). There are a few truly amazing surprises and frights that I won't mention because they're awesome, so you'll have to go and see them for yourself. It's one of the longest attractions you'll see of this sort, with a diversity of scares over a long period. The atmosphere is wonderful and feels very remote. You'll feel like you've been isolated in the middle of nowhere. You'll be shoved in confined spaces and "harrassed." And at the end you'll go through a claustrophobic tunnel where you'll need to escape. Loved it. 
 

The Unknown Haunted Barn...

They will prey upon your fears one sense at a time. This is their best attraction and a great way to end the night. All of the elements create a superb haunted attraction...light, sound, atmosphere, timing, along with a booming, heavy metal soundtrack that adds to the overall feel. You will have to crawl your way through at one point and there are lots of false exits with choices to make. The actors will obviously torment you, and you'll love every minute of their attention. And the strobe lights create an eerie illusion of being alone in an endless back-to-back tunnel to top it off. 



Dementia 3D...

This 3D walk of terror will reach out and GRAB YOU! It's another "Frighttour Frighty Winner"! 

It just doesn't get better than this for a great Halloween treat. Walk though the haunted house while wearing a pair of 3D glasses and encounter frights as you never have before. This attraction is enjoyable and unique, and the younger kids will love it!

If all of that wasn't enough, there is also a lot more entertainment when you're finished (or they're finished with you) with their attractions. There's a Bonfire and DJ rockin the house nightly and lots of great refreshments to choose from. Don't miss out on their fried oreos. They're to die for, along with everything else, including you! It's a great spot to gather after each attraction to have a quick snack and get the troops back together to reenergize and get ready for the next amusing scare. Another great night out! 

One last event you won't want to miss: Zombie Mud Run, hosted by Field of Terror.

Zombie Mud Run at Field of Terror... (thezombiemudrun.com)

Zombie Mud Run is as fun as it gets. It's a 5K obstacle mud run (extremely popular nowadays). But this one is even better because you're navigating the run with zombies, making it more exciting than ever! You don't have to be an avid runner to join in on the fun, but we promise that you will have a heart pounding, adrenaline racing day. You can sign up as a participant, as a zombie who wreaks havoc on the humans trying to get to the Green Zone (how cool is that), a participant dressed as a zombie, or just go as a spectator. If you survive and make it to the end, which we hope that you do, you will be rewarded with music, food, drinks, beer (for those 21 and over), medical supplies (if needed) and more fun. There's not a better reason to get out of the house, get some exercise, and have a heck of a day out.
