Nightmares Revealed event showcases what’s new for Knott’s Scary Farm’s 50th anniversary!

2023 brings three new mazes to Knott’s Scary Farm. They include Cinema Slasher, The Chilling Chambers, and Room 13.

CINEMA SLASHER: Venturing through the mystical Midnight Theater, guests travel through the silver screen and into a trilogy of slasher movies. As they are swallowed into the world of gothic horror, they become the movie characters who try to escape the wrath of the dangerous Slasher. Will everyone survive, or will they become forever ensnared in the decaying reality from a bygone era? The conniving Midnight Theater wickedly opens its doors, daring those brave enough to buy a ticket to Cinema Slasher!

THE CHILLING CHAMBERS: In honor of the first maze in Knott’s Scary Farm’s prestigious history, the “10 Chilling Chambers” is a ghastly new attraction that gives a nostalgic nod to Scary Farm’s past while terrorizing the audience of today. Guided by The Keeper, the sinister caretaker of the conservatory of horrors, guests are thrust beyond the threshold of an ominous towering cathedral that leads to terrifying classic maze themes from Knott’s Scary Farm’s infamous history. Scream from countless fears of seasons gone by as 50 years of terror are unleashed in The Chilling Chambers.

ROOM 13: Violent murders at The Blind Tiger interrupt the Prohibition-era revelry on Memory Lane. A dangerously delicious new cocktail named The Devil’s Elixir seems to be at the root of the mayhem, but where did the mysterious green aperitif come from? The answers may lie at the heart of the extravagant Argive Hotel, where many have checked in to Room 13… but none have checked out.

The popular show “The Hanging” has been missing from Knott’s Scary Farm for several years. But now it’s been uncancelled. THE HANGING: UNCANCELLED brings back the beloved parody “celebrating” the past year in pop culture. This year brings the show to the Wagon Camp Theatre.

Knott’s Berry Farm is famous for their multitude of food offerings. Scary Farm is no different. Offerings include Spookghetti Pie, Cereal Killer Funnel Cake, The Swamps Gator Sausage, Witch’s Green Bean Fries, and drinks like Red Rum Runner, The Knotty Bean, Skeleton Rum Chata and so much more. Food fans will want to look into the Knott’s Scary Farm Boo-fet dinner package.

Here’s a look at some of the merchandise available to guests this year. One of the most coveted items will be the interactive light-up lantern. The lantern sells for $39.99 and will interact with elements throughout the entire event. Also available is the board game Scary Farm-opoly.

As part of the preview event, guests were able to enter the Knott’s Scary Farm Legacy Store & Museum for the first time. The store and museum is just as detailed as one of the iconic mazes. Inside you’ll find more Scary Farm merch than you can handle, and will enjoy a trip down memory lane of Scary Farm’s past. There are nods to Elvira, and the very first Knott’s Scary Farm performer, Seymour, The Master of the Macabre.

Other offerings during this three hour event included the chance to meet The Keeper, a new character inspired by Knott’s past, from the new Chilling Chambers Maze. The streets of Ghost Town were filled with fog, and there was even a lights on tour of the returning ORIGINS; THE CURSE OF CALICO maze.
