And that is just the beginning of the horror you will encounter! These horror movies and MORE will be alive and well, lurking throughout the forest awaiting their next victims. All new scenes for 2022 are right out of blockbuster movies, including Alien, Hansel and Gretel, and Jeepers Creepers. You won't want to miss the surprises and scares in store for you this year at Nightmare Forest!

Trail of Terror

For those that don't survive Nightmare Forest, what's left of its victims are left for dead in the woods of the Trail of Terror. Now, the dead are uprooting from the earth to seek revenge for the torture their souls have endured from the evil of Nightmare Forest. Trail of Terror is a horrifying experience that you must survive, or you will become one of the many trapped by the forest.

You'll be entering the world of the dead into a massive, terrifying cemetery unlike any other. If you escape the damned, you'll begin your walk down the Trail of Terror where you will encounter a life-size dollhouse, where the dolls are more than just dolls! Then you'll step into the world of Fallout, a real life Area 51! You'll finish your trek with the New Orleans Cemetery and Death on the Bayou! Come for a visit, but if you're not careful, you'll become the next victim of the forest at the Trail of Terror!

Demented Hills

Havoc has reached the Nightmare Forest Haunt Parks in an all new event for 2022 – Demented Hills (formerly Nightmare Asylum). You may think you are coming in for just a visit, but the hills have other plans.

If you're looking for a new haunted experience, then Demented Hills is sure to leave you seeking treatment!

Circus Bizarre

Your Nightmare begins with Hawthorne's Circus Bizarre, the most unusual show in America. Circus Bizarre is an extreme variety show featuring sideshow and circus arts. It is entertainment on the edge of reality.

Hawthorne, known as the modern day mystic, tours nationally throughout the United States. He has amazed and entertained thousands of people at venues and events all across the country. He will leave you gasping, screaming and wanting more as he shoves hot flaming torches down his throat, walks barefoot across razor sharp shards of glass, performs various feats of pain resistance, and much, much, more. He even attempts a live human electrocution by sticking his finger in an electric lamp (don't do this at home!).

It is all real, all extremely dangerous, and all performed right before your eyes – if you dare to keep them open.

Then, before you leave, visit the strange, the odd, and the unbelievable in the most unique and unexplained oddities museum. Featuring unicorns, shrunken heads, chupacabras and much more, including the "world famous IT," the STRANGEST thing you will see.
