Closed-toe shoes with real tread are non-negotiable; trails are dark, rooted, and often muddy after rain. Add layers you can zip while standing in outdoor queues, and skip dangling scarves, heels, and anything you'd mourn if it snagged a cornstalk. Leave costume masks at home, since most haunts ban them for guests, and keep hands free for railings and unexpected sprints.
Haunts send guests through in pods of 4-8, so a group of 12 will get split; pre-sort your pods so nervous friends aren't stranded with strangers. Pick a lit landmark as the regroup point after each attraction, since phones are useless inside. Buy tickets in one order for the same time window, and agree on the night's attraction order before anyone queues.
Go minimal: ID, one payment card, phone in a zipped pocket, and car key on a wrist strap. Most haunts ban backpacks and large bags inside or charge for lockers, and anything loose becomes a casualty in dark corridors. Leave the nice jewelry home, and split essentials between two people so one dead phone doesn't strand the whole group at pickup time.
