I have been to Nashville Nightmare many years now, but was disappointed by my experience this year…read more Entry was relatively quick; we previously have waited up to an hour to get into the actual grounds, but this time it only took 15 minutes on the Saturday before Halloween. I appreciate that the houses are updated yearly, which allows repeat visitors some new spooks and experiences. However, one of the updates of this year I found to be cheap, and I was frustrated with the experience. My partner and I collect the souvenir photos that are taken at the beginning of your experience. There are three rooms to take photos in, and this year we finally completed our trifecta. Unfortunately, they made a decision to only sell the photos with photoshopped backgrounds. The photo booth areas already have decorations, and can stand alone without the photoshop, which looks... terrible. We really just wanted a photo in the booth with the built-in background. In addition to our photos (3 large, 2 small, all photoshopped with different backgrounds), we were given novelty frames with our purchase that are very poorly made. The frames were already damaged when we got them and have sharp edges. We pulled the protective film off, so I know they are new, they are just poorly made. I hope they stop photoshopping the backgrounds, and get some quality products because we are certainly paying for them $$$

They would jump out and scare them and then give them a fist bump. The decorations were amazing. Truly unreal the attention to detail. It was a Halloween wonderland.

This is my 1st time ever experiencing a Haunted Hayride so everything was novelty. I didn't even…read moreknow this Raceway existed but it's cool that this season it was turned into a Haunted Hayride. I didn't get to watch the Magic Show but there seemed to be a circus sort of a stage right next to the food trucks. Warning: This is going to be a very detailed review. PARKING: At the guard post there is a $20 parking fee that is payable before entering the Terror Trail and is not included in the Ticket price. I'm not sure if VIP tix included parking. Food Trucks/Concessions: Only available on weekends. You can't bring any F&B into the Terror Trail but you can bring your own for consumption while standing in line/watching the magic show. Restrooms: There were about 8-10 porta potties that were very full and had no more water to even wash your hands probably bcos there were about 1400ppl that night I went. I didn't realize that it was the opening night ‍ The System: Since it was the opening night to the public, it was wild and lots of chaos bcos everyone was confused on how the system worked. Even with online tix, you had to scan a QR code to sign a waiver and then go to the box office to receive a physical card that had to be surrendered for admission or a wristband for VIPs that could ride unlimited times. There were probably about 1000 regular ticket holders and maybe a few hundred VIP wristbands that night from what i was told. Each trailer could hold about 25ppl and there were 8 wagons going simultaneously and at 40mins per ride, it's understandable why people were irate. The regular lines seemed to never move bcos many ppl tried to cut the lines and VIPs went through a separate fastpass line. But after clearing out the influx of VIPs, each wagon had about 10 VIPs and 15 regulars so the lines finally started moving. The Mgr was very nice and understanding and upgraded many to VIP or a return pass on another day for being patient. (It pays not to yell at service staff!) Regardless, i strongly recommend going on the other days as Fri/Sat will be extremely crazy. The Wagon: I didn't expect to sit on loose hay on the trailer floor. People with disabilities might find this to be a huge challenge which is probably why there were complaints asking for refunds of the tickets and parking. Staff helped as well as the other patrons. Walking onto the trailer was fine but getting off was a little scary for me as i was afraid of slipping. The Terror Trail: There are many actors in amazing costumes! Chainsaws, electric taser like props and many mechanical props are scattered all throughout the trail. I wouldn't call it terrifying and in my opinion it's family friendly. Maybe kids might be scared but they won't ever touch you although they do bang/hit the back of the trailer as a scare tactic. I'd say it's more cool than scary especially when i saw these 2 "Spirits" flying up in the air! It was an awesome setup to put 2 ppl propped all the way up and for the tall Slenderman to scare us. I loved it. Another favorite was the subject that was electrocuted sort of a Frankenstein/Resident Evil combo. I thought that subject would attack us after the Decontamination Failure but sadly that didn't happen. If just for the chaos on Opening Night, definitely less stars BUT that wouldn't be accurate bcos Im sure they'd iron out the hiccups and it is still a fun Haunted Hayride. So that's why I gave it a 4* Overall.

Unfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. During our entire ride, there was only…read moreone jump scare, and our trailer remained completely silent throughout the trail -- a clear sign that the attraction lacked energy or excitement. For most of the ride, it felt as though we were simply being driven through a field with Halloween decorations rather than experiencing a true haunted hayride event. Our entire wagon was silent during the duration of the ride - not a single scream. There were maybe 5 actors throughout the whole thing. It was super cringey at times & nonsensical. You drive for 5-7mins before even reaching the first scare. Given that we paid nearly $100 per couple, the attraction did not deliver the value or thrill that was advertised. While I understand there may be growing pains and that staff were doing their best, the overall experience felt careless and underwhelming. Adding an additional parking fee on top of that felt like another unnecessary expense for an already disappointing outing. If you work hard for your money... don't waste it on this place.

Normally haunted houses can get by on the claustrophobia alone. Tight spaces with Leatherface around the corner. But when I heard we had a haunted woods close to downtown, I was intrigued, and thus made plans to go. Located at the lovely Honeysuckle Hill farm (http://www.honeysucklehillfarm.com/, and ironically a very family-friendly place and truly lovely when not covered in Halloween-ness) about 30 minutes from downtown, Scream Creek is a haunted woods down right. For $20, you can also do a haunted corn maze (less haunted actually, more of a game you play that might be more suitable to children, and I would recommend downloading the flashlight app for your smartphone because there are NO LIGHTS AND WOW WAS IT DARK) but for $15 you can just do the haunted woods, which I recommend for adults. The space, the dark, and the natural fog make this more terrifying that a haunted hose, because every noise and smell around you becomes a zombie or a werewolf or some unidentifiable horror. There was a slide (FYI, you are outdoors in October, dress warmly and in something you don't mind getting potentially muddy) which was kind of cool, and shacks to go through, and bridges to cross...it was like being in a Grimm fairy tale before Disney made them over. It was scary and fun all at once and probably the best haunted attraction I have been to in Tennessee. If you have the time, and are brave (again, its chilly, and its really really effing dark!) give this a try to get you in the Halloween mood. The people running the show were so nice and the actors really into it. I actually had fun being scared.

The twisted, broken trees that remain from the 2024 tornado give a vibe that is indescribable! Perfect for getting you prepared! Instead of standing in line for hours for your turn.... I love how you simply receive a group number and tickets, get some DELICIOUS food, then choose to either relax by a campfire, get pictures in all their coolest photo prop areas, watch videos on a huge projection screen, or just enjoy the night while waiting for your turn to enter. The zombies...OH MY!! I wasn't expecting to get scared before entering, but when you see extremely realistic looking zombies creeping up behind you or crawling out of a casket towards you...need I say more!!! With heart pounding, heightened senses, just entering the barn gets you holding your breath...each room different, never knowing what's lurking around the corners! You can't hold the screams in. Just when you think it couldn't get scarier after exiting the barn, you continue on the SCARIEST trail that goes deep in the dark, twisted woods full of surreal hair raising surprises. You hear the echo's from other groups screaming in terror all along the trail and you know something is ahead but you don't know where!!! Definitely #1 in my book and looking forward to coming back!!!
