Origins: The Curse Of CalicoKnott’s Scary FarmHauntMazeOrigins has become one of my favorite mazes through the years. I love the bits of history about Knotts and Sarah Marshall, the original witch of Calico, scattered throughout the maze. The set designs in each space was amazing and a lot of cool spaces for Scareactors to use. There are some great “wow” moments I don’t want to spoil. They do use a lot of multimedia throughout the maze, which is alright, but it was sometimes overpowering. Wait til you see Sarah!
Mary - The Haunting of Worth HomeKnott’s Scary FarmHauntMazeThis maze introduced us to one of Sarah Marshall’s (really Sarah Morgan) sister, Mary Worth (Bloody Mary). The set design was soo good! Each year Knotts keeps setting the bar with their craft. I wish there were more mirrors since we all know what mirrors could do! The lantern fx were not working for the first two weeks.
The ZooKnott’s Scary FarmHauntMazeI was a bit iffy about the theme but it works. There’s a massive footprint for one of the stunts if you pay attention to it and it’s pretty cool! There are some buttons you could interact with throughout the first half of the maze. Lights out was alright. They give you dim flashlights but I’d rather have no flashlight I felt bad pointing them into the Blackouts and the Talent.
Eight Fingers Nine: The BoogeymanKnott’s Scary FarmHauntMaze8 Fingers 9 replaces Dark Entities. It is about a Boogeyman in the colonial times. The production of this is insane. I don’t get scared easily but I love an immersive theatrical stroll through a live play walkthrough maze. There was definitely some monologueing going on at the beginning.
