SCARY

Forest of Fear Haunted Attraction

Visitors navigate an outdoor walkthrough trail spanning roughly a quarter of a mile through real woods. The haunt features atmospheric sets, fog, strobe lighting, and lurking costumed characters across uneven ground and stairways. An earlier lights-on version provides a milder experience with no jump scares.
