By – Rachel PartlowIf you’re too old to Trick or Treat on Halloween, and love haunted hayrides and houses, you should check out SpookyWorld in Litchfield. It’s a scream park, an area full of haunted attractions and horrific inhabitants whose main goal is to scare you. Open October weekends and select other days, the events start up around 6:30pm and continue well into the night.
The main attraction of the park, the seven haunts, are masterfully made. For example, customers can walk through a run-down hospital, duck through stone tunnels, scramble through the dark and meet “Cleatus the Fetus.” These encounters really make the night something to remember.
The seven haunted attractions each have their own theme and generate the most traffic, but there are a variety of other things to do. There’s go-karts, mini-golf, zombie paintball and Buried Alive, a booth that allows you to experience the feeling of being trapped underground in a coffin. Like a carnival, a variety of stands sell food and drink to tired visitors and a wide amount of merchandise is available.
If you can’t bear the thought of waiting in line for up to an hour, it's recommend you buy VIP tickets, though they are very pricey. Overall, the value of general admission was rather good. Lines moved slowly, but costumed actors kept the crowd entertained by sneaking up on and scaring patrons. However, part of the experience of waiting in line is passing the time chatting with the people you’re with, getting to know them, just having fun.
With elaborate scenes and props in the haunted attractions, talented actors and a variety of things to do, SpookyWorld: Nightmare New England is a great way to spend the night this Halloween season.
