The Chilling Chambers

I like the idea of having something of a museum or an homage to their past mazes. While it doesn’t make for a continuous storyline, they do get to cherry pick the coolest moments from a previous mazes to show off. That being said, as a person who hasn’t been going to this event for years, they don’t really mean much to me and it just seems like a hodgepodge of a maze. So I guess it if I could pick, I’d rather have a new maze with a complete theme than this. But I would take this over not having a 10th maze at all.

Prepare to be spooked. The Knott’s actors are waiting around every turn and know how to pop out at just the right moment to make you jump. The set design is highly detailed and designed for terror at Knott’s Scary Farm. A few cons: the mazes are all very loud with sound effects and music that do little to add to the ambience of fear but do make you want to get out quicker. There is high amount of gore in most of the mazes. We generally prefer haunts that rely on spine-chilling creepiness rather than ritual slaughter. But to each their own. Chilling Chambers was our least favorite mostly for lack of a cohesive storyline.

This might be my favorite haunt of all time! It’s not at all cohesive, but that’s because it’s basically ten mini haunts! Every time I turned a corner, I had no idea what would come next. It never stoped surprisingly me, and my smile just got wider the further I went in. I kept thinking I was almost at the end, but the maze lasts like seven minutes! That’s crazy long for a theme park haunt!

Been going since 2004 and I gotta say, this is my 2nd favorite Knott’s Scary Farm maze of all time (it’s going to be hard to beat Paranormal Inc for me). I love how it paid tribute to past mazes.

Absolutely incredible! Longest but very active maze! This had so many hidden gems and this was the best maze of the season

Truly a stand-out maze with plenty to offer for both new and old fans. Long-time Knott's fans will get the most out of this one, as it is filled to the brim with references, Easter eggs, and nods to all 50 years of Knott's Scary Farm history. I especially applaud the homage to Larry Vincent, aka Sinister Seymour, who was the first ever celebrity host for the very first Knott's Scary Farm. I gleefully shouted when I saw Elvis from Lost Vegas, as that was one of the first mazes I did during my first visit to Knott's Scary Farm back in 2007. And the trip through the Doll Factory, one my favorite mazes of all time, plucked all the strings for the fan boy inside of me. Nothing but love for this one. For all you fans out there, make sure to make time for this one.

If you’re an avid KSF attendee - this house/maze is nostalgia at its finest! This alone was worth the price to me tbh. Some of my favorite past houses were present here, I won’t spoil which, but the stand-outs from years past make an appearance with nods to many others. Not the scariest house, but one that I adored walking through.

I have attended scary farm for 38 years in a row. This maze was like visiting old friends. Me and my hubby were grinning from ear to ear. Beautifully built, lots of talent and details. All the sounds that brought it all back to me. Simply stunning. My favorite maze this year.

Nostalgia at its best
