Visitors can experience the immersive Halloween-themed experience with eight haunted houses, over 19 heart-pounding rides, spooky décor, roaming monsters, thrilling live performances, and more.

Guests are invited to participate in the nightly Opening Scaremony at 6 pm, with all of the creepy cast members welcoming them inside the park entrance.
To get you ready for an epic and eerie time at Playland, here are all of the haunted houses you can check out at Fright Nights this year!
The Void
New to Fright Nights this year is the brand-new haunted house, The Void. PNE describes it as “one of the scariest haunted houses in Fright Nights history,” with monstrous beasts and howling caves.
Carn-Evil
Brave attendees can also check out Carn-Evil, but you may want to skip it if you suffer from coulrophobia. The clowns lurking nearby multiply and grow from their run-in with radioactive toxic waste.

The Bloodshed
A family of mutated murderers and sadistic aberrations await inside the aptly named Bloodshed. Beware as they not only feed on your fear but also on your insides!
Fear
Face your innermost nightmares at Fear, and try not to shrivel up in horror and disgust. From the dentist to hoards of wild animal to our very own mortality. All will be brought to life as you make your way through this haunted house.
Darkness
Guests are warned that creatures born of pure evil lurk within the walls of the Darkness. Are you ready to learn the fate of those who dared to bargain with the Angel of Death?
Darkness/Fright Nights at Playland
Materia Medica
Get transported to Maltris Creek, a sprawling town with a military base that has always been whispered about in hushed tones by locals. There have been reports of screams, strange power surges, and even sightings of sub-humanoid bugs at the base. But no one who goes to investigate ever comes back.
Keepers Doll Factory
An experience not for the faint of heart. Be careful when you enter the Keepers Doll Factory, because the myth that cloaked men are searching for human sacrifices to harvest limbs from may be all too real.
Haunted Mansion
The devious genius Dr. Luther Van Horn has transformed from a once lovely manor into a true house of horror. The mad descendants of the Van Horn family still stalk the halls of the Haunted Mansion. Are you ready to meet them?
