Last night, Knott’s Berry Farm hosted a special event announcing all of the new and returning elements for the 50th anniversary season of Knott’s Scary Farm. Three new mazes, the return of popular shows such as The Hanging, and more await those brave enough when the event kicks off on September 21st!
New Mazes
The Chilling Chambers
- In honor of the first maze in Knott's Scary Farm's prestigious history, the "10 Chilling Chambers" is a ghastly new attraction that gives a nostalgic nod to Scary Farm's past while terrorizing the audience of today.
- Guided by The Keeper, the sinister caretaker of the conservatory of horrors, guests are thrust beyond the threshold of an ominous towering cathedral that leads to terrifying classic maze themes from Knott's Scary Farm's infamous history. Scream from countless fears of seasons gone by as Knott's Scary Farm unleashes 50 years of terror in The Chilling Chambers.
Room 13
- Violent murders at The Blind Tiger interrupt the Prohibition-era revelry on Memory Lane. A dangerously delicious new cocktail named The Devil’s Elixir seems to be at the root of the mayhem, but where did the mysterious green aperitif come from? The answers may lie at the heart of the extravagant Argive Hotel, where many have checked in… but none have checked out of Room 13.
Cinema Slasher
- Embark on a journey through the Midnight Theater, entering horror film worlds where you must survive the deadly Slasher's rage. Can you escape these movie nightmares, or will you be trapped among decaying corpses in the ruined theatre? The sinister Midnight Theater beckons the brave into Cinema Slasher.
