Knott’s Scary Farm is back! For over five decades, this Southern California Halloween classic has terrified attendees every fall. This year is no different. In fact, this year brings new, terrifying offerings that are better than ever. One of these can be found in the CarnEVIL scare zone.
This year, it has been reimagined to go beyond just being a terrifying carnival setting. Instead, it now has a sideshow theme and characters! This includes Professor Mesmer, the Barker, and the Clown Maker (Queen of the Clowns), and others in updated costumes. There are also new entry archways into the scare zone that add quite a bit to the experience.
On the opening night of Knott’s Scary Farm, Daps Magic was invited by Knott’s Berry Farm to cover this terrifying tradition. During the event, Daps Magic took a tour of all 5 scare zones. Below is the video that includes the following scare zones:
- Ghost Town Streets
- Gore-ing ’20s
- CarnEvil
- Forsaken Lake
- The Gauntlet
Knott’s Scary Farm takes over Knott’s Berry Farm on select nights through October 31, 2026. Along with the updated scare zones, there are also two new mazes: Inked and Unearthed. There is also an updated version of The Hanging and a new stage show called Voodoo: Bayou’s Edge. Tickets and passes are still available on the Knott’s Scary Farm webpage.
