Two NEW mazes and shows will uncover the scares at Knott’s Scary Farm
Nightmares Revealed, Knott’s Scary farms inaugural event that showcases all things new from merch, food to mazes and shows as well as putting to rest some beloved mazes that you can experience for one final time.
This year Knott’s is giving us TWO new mazes and also retiring two beloved mazes. Let’s see what new mazes we will discover in the fog this year.
Inked: Mortimer Morbid, a washed-up 1930s cartoonist and former head of Morbid Studios, discovers that when blood becomes ink, imagination becomes reality. His cartoon creations come to life as a legion of murderous toons out to pull guests into their twisted world.

Unearthed: a search-and-rescue team reaches a ravaged excavation base after a distress signal, only to find that ancient tablets have awakened a malevolent force from a forgotten age.

As for the retired mazes, we have to say goodbye to Origins: The Curse of Calico and The Chilling Chambers. Both mazes have served us well over the years, with The Chilling Chambers being a staple for Knott’s Scary Farm. Curse of Calico began in 2019 as a larger story line involving Sarah Marshall who roams Knott’s Scary Farm year after year.
Returning mazes this year include:
Widows
Eight Fingers Nine: The Boogeyman
Cinema Slasher
Room 13
Mary – The Haunting of Worth Home
The Zoo
Something brand new for Scary Farm this year is a collaboration with The Magic Castle!
Occultum will have you step inside the beautifully restored Bird Cage Theatre and experience an evening of wonder. Featuring magicians from the world-famous Magic Castle, these acclaimed wizards will leave you amazed with surprise, delight, and mystery.

The second new show is Voodoo: Bayou's Edge: The dead keep rhythm. A slow drumbeat calls — and Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen, guides you past the gate into the court of Baron Samedi, Lwa of the dead. Dancers drift through the mist. Flames rise, tombs drum, the cemetery wakes.
