Southern California Halloween fans know they have countless options when it comes to having fun during the spookiest season, but true haunt aficionados have learned over the past four and a half decades that the best place to be for startling scares and eerie atmosphere is Knott’s Scary Farm.

Last night inside its main auditorium the Charles M. Schulz Theatre, Knott’s Berry Farm and illustrious host Jeff Tucker announced the lineup for this year’s highly anticipated Knott’s Scary Farm event, including both new and returning mazes, scare zones, live entertainment, thrill ride experiences, and more!

As with each year I’ve attended this Announcement Event, I left Knott’s incredibly psyched for the Scary Farm excitement to come. Beyond the instant show-stopping musical number (with rain live on stage) at the top of the show, the new and encore attractions revealed last night have me anxiously awaiting the official beginning of the Halloween season. A list of everything announced by the park for 2018 is as follows:

New Mazes:

  • Dark Entities – A space-themed maze reminiscent of “Alien,” but with zombies.
  • The Depths – An H.P. Lovecraft-inspired monster maze set in a 1940s seaside town.

Returning Mazes:

  • Special Ops: Infected
  • The Red Barn
  • Shadowlands
  • Paranormal Inc.
