FRIGHT FAIR FACTORY OF NIGHTMARES NOTE: Once a stand-alone, single walk-through maze known as Fright Fair, this annual Halloween attraction switched in 2005 to presenting a Harvest Harvest Festival, with kid-safe activities (pumpking carving and hay rides rides) during the daylight hours. The “Factory of Nighmares” now refers to the scary night-time activities, including a haunted house and a haunted trail.

FRIGHT FAIR FACTORY OF NIGHTMARES ACTIVITIES: Don’t worry the family-oriented Halloween harvest festival does not mean that Fright Fair lacks for genuine Halloween spooks and scares.

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).

FRIGHT FAIR HIGHLIGHTS: Unlike Spooky House and the Haunted Vineyard, Fright Fair sets up its haunted house maze 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.

FRIGHT FAIR FACTORY OF NIGHTMARES 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 FRIGHT FAIR UPDATE: In 2006, the Factory of Nightmares haunted house from years past 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: The Fright Fair website (with information on the haunted house and haunted trail) is no longer active. Information for this Halloween event is available at the Harvest Festival Website.

2005 FRIGHT FAIR VIDEO: Unfortunately, Fright Fair does not allow cameras inside its haunted house; however, we were able to get some amusing footage of the Creatures of the Corn.
