TerrifierHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis is my favorite. Unlike most of their talent in their other mazes, Art interacts with you because he seeks acknowledgement. He also roams around outside. Everyone was worried about getting drenched but it was just a small squirt here and there.
Cinema SlasherKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThis is a brand new maze to celebrate Knotts Scary Farms 50th anniversary. While inside I also noticed that it was also a tribute for favorite mazes of the past. All of the spaces were well designed with plenty of areas for Scareactors to use. It seems like the maze kept going and going. There was a really cool fx in the lobby with the Scareactor and the music will for sure be stuck in your head all night.
Mesmer: Sideshow Of The MindKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseMesmer had a preshow in the past and it made the experience a lot better. It’s still a great maze. Its a bit like a funhouse you see at fairs. There were a handful of fun interactions I had with the Scareactors throughout the maze and a couple “wow” factors too. The crew working line control did a great job leaving gaps within the maze so that the Scareactors could spend quality time with the Guests. I never noticed it in the past but at the end there’s these props on the wall you could spin and the strobe lights in the room will reveal an animation on the props, kinda like a zoetrope but it’s a wheel instead — cool little detail!

The DepthsKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseIt’s rumored that this will be the last year of The Depths and it makes me sad, but also excited for what’s to come in the future. This has become one of my favorite mazes. I love the theme, the set designs, the interactions I’ve had with the Scareactors, and the special fx. There’s an awesome special fx that literally immersed you — that also created a space for monsters to hide in plain site. Make sure to yell out “shark bait ooh haa haa!!!” At the end. I don’t want to see this go away :-(
WidowsKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThis is my favorite maze this year! Knotts outdid themselves with this production quality. The interactions we had with a lot of the actors was great. The only thing I didn’t like was it got really humid in a few parts of the maze.
Jason UniverseHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThe wait for this sucked. Not only was there a long Express Pass, there was also groups skipping ahead of them. Set design was cool. One quick murder scene in particular earned an applause from everyone in the room! The only problem with this maze was it just felt like a bunch of rooms with talent acting out scenes and relying on cues.
Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin AmericaHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThere were some really great fx in this one. I still remember some of the moving props from La Llorona.
Wax WorksKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThis wasn’t one of my favorite mazes at first but through the years it grew on me. It’s definitely an underrated one. I heard a rumor that this will be it’s last year at Knott’s Scary Farm. Nothing really scared me but the Scareactors really tried and I’m grateful for that. What I really enjoyed were the set designs and props. They had one of the creepiest animatronics. I had to slow down just to take it all in.
The GrimoireKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThe first time I experienced this maze it was cool. The actors in the preshow were always exciting to watch and it was giving a Stranger Things vibe. There’s a bit of time traveling as you transition through each space and it was fun to experience as a whole. I don’t know what was wrong this year because it didn’t feel the same. The set designs were great but also a bit bland because of the theme they were going for. There was really no “Wow” factor. The energy of the maze ramped down towards the end. I don’t know what was going on in the maze that night because we were at a standstill a few times and we could tell it made the Scareactors and actors feel awkward and it kinda ruined the mood. Don’t be discouraged from this review, it’s still a fun maze. Pay attention to the great storytelling.
