In addition to the Challenge Trail, there are two other haunted attractions: "Dark Carnival" and "Grave Mistake". |

Description: The webvsite doesn't mention this at all, so I doubt this is going on. The last time it was open for sure was 2005. The Fright Fest is really two haunted attractions, each with its own admission price: the "Curfew Manor" and the "Curfew Cemetery". The attractions are based on the legend of Dr. John Malcolm Curfew, who built his home on the grounds over 200 years ago. The Fright Fest is based on a "Good Old-Fashioned Fright" philosophy, with little-to-no gore. |
