Be afraid, be very afraid, at these NH Halloween haunts

BY JULIA ANN WEEKES
NH WEEKEND EDITOR October 24. 2018 1:52PM

�Stop by and visit this weekend. We�re dying to see you,� said scare masters on The
Ghoullog�s Facebook page.
Cue the blood-curdling screams, the hallways that shrink into claustrophobic
slivers, the teeth-gnashing zombies, and, oh, all those creepy clowns.

Halloween haunts throughout New Hampshire this weekend are working hard to raise
the dead - and patrons' blood pressure. Here's a look inside some of shriek-
inducing scares in store:

Fright Kingdom, 12 Simon St., Nashua

Attractions: Apocalypse Z, where a special government team struggles to contain

infected locals; Bloodmare Manor, a Victorian home that houses a diabolical family;
Grim, a disorienting labyrinth of blackness; Psycho Circus, a madhouse of sensory
clown overload; and The Abandoned, a farmhouse where people have a habit of
disappearing.

There's also a Monster Midway with entertainment and startling encounters with some
frightening ghouls.

When: Fridays through Sundays in October, as well as Saturday, Nov. 3, when Fright
Kingdom in the Dark is scheduled. There's also Hardly Haunted afternoon events for
gentler fun.

Tickets: frightkingdom.com or 809-1173.

The Ghoullog, Cranmore Mountain Resort, 1 Skimobile Road, North Conway

Haunts: Venture through about 15,000 square feet of chills inside and then explore
the foreboding woods. (Recommended for ages 10 and older).

There's also a Haunted Playground featuring the Mountain Coaster ride up and down
the mountain, the Soaring Eagle Zip Line and the Giant Swing. Caution: scares
ahead.

When: Fridays and Saturdays in October, as well as Nov. 3.The Light's Out event
will be on Friday, Nov. 2.

Tickets: theghoullog.com or 800-7866754

Screeemfest at Canobie Lake Park in Salem

Attractions: New this year is Facility 235, where a ruptured reactor core's
radiation is having some unforeseen effects on workers; The Culling, a place where
disappearances are common; The Canobie Lake Hotel, where guests check in but they
don't check out; Carnivus, a sinister circus where hungry clowns rule; and The
Village, a defunct mining community that insists on interacting with the living.

There's also a simulated journey to the beyond inside a coffin in �The Last Ride�
feature. And check out the Swingshift Sideshow on the park's entertainment stage
for some twisted skills, stunts and feats of strength.

When: Friday through Sunday.

Tickets: 893-3506canobie.com.

Haunted Acres, 446 Raymond Road, Candia

Attractions: Quarter Mile Nightmare Walk through woods inhabited by some seriously
disagreeable and unreasonable residents; Graveyard of the Damned, where the victims
of experiences gone wrong are still angry; the blacked-out Maze from Hell; 3D
Nuclear Accident House, where radiation has created a rogue group of undesirables;
and Area 52, where visitors can't help but run into a zombie or two.

Spooky World presents Nightmare New England, 454 Charles Bancroft Highway,
Litchfield

attempts to rid the site of a demented family; 3D Festival of Fear, a sideshow of
lights and unbalanced circus folks; Carnage, a sanctuary for a band of evil-doers;

suspect motivations and morals.

Lights Out event will be on Nov. 3.
