Halloween Fright Festival at Maan Farms

Halloween Fright Festival returns to Maan Farms for its second year, running Thursdays through Sundays from October 2 to October 31 (plus Wednesday, October 28), with the cornfields fogged up, pumpkins glowing beneath the trees, and characters roaming the dark. It's built for the whole range of Halloween moods: screams and terror in the haunts, cozy fall food and photo ops in between, and laughter in the Midway once you make it out alive. One ticket gets you into all four haunted attractions. New this year is BADLANDS, a no-contact, full-body haunt where nature itself turns hostile — punishing heat, biting cold, violent wind, drenching rain, and suffocating humidity, one extreme environment bleeding into the next. Returning favourites include Slaughterhouse, the no-contact corn maze billed as the Scariest Corn Maze in Canada, where guests are herded through a butcher's increasingly bloody chambers; The Way Down and Pitch Black, a hooded, contact haunt of sensory deprivation and shadow beasts; and 3D CarnEvil, a neon, 3D-glasses carnival nightmare of bending walls and blacklight puppetry. Beyond the scares, admission includes the expanded Frightfully Fun Forest — Canada's first forest pumpkin patch, now with more lighting, sound, and photo-worthy set pieces — plus four live performances throughout the night across the Midway, Wine Garden, and Forest Pumpkin Patch. Prefer to skip the haunts entirely? Pumpkin Patch & Midway-only tickets are also available. General admission starts at $69, with Scream & Sip (adds a glass of wine or a slushie) and VIP fast-access packages also available; pricing varies by date, with the busiest nights costing more. All guests must sign a liability waiver, and some attractions may be too intense for children under 14. Halloween Fright Festival runs at Maan Farms, 790 McKenzie Rd, Abbotsford, with entry times from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Get tickets and see the full date-by-date calendar at halloweenfrightfestival.com.
