While the mazes of Scary Farm are the meat and potatoes of the event as a whole, the scare zones are truly the heart and soul of the event. Way back in 1973, the idea of scare zones were birthed completely by accident when talent was locked out of their peak-ins. Last week, Knott’s Scary Farm announced all of its returning scare zones for the 2022 year. To anyone who’s visited the event, its no shock to see such favorites returning for another year. But regardless, it’s truly the appetizer we need leading into the spooky season. Below is all the information we have regarding this years Knott’s Scary Farm’s scare zones that are returning for 2022.

THE HOLLOWS

The monsters of The Hollow will terrorize guests as the Witches of the Hollow, and their armies of creatures have risen once again to battle with the Witch Hunter.

FORSAKEN LAKE

The Lake underneath Silver Bullet recedes to reveal the Forsaken Lake scare zone, where gothic creatures ravaged by the dark and murky waters wander from their crypts preying on unsuspecting visitors, looking for victims to drag back to their watery graves

CARNEVIL

On the Boardwalk, deviant clowns crave your undying attention.

GORE-ING 20’s

Step back into the dark decadence of a by-gone era as the newest scare zone, The Gore-ing 20’s, terrorizes even the bravest and most brutal souls. Here, gangsters run illicit hooch for the ghostly revelers as the otherworldly musicians play the music of the damned. Tell the Bouncer the secret password, and you’ll have the time of your life for as long as it lasts.

GHOST TOWN

The original and largest, most terrifying scare zone that started it all.   Bands of half-human, half-animal monsters prowl the streets and inhabit the fog, and beware the notoriously stunning sliders, who lunge from fog-filled corners of the land.

Select Nights September 22 – October 31. Tickets on sale August 15
