BUENA PARK, Calif.,
Aug. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Knott's Scary Farm, the largest and most haunting
Halloween event in Southern California, has unveiled the 13
haunted attractions that will terrify guests when the event returns
for 24 horrifying nights, September
22 – October 31.
Four all-new nightmarish haunted attractions will debut
this year; each featuring unearthly surprises, ghoulish monsters
and frightening legends that come to life as you step inside.
Black Ops: Infected (New for 2016): Armed with cutting
edge laser guns, brave guests will face off against hordes of
zombies in the groundbreaking all-new Black Ops: Infected
interactive maze. Small units of guests will battle the zombie
apocalypse through blood soaked city streets and an underground
sewer system crawling with nearly one hundred ravenous zombies. The
high tech innovative experience thrusts guests into the middle of a
live-action video game complete with live actors, real time scoring
system, kill streak rewards system and interactive targets,
including a juggernaut boss zombie. The new attraction is one of
the largest mazes ever created in Knott's Scary Farm history so
form your squad and put your zombie apocalypse survival skills to
the test in this action packed, one-of-a-kind experience.
Shadow Lands (New for 2016): A fulfilling life ensures a
soul safe passage into eternity, but what happens to the souls of
soldiers slain in battle? Enter the hair-raising Shadow Lands maze
and fight off demon samurais whose souls are cursed to rot within
the depths of purgatory. Guests will embark on a quest through a
sacred shrine, an ancient Japanese temple and into the midst of the
shadow lands.
Red Barn (New for 2016): Take a trip to a blood-soaked
barn filled with carnivorous animals seeking to prey on human flesh
in the Red Barn gore maze. Legend has it the farmer who owns the
barn was transformed into a heinous creature that sends his
sadistic sons to ensure his legacy. None dare enter the barn, for
those who enter never escape.
The Hollow (New for 2016): From within the fog, the
legendary Headless Horseman and his army of the undead are ready to
unleash a reign of terror in the new scare zone, The Hollow. Guests
entering the frightful 6-acre area will be terrorized by the souls
of fallen soldiers and local farmers that have escaped their
shallow graves.
Standalone Skeleton Key Rooms (New for 2016): For the
first time, Knott's Scary Farm will feature standalone Skeleton Key
Rooms that are independent from mazes. The four Skeleton Key Rooms
will each feature a unique story and theme delivering unparalleled
scares, interactive secrets and terrifying
surprises:
Visions: Guests must
investigate the Green Witch Museum in Ghost Town where it is not
the building that is haunted, but the various items contained
within. Using a Phantom Finder augmented reality device, guests
will be able to identify and witness paranormal activity connected
to items from the Sarah Marshall Witch Trial.
ZOZO: People from all over
the world claim to have been visited by the demon ZOZO after a
spirit board session. Is the demonic entity known as ZOZO real or
are spirit boards just a myth?
Slasher: Guests are invited
to step into an 80s' slasher horror film. The masked Angel Maker Killer is on the loose. Every lead
has run cold and that's when you step into the picture. Will you
become his next victim?
Prey: Navigate a hay maze
full of dead ends with only a faulty lantern as your guide. You are
not alone. Mutant beasts are lurking around every corner.
Returning Favorites
Back by popular demand, Elvira, the legendary Mistress of the
Dark, returns to Knott's Scary Farm in a spectacular all new show,
Elvira's Danse Macabre, featuring insane dance and comedy
performances. The one of a kind performance from the Queen of
Halloween will transport guests to a
masquerade ball full of music, dance and humor. Knott's Scary Farm
will be the exclusive home of Elvira this Halloween season.
PARANORMAL, INC. - The Haunting of Hayden Hill: Last
year's groundbreaking Paranormal Inc. maze will return to Knott's
Scary Farm this year. Featuring high flying aerial stunts and
scares, guests investigate a haunted hospital where the patients
were tortured for decades by deranged doctors and nurses. Demonic
spirits of the murdered victims have been detected throughout the
mysterious halls, while evil medical staff prowl for new patients
to torture.
The Dead of Winter: Wendigo's Revenge - Deep in the
frozen tundra, the realm of a treacherous snow queen has been
usurped by her evil minion, the horrific wendigo. She may be dead,
but her evil spell hasn't been lifted: The dead cannibals have
risen from their snowy graves as hungry creatures feast on the
surrounding villages. During the chaos, the queen's prized
possession, the horrific wendigo, has seized control of her throne,
ready to prey upon any unsuspecting visitors who enter the borders
of its icy domain.
Trick-or-Treat: Take a brave step forward and ring the
witch's doorbell…trick or treat, which will it be? After
surviving her grisly welcome, wander into the Green Witch's never
before seen potion room and bewitched attic. But don't leave too
soon; you're the special guest at the Green Witch's deadly dinner
party where she and her menacing Tricksters await your arrival.
The Tooth Fairy: This twisted tooth fairy steals more
than just baby teeth as he drags his victims out their bedroom
window and into a world of deranged dentistry. Unbelievable special
effects include a blackout room through which guests must feel
their way out, a disorienting x-ray strobe light room, and a final
encounter with the massive tooth fairy, himself. Say aahhh.
Voodoo - Order of the Serpent: The haunting legend of
Papa Legba continues as guests follow him on his foreboding journey
to conjure the serpent demon goddess in the outskirts of
New Orleans. Trudge cautiously
through the cursed swamps of the Deep South, where creatures search
the murky bogs for their next bloody sacrifice and demons curse the
innocent with Voodoo hexes.
The Gunslinger's Grave: A Blood Moon Rises: Deadly howls
and a full blood moon mark your impending doom as werewolves
overrun the crime stricken old west town. Walk in the bloody
footsteps of a betrayed and left for dead gunslinger on his path of
retribution against the Skinwalkers.
The Deadly 7, a sadistic crew of terrifying monsters
representing each of the seven deadly sins, return to the fog of
Knott's Scary Farm this year. Together they prowl the darkest
corners of Scary Farm's midways and scare zones serving their
master, The Green Witch.
The Hanging®: Finding Gory - A live stage show in Calico
Square irreverently looks back at the year's pop culture with
killer comedy. Notorious for its special effects,
pyrotechnics and high-flying stunts, The Hanging is a
no-holds-barred assault on pop culture's most infamous moments of
the past year. A must see parody!
160 Acres of Scare Zones
Knott's Scary Farm is far more than a collection of haunted
attractions. Every night monsters spill out onto the streets
and turn theme park midways into murderous scare zones. From
the world famous Ghost Town Streets to the Boardwalk area filled
with evil clowns, there's nowhere to hide in Knott's Scary
Farm.
Ghost Town Streets is the original and largest, most
terrifying scare zone that started it all. Bands of
half-human, half-animal monsters prowl the streets and inhabit the
fog, while the notoriously startling sliders, lunge from every
fog-filled corner of the land. Fiesta De Los Muertos
fuses dance music, colorful costumes, and larger than life stilt
walkers in a dance party scare zone. It's the ultimate late
night celebration of Dia de los
Muertos. On the Boardwalk, clowns crave your undying
attention in the CarnEVIL scare zone. New this season, the
Hollow scare zone will terrorize guests as the ominous
Headless horseman prowls the fog-filled streets along with his army
of the undead, treacherously blending into the shadowy night as
they frighten all whom they encounter.
