DESCRIPTION: Fright Fair used to bill itself as the "4 Dimensions of Fear" and claimed that its long walk-through maze featured "four haunts slammed into one." After going on haitus in 2004, the haunt revived for 2005, this time as a "Halloween Harvest Festival" featuring lots of fun, games, and entertainment for the whole family (hay rides, pumpkin carving, live music). In addition, the Factory of Nighmares haunted house was augmented by a haunted trail, called "Creatures of the Corn," and there was also a separate corn maze without ghouls.

HIGHLIGHTS: Unlike Spooky House and the Haunted Vineyard, Fright Fair sets up in a temporary structure. Consequently, the decor is not as impressive, but there are some memorable props (including a giant cobra over the entrance and a collasal Tesla coil that shoots crackling sparks loud enough to blast your ears). The real highlight of Fright Fair is the aggressive tone of the ghouls hauting its hallways, who always go the exta mile to scare the living daylights out of you.

2007 UPDATE: In 2006, the Factory of Nightmares haunted house from years passed was replaced by a new haunted house, called "Sinister Dreadford's Mansion of Lost Souls;" ufortunately, this meant that many of the favorite familiar props (like the Tesla coil) were not on view. Sinister Dreadfor's Mansion is not listed for a return engagement in 2007, but the Factory of Nightamres is promised to return in its full glory.
