• NEW Corpse Crossing – The hallowed grounds have been overrun by undead creatures of the night so watch your step or become a permanent resident;
• Dead Man’s Party - Some of the corpses and creeps that have crawled out from the great beyond are throwing a party to die for. The only problem is that the living are crashing it; and
• Slasher Circus - The circus is in town, and blood-spattered grins and cackling laughter do little to hide that these clowns are killer cannibals. Do your best to evade the sliders and chainsaws, or else you’ll end up on the menu.

 
Thrilling shows, offered with Fright Fest admission, include:

• NEW Unleashed – Don’t miss the nightly scaremony where the ghastly ghouls break free to rule Fright Fest; and
• Creepshow Freak Show - Witness amazing and mind-bending feats that leave even some of the ghouls feeling squeamish.
