Prepare to find yourself lost in a battle between angry hogs seeking vengeance on those pesky wolves when Silverwood Theme Park’s 16th season of Scarywood Haunted Nights opens Friday.
New this year, get ready for The Swine — Bigger & Badder. The Swine was so well-received last season that they had to bring it back to life, said Sara Meddock, public relations manager.
“This year’s version of the haunt introduces the hungry wolves, a more terrifying maze and the addition of two more houses for the killer pigs,” Meddock said. “And for those who joined us last year, we are bringing back a fan favorite. Be on the lookout for Pig Mama because she’s still hungry. And she still has some choice words for those who dare to join her for dinner.”
A new immersive dining experience will also be in the haunted Theater of Illusion. Monster Meal will feature mini-horror films featuring your favorite Scarywood haunters, delectable treats and terrifying surprises popping up for every bite, a press release said.
Returning this year are 10 scare zones and four additional haunted walk-through attractions, including:
Chuckles 3D Sideshow — Send in the clowns. Chuckles the Clown is a maniacal lunatic. A loose cannon with one too many screws loose. Because of his antics, he was voted out of Clowntown and sentenced to live in solitude as an outcast at the edge of Scarywood. Taking matters into his own hands, he created his own funhouse and wants one last laugh.
Planet Zombie: Lights Out — Scarywood has been fighting the zombie horde for years and are losing ground. The infrastructure is failing, and the electrical grid is destroyed. Few survivors are left, and getting to the checkpoint without infection is up to you. Your only lifeline is a small, red flashlight as you navigate the dark streets of Planet Zombie.
Blood Bayou — Enter the Bayou, where the blood flows freely, and cannibals lurk behind every corner. This fan favorite is back in 2024, and it will leave you screaming at the top of your lungs. Don’t stay too long in Blood Bayou, or you might end up as tonight’s dinner …
Pharaoh’s Curse — Enter the Valley of the Queens, where the splendors have been stolen, and an ancient evil has been awakened. All who enter will be cursed forever. This walkthrough haunt will keep you on your toes in anticipation of what’s around every corner. Luckily, if you don’t survive, you will already be in a tomb.
Tickets are only available for purchase online. All of Scarywood’s haunted attractions, as well as other Silverwood rides will be open.
