Spooky Hollow at Hawthorn Hollow
Not Your Typical Haunted Attraction, No Jump Scares, Just Spooky Fun!
Forget the haunted houses and step into a Halloween adventure unlike any other! As darkness falls over Hawthorn Hollow, the woods come alive with mysterious creatures, eerie legends, and a little supernatural magic.
Wander the moonlit trails at your own pace, stopping to hear five spine-tingling folklore tales from storytellers. Along the way, discover spooky surprises, explore the Sinister Silent Cinema, Ol Somers Graveyard, the forgotten trail, capture a hauntingly beautiful tintype portrait, and visit our face painting and temporary tattoo parlor. Get creative with Halloween crafts, snap photos at spooky selfie spots, or cozy up around one of three crackling campfires for s'mores and fall fun.
Follow the sounds of live music filling the outdoor amphitheater all evening, grab a seasonal treat or beverage, and soak up the Halloween atmosphere. Then, as the night draws to a close, gather in the amphitheater for one final thrilling tale you won't want to miss!
Spooky Hollow is an immersive, self-guided Halloween experience for families and adults alike. No chainsaws, no jump scares, no haunted-house horror, just mysterious stories, enchanting woodland trails, and a night of unforgettable Halloween fun.
Dare to experience Halloween a little differently? The Hollow awaits!
