Screamin' Acres, Stoughton

Those who shudder to remember the Shadow Manor Haunted House may want to hide under their beds. For although the legendary haunt may have faded into oblivion, a vastly expanded 7,000-square-foot portal to the profane has risen to take its place. The heinous Dr. Goffman rules more than half the bedeviled romping grounds, a blood-spattered surgeon waiting to terrify his patients, first by performing tortuous procedures, and then later by mailing them their bill. Those who manage to check out must then don 3-D glasses before venturing through a whirling tunnel. The swirling vortex leads to the harlequin-haunted Psycho Circus, where weird clowns caper with tortuous intent, ushering their audience through disorienting neon rooms. To keep the screams coming, Shadow Manor has also added two new attractions, including the evocatively named Slaughter House and a meandering path through a mysterious cornfield and haunted wood.
