The Haunted Jail is back this year with an all new haunted maze attraction, Bed(lam) Time Stories! It’s where your childhood nightmares come to life! My black cats have been slinking around and this looks to be a scary-good time! For the faint of heart and your littlest tricksters, check out the twilight show on Saturday!
They get 3 ghosts for what is looking to be one of the scariest Haunted Jails ever thanks to the twisted minds of Shelton & Dad VFX!

October 31
Nightmare on Whiting Woods – 413 Whiting Woods Road
Halloween Night Only – Sunset to 11 p.m.
Free!
Back to scare the masses for the 16th year! This hand-built yard attraction is on almost half an acre of land and every inch of it is used to scare the bats out of your belfry! This year’s theme is a mortuary that doesn’t wait for its customers to pass on before completing services. Arrive early, the line gets scary on it’s own and please be mindful of the neighbors; you don’t want to end up 6 feet under someone’s petunia garden! Not recommended for the little ones or the easily frightened!
This gets the max of 5 ghosts since I still have not recovered from last year’s nightmare!
