Fright Fest 30th anniversary features ‘Saw’ and ‘The Conjuring’
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif., will celebrate the Fright Fest 30th anniversary with 30 nights of fright on select dates from Sept. 8 through Oct. 31, 2023.
This year’s milestone event will feature the return of fan-favorite haunted houses (plus two new ones) and the expansion of one of the park’s most popular scare zones. For an extra dose of terror, guests can face their fears in total darkness when the park’s monster coasters turn off the lights.
“We’re excited to be bringing an unparalleled experience of fear and excitement to Southern California in honor of our 30th Fright Fest anniversary,” said Six Flags Magic Mountain Park President Don McCoy. “Fright Fest is back and it’s sure to be a party to die for!”
