The UK’s only official Texas Chain Saw Massacre experience is coming to the new Halloween Haunt Fest event at the Hertfordshire Showground.
Running from 17 October through 1 November, Halloween Haunt Fest will feature an experience with iconic scenes from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).
In this scare maze, fans of the horror classic will explore a blood-soaked labyrinth where Leatherface and his deranged family are waiting for their next victims.
Halloween Haunt Fest will also feature the first-ever scare maze based on 2023 British slasher film Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, as well as two original concepts.
These are E.D.E.N, and the Trials of Jane Wenham – the Hertfordshire Witch, based on true local events.
In the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey scare maze, guests will join Christopher Robin as he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood, where the characters from his childhood have become something far more sinister.
New Halloween event in Hertfordshire
Visitors will wander through dark, decaying forest paths, discover childhood memories as nightmares, and meet bloodthirsty versions of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and more.
Created by award-winning scare attraction designers, the UK’s new Halloween event will boast movie-quality scares, atmospheric entertainment and eerie encounters.
There will also be special acts, sinister street theatre, street food, and a themed bar, and guests can enjoy rides and creepy carnival games at the Phantom Funfair.
Tickets to Halloween Haunt Fest provide unlimited access to all of the experiences. Or, guests can buy a ‘Scaredy Cat ticket’ at a reduced price for a piece of the action. These can be upgraded on the night.
Elsewhere, Alton Towers is adding two new eerie attractions to this year’s Scarefest event – a scare maze called Edge of the Forest and the Dark Hollow scare zone.
As part of this year’s Scarefest, popular attractions like Altonville Mine Tours, Burial Ground and the Compound scare maze will be returning.
