One of our birthdays lands this Saturday, and we will be spending it at Knotts Scary Farm. It is the 40th anniversary, and it promises to be the biggest and best haunt yet. 13 haunts, 5 shows, and a midnight witch hanging. Can’t wait!!

Highlights :

New Maze: TRICK-OR-TREAT


 It’s Halloween Night and that old house on the corner is the last place anyone should go trick-or-treating at. All the kids know that something evil lives there. But here you are ringing the doorbell… Maybe the kids were wrong. Maybe you’ll get some candy. Maybe you’ll make it home tonight. Or maybe you’ll venture inside and never be seen again. a journey through childhood terror you won’t forget. 

The New Trick-Or-Treat Maze will feature (for the first time ever) the opportunity to actually Trick-Or-Treat in the queue! For a nominal fee you’ll get a limited edition mask, a bag and an assortment of 40th Anniversary Haunt items that are only available to those who join the fun! There is no charge for the actual Trick-Or-Treat Maze. Only for the trick-or-treating option in the queue. You’ll be able to fully immerse yourself in Halloween, in Haunt and in the terror that Trick-Or-Treat has in store for you.  Bringing Halloween back to Halloween Haunt, Trick-or-Treat promises to be a brand new Scary Farm experience. And we’re not even mentioning the secret part of Trick-or-Treat. For that you’ll have to wait…..

New Maze: PINOCCHIO UNSTRUNG




Several years after the blue fairy denies him his final wish, Pinocchio erupts in a wild killing spree, where he and his army of murderous marionettes seek the flesh from his former masters to cover his twisted, wooden body. Revenge comes with no strings attached.

This maze will be located inside the Wilderness Dance Hall (finally) replacing The Doll Factory. We just hope with the puppet theme they don’t blatantly recycle the Doll Factory’s sets and props, which would be easy to do. However, this maze comes from the demented mind of Haunt Maze designer Daniel Miller, who is the twisted creator of Delirium, so expect a new level of terror to be created with this interesting theme. You can check out the official Pinocchio Unstring teaser video HERE.

Here are more images of the set and models for Disney's latest film Frakenweenie. It was so cool to see just how much work and detail goes into the smallest item. You will love this movie, and is destined to become a new Halloween classic.

Tag your it!


I drew this on the back of a door the day I left my old apartment building that was going to be torn down. It was the middle of October of last year, and I was upset that I had to move in the middle of my favorite month. Not a happy pumpkin.

The Hag

    The Hag is astride,
    This night for to ride;
The Devill and shee together:
    Through thick, and through thin,
    Now out, and then in,
Though ne’r so foule be the weather.

    A Thorn or a Burr
    She takes for a Spurre:
With a lash of a Bramble she rides now,
    Through Brakes and through Bryars,
    O’re Ditches, and Mires,
She followes the Spirit that guides now.

    No Beast, for his food,
    Dares now range the wood;
But husht in his laire he lies lurking:
    While mischiefs, by these,
    On Land and on Seas,
At noone of Night are working,

    The storme will arise,
    And trouble the skies;
This night, and more for the wonder,
    The ghost from the Tomb
    Affrighted shall come,
Cal’d out by the clap of the Thunder.
