I was given an incredible opportunity to attend Knott’s Scary Farm Social Media Night. I said yes to the invitation, enlisted my partner in event coverage, Mr. Alan Ishii, and off we went. It was an adventure!
At the magical hour, we were led to the gates to await the opening of the park. There is such a palpable anticipation at the gates before the park opens. You can see the excitement in both the park staff and the attendees. People are practically jumping up and down waiting for those gates to open. When they do…MAGIC.
The opening ceremony was amazing and definitely scary. The Headless Horseman made an appearance on the bridge. I know I screamed a couple of times (okay, a lot). Alan laughed every time I would shriek. That was just at the beginning. It got scarier when we got to the mazes. The first one had me terrified, but it was so fun that I was laughing in between screams.
Knott’s sure knows how to throw a party. The food was excellent, the desserts spectacular. We ate, socialized and then headed out to enjoy the park. My favorite maze was the Dead of Winter. It scared the holy beezjus out of me. There are 11 mazes this year and the event runs on selected nights through October 31st. I hope you make it out there, you’ll have a blast.
Elvira, the legendary Mistress of the Dark, returns to Knott’s Scary Farm in a spectacular all new show, Elvira’s Asylum, featuring insane dance and comedy performances. Prepare to be wildly entertained.
Zombies and monsters are walking round the park, so beware. New for 2015 are the following attractions:
PARANORMAL, INC. – The Haunting of Hayden Hill (New for 2015): Featuring high flying aerial stunts and scares, in the groundbreaking new maze, 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 hunt for new patients to torture.
My Bloody Clementine (New for 2015): There is no tale more vicious and vengeful than that of My Bloody Clementine. Take a grim ride through the Calico Mine where Clementine and her father were brutally murdered centuries ago. Their wretched sprits roam the tunnels in search of those who killed them. This year the ride through maze will feature live monsters out for revenge at the train track’s every turn.
The Dead of Winter (New for 2015): Escape the icy grasp of the chilling Snow Queen in the all new maze. Backed by with a ravenous beastly army of resurrected Viking warriors, she is hell bent on avenging her beloved family’s murder, and preys upon any unsuspecting visitors who enter the borders of her icy domain. Guests with a Skeleton Key will have the opportunity to unlock a bone chilling surprise.
(New for 2015) Prowling the darkest corners of Knott’s midways and scare zones, the Green Witch and her Deadly 7 is a sadistic crew guilty of more terror than meets the eye. Each of the monsters represent one of the seven deadly sins and make terrifying surprise appearances throughout the park each night.
