Don’t see your favorite on the list? Add it the comments. The more the spookier.

1. Nightmare at Gravity Hill

AKA: Cicconi Farms, Jackson

Guests travel through a maze of buildings and scares on a 35 minute walk through an abandoned town. One reviewer said, “The sets and design were practically on the scale of the big name haunts like Busch Gardens and Universal Studios.” While another called it, “moderately scary.” You be the judge.

What it will cost you:

$20

They also offer zombie paint ball $10

2. House of Horrors

AKA: A. Casola Farms, Holmdel

Start off winding your way through the narrow corridors of the newest scare, House of Horrors, where psychopaths and murderers lurk in the shadows. If you’re lucky you’ll make it out through the Forbidden Forest, only to arrive at the Corn Walk of Terror, each promising scares of your worst nightmares. If that’s not enough jump scare for you, step into the Haunted Hayride for a journey into the backwoods of New Jersey.

What it will cost you:

House of Horrors $8
Haunted Hayride and Corn Walk of Terror $15
All three for $20

4. Sinister Sneed’s Chaotic Carnival of Chaos, Scary Rotten Farms

5. Dracula’s Domain

Jackson

A haunted hayride that runs continuously through 66 haunted (obvs) acres deep in the bowels of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. Then there’s the Psycho Path, a walk through the twists and turns, tunnels and tight passages past ghosts, goblins, ghouls, monsters, demons, and the criminally insane. Doesn’t that sound lovely? This one’s got a french mani.

What it will cost you:

6. Haunted Paintball Hayride, Night of Terror

AKA: Creamy Acres, Mullica Hill

(Full disclosure, this is in Gloucester County. But I’m guessing you might travel for the opportunity to pop a zombie at point blank range. And don’t worry, they can’t shoot back.)

It’s your last chance at survival against the flesh-hungry zombies of Creamy Acres! Climb aboard the only wagon to safety and take control of the mounted paintball guns to defend yourself and the other riders from a much unwanted invasion. Check out the video here. Also on site: Ride of Terror, haunted hayride, haunted corn maze and other attractions.

What it will cost you:

$25 per person
