5 Haunted Attractions:

38 Unique Scenes. 1 Price for All

Haunted Forest

The Haunted Trail is the attraction where you will find the most scenes, haunters, and screams at Panic Point. 12 distinct scenes over the dim half-mile trail challenge your readiness for mayhem and fright. Make your way through the Butcher Shop, Sawmill, Dollhouse, Lost Souls, Junkyard, Pallet Maze, Sanatorium, Motel, Cemetery, Funeral Home, Killer’s Cabin, & Clown House.

It doesn’t matter if you are out front leading the way, hiding in the middle, or trailing behind your group, our veteran haunters will find a way to give you the scare you deserve. Every now and then we hear a story about a great scare that happened in the woods. The patron/victim gives a description of the haunter, and we realize we don’t have anyone that fits the description! So, stay on the trail.

Dark Trail: "Swamp"

Born in 2011 as the Dark Walk, this fan-favorite has graduated to legendary status as the DARK TRAIL.  The signature rope on both sides of the trail remains, but that’s the only way this haunted attraction resembles its earlier iteration. As the story goes, Doomsday Preppers affiliated with the Stalker Family set up a compound in the woods and started recruiting other disturbed individuals to help the work of preparing for The End.

As they laid the groundwork for surviving Armageddon, they were forced to expel two of the young women who had been caught stealing supplies from the root cellar. Bitter and vengeful, the two “ladies” set about to curse the Stalker clan. For a year they spent every waking hour studying methods to cast spells that would doom the doomsdayers.

It worked. One by one the little group was overcome by the incantation that slowly ate their internal organs. They vary in their capacities, but all of them are dangerous. You’ll find them in The Lair, Vortex, Cave, School Bus, Old Barn, Farm House, and Swamp. When you’re staggering along in sheer darkness, you’ll never know if you are in the clear, or one step away from your worst nightmare.

Howling Hayride: "Hunt"

The Back 20 at Panic Point was abandoned last year after a series of maulings and disappearances. It didn’t take long to figure out we had a werewolf problem. Sometimes you find the scare. Sometimes the scare finds you. We quickly discovered the search term “Werewolf Extermination” didn’t give us many new options. But we made some calls and assembled a team (another story) to hunt them down and/or bring them back to human form.

The Howling Hayride is part tour and part hunt. You’ll get a chance to see the old buildings that have been a part of Panic Point for 13 years, the camp that houses our hunters, and hopefully a werewolf or two. (We’ve found they tend not to approach groups of people on moving vehicles). So climb on, settle in, and join us in our quest to expel the enemy from the grounds.

Killers in the Corn

Its just a short walk into horror on a trip to your own personal horror movie. As the wind passes through the stalks they whisper an invitation to go deeper, farther into the path of pain. But its not the wind or the stalks that will get you. Its the living, breathing, horrifying killers await you inside this trail of terror.

We’ve summoned some of the most vicious, bloodthirsty killers in the history of myth, and allowed them to equip themselves with the tools of their trade. When they work, its not murder, its artistry at its finest, and you just may end up on the canvas!

Stalkers Farm

Years ago the Stalker Family Farm produced a little bit of everything, both legal and illegal. Don’t let the brutal bootleggers catch you near their Secret Still. And, of course, Beware “The Outhouse”. Listen here, ain’t nobody in this corn field take kindly to strangers (or friends, for that mtter), especially the angry old ladies on “Granny’s Porch”.

As you wind through the tall green you’ll be hit from all sides by free range haunters keen to graze on your pain. The slightest hint of fear hormones being released causes them to emerge in droves.

Carny Crypt

In the mid-20th Century, the Blauer Bros. Carnival made annual stops in Youngsville. Notorious for dangerously decrepit rides and slum-like conditions for performers, no one was surprised by the rumors that it was haunted. After a fire tore through it in October of 1961 the Carnival closed for good because the Blauer Bros. disappeared into the ether. To this day, no one has heard from or seen them again.

Their makeup trailer was the only structure to survive the blaze, but it was badly damaged and was dumped in the Louisburg Railyard, where it sat for over 40 years. In 2010, during a rail yard clean out, the trailer was earmarked for the landfill; but Panic Point rescued and restored it. For the first couple of years it served as the park makeup trailer but after several… incidents our artists and actors refused to step foot inside. In 2013 it was converted to a Haunted Attraction known as The Carny Crypt.

The incidents kept happening. So, in 2021 when the trailer was again in need of repairs, we gathered every old photo we could find, and we restored it as best we could to its original form as a Carny Makeup Trailer.

In 2021 we played an old tape recording we found that was made the night of the fire. In 2022 we called in Atlas Paranormal to make contact with the specters who allegedly inhabited the trailer. This year we’ve put together an audio tour of the history of the trailer for your enjoyment. So step into the trailer, take a seat, and travel back 50 years. But don’t worry, its probably not haunted anymore.

This Attraction is not included in General Admission, and requires a separate ticket. The Carny Crypt Experience is about 4 minutes long. Tickets are $5 – purchase online or inside the venue.
