DIRECTIONS: Take the 101 Freeway to DeSoto (west of the 405 Freeway). Take DeSoto north. Turn right (east) on Victory Blvd. Make a right at the Mason Avenue Gate of Pierce College. 

DAY-TIME ACTIVITIES: Giant slide, Jumpers, Petting Zoo (closes at 8pm), Train, Carousel, Pony Rides (close at 8pm), Bumper Boats, Day Haunted House, Bungee, Gemstone Mining, Corn Maze.

NIGHT-TIME ACTIVITIES: The Factory of Nightmares is a traditional indoor haunted house structure, featuring a giant Tesla coil, strobe lights, and lots of loud noises and sudden frights. Creatures of the Corn is an outdoor haunt, with ghouls lurking in the shadows along the trail. The Night Adventure Corn Maze is a separate trail from Creatures of the Corn, offering a slighlty spookier time-time version of the traditional corn maze (i.e., there are no ghouls to scare you; you just have to find your way out in the dark).

HIGHLIGHTS: Unlike Spooky House and the Haunted Vineyard, Fright Fair sets up in a temporary structure. Consequently, the decor is not as impressive, but there are some memorable props (including a giant cobra over the entrance and a collasal Tesla coil that shoots crackling sparks loud enough to blast your ears). The real highlight of Fright Fair is the aggressive tone of the ghouls hauting its hallways, who always go the exta mile to scare the living daylights out of you. 

HISTORY: Fright Fair used to bill itself as the “4 Dimensions of Fear” and claimed that its long walk-through maze featured “four haunts slammed into one.” After going on haitus in 2004, the haunt revived for 2005, this time as a “Halloween Harvest Festival” featuring lots of fun, games, and entertainment for the whole family (hay rides, pumpkin carving, live music). In addition, the Factory of Nighmares haunted house was augmented by a haunted trail, called “Creatures of the Corn,” and there was also a separate corn maze without ghouls. 

2008 UPDATE: In 2006, the Factory of Nightmares haunted house from years passed was replaced by a new haunted house, called “Sinister Dreadford’s Mansion of Lost Souls;” unfortunately, this meant that many of the favorite familiar props (like the Tesla coil) were not on view. Sinister Dreadford’s Mansion did not return the following year. Instead, the Factory of Nightmares was back, and it returns again for 2008.

NOTE: As of early September, the Fright Fair website (with information on the haunted house and haunted trail), was not active. However, the Harvest Festival website is working, and indicates that the haunt will be proceeding as expected.
