Entering its inaugural season, the 10 unique scenes of Haunted Forest at Panic Point challenge adventurous scare devils to brave 2,000 feet of moonlit terror, where they'll meet the meat-eating proprietor of a circus staffed by cannibals and a pack of grannies seeking revenge. Like a convention for claustrophobes, the entire attraction takes place outdoors, so the assorted axe murderers and maniacs can attack from any angle. After escaping the forest's treacherous tendrils, guests can gather any remaining sanity in the Circle, Panic Point's sphere of safety, where they can dance the devilish night away to tunes spun by a live DJ or watch classic horror movies projected on a 31-foot screen.

For an additional cost, the heartiest haunters can experience other shriek-inducing attractions, such as a live paintball goblin shooting gallery ($4), an assortment of chilling carnival games ($2 each), a dark walk through the pitch-black woods with only a rope for a guide ($3), a howling hayride ($3), and the opportunity to witness the horrific parallel parking of the ghost bus ($3).
