Widows

I thought this was a great idea for a haunted maze, preying on many people’s fear of spiders. The combination with a nursing home infestation made it an even more unique idea, although I wish I’d understood that element of the story a little more. As a person who is scared of spiders in real life, I think they could go even further with this to take advantage of that natural fear. I hope that they go even further next year.

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. Widows was spooky through and through and not recommended for anyone with fear of spiders. Loved the ending.

Absolutely my favorite maze this year!!! The ending is incredible and truly got some good scares out of me! Would recommend this maze 100%

Beware if you are scared of spiders or grandmas! This is probably the most elaborate house this year. The outdoor facade is absolutely stunning! Not the scariest to me, but worth it for the production value alone.

This 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.
