NIGHT OF TERROR at Creamy Acres Farm – Mullica Hill

With a name as quaint and pleasant as Creamy Acres Farm, you wouldn’t expect one of the Northeast’s scariest destinations. But that’s where you’ll find Night of Terror, the massive 100-acre park (largest Halloween park in New Jersey) that is inhabited by zombies, attack dogs, chainsaw-wielding maniacs and killer clowns. The most unique attraction at Creamy Acres is the Haunted Paintball Hayride, where visitors climb aboard a wagon and use man-mounted paintball guns to defend the crew against live actors dressed as zombies and intricate moving props in a host of scenes over a 15-minute ride. 448 Lincoln Mill Rd, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062 https://www.nightofterror.com/

House of Horrors New Jersey – East Brunswick

The newly re-designed Haunted House of Horrors theme this year is “Face Your Nightmares. If you make it out of the house alive, take a ride on their Haunted Hayride Tractor as you get scared along a mysterious route.

Fear in the Forest – Pemberton

Fear in the Forest is a Family owned and operated Haunted Attraction hidden deep in the woods of Pemberton Township, NJ.

Be sure to follow the bones to the CABIN IN THE WOODS where the Frights and Fears will begin. If you make it from your car to the ticket booth, there is no turning back once your group leaves with the tour guide.

Field of Terror Haunted House & Hay Ride – Perrineville

Years ago Farmer Frank lived and farmed over 100 acres in East Windsor NJ, but simply farming wasn’t good enough. He wanted to develop a bigger better form of human life so he experimented, attempting to cross the genetics of the local town people with some of his crazy vegetation. The results of these failed catastrophes now inhabit this sacred land. Beware of his wicked grandson, Ax Man, who still tends the crops today. Come experience the four unique terror-filled attractions where visitors will encounter zombies of all shapes and sizes as you try to survive the FIELD OF TERROR. 831 Windsor Perrineville Rd, NJ 08520 https://www.fieldofterror.com/
