Not a bad place, its a bit overpriced to me. This was our 3rd year going and I will say its time for them to do a refresh. The haunts worn and even the staff seemed tired and it's only the second day of the 2018 season.. read more

Been awhile since I've gone to spooky world they have changed locations over the yes but I can honestly say this was a good time they have bout 4 haunted houses the mansion was good , close quarter scary pop outs and cemetery was creepy, a nice bon fire in middle ground is nice to warm up to, the actors are good they really egg on the people who are scared by really scaring them and following them , I will return As a FYI buy via to ship the very long lines read more

I got tickets from WXLO for 1/2 off. And I am so glad I didn't pay full price. I had to pay $10 to park and wait in line for an hour to get into one house. Not to mention it was cold out. I would go back not worth the $30 you would have to pay. read more

The scariest party out of all of these haunted attractions was the porta-potty. The actors were not scary at all. None of the attractions were frightening. The only people I saw that were even remotely scared were groups of teenage girls and small children (which, IMO, should not even be there). I will admit the decorations were well done on the hayride. The scenes that were set-up along the hayride were neat but the actors were not scary. If I didn't get a groupon, I would not go. Full price is absurd. And one thing we didn't know (even though I looked at the entire website): you can buy tickets at 6pm but attractions don't open until 7pm. I'd recommend going to Fright Kingdom, which is a short drive away. It was much better and much more reasonably priced. read more

I would not recommend going. this was far from spooky. What pissed me off the most was that online the hours say 6 to 11. I show up right after 6, and they dont allow anyone in the midway until 630. After getting in, I line up for a haunted house, which does not open until 7. WHY OPEN AT 6 IF YOURE NOT ACTUALLY OPEN? I feel bad for people who did the VIP pass, because their line was longer than the general admission. (Does anyone really go in the same attraction twice?) Honestly really disappointing and was not even remotely scary. They have a bunch of dudes dressed up who go around harrasing girls, which is supposed to come off as "spooky". If you like an overpriced carnival at a farm, then go ahead. Just buy the general admission though, the line is actually shorter/faster read more

I was very disappointed this year, My family went last year and it was easily 5 stars. I was looking forward to another good year and while we waited for the first attraction, I was chatting with other people who had not been and told them how much fun we had last year. We especially enjoyed the hayride. This year we felt like we were going on a tour of sites. There were barely any actors and now I realize how much they impact the enjoyment. I have no idea what happened. I am so glad we did not pay for the express line tickets though I thought about it. The few actors that were there did the best they could I think. I am so embarrassed to have talked them up. We are very close to them so will give it another try next year if they are still around after this year. If it's the same experience, we won't be back. Spookyworld. Please don't let me down again. read more

Years ago, in Oregon, I would see commercials for them on our east coast cable channel. I had always wanted to go. In 2009 we got a chance to go. We had dinner there at that time and played a round of minigolf. It was a fun experience. This year Halloween was no less fun, but it was different. The restaurant has changed hands. They no longer serve seafood. Which was pretty decent before. Now it is burgers and pizza. The waitress said everyone loves the burgers so much they ordered bags to go. I doubt that, they were just okay, nothing I am skidding out of there with by the bag full. The haunts had changed, as expected in that amount of time. I was proud I had enough brain cells left over from 2009 to remember a lot of their props and saw them recycled into the new haunts. Good for them, as an avid haunter myself, I know this is an expensive part. It was just funny we could remember them. We bought the VIP pass both trips, and it is worth the extra money to skip the lines and get to go through as much as you want. The difference this trip is they had more of the outdoor haunts that you walked around. I was thankful it was not raining or had not just rained as the paths are all dirt. I am really jaded when it comes to haunted houses, as we do extensive halloween but a few of the outdoor ones were creepy. They force you through a pitch black cabin to get to the other side, and something about that was unnerving. I didn't think I would ever be afraid in any haunt situation again. I don't think we would go again if in the area, just because it was so close to the last time. If it is your first time I will say don't miss it. Go and spend a little extra for the VIP ticket. it will also get you into the batting cages, mini golf and the go carts. From Salem it is only about an hour, but here is one giant recommendation, do not go during rush hour. It will double your travel time. Traffic was horrible the entire way because we left too late. The time before we left Salem early so we could get there in time to eat and play mini golf and missed all the traffic. We had a rude awakening on t his trip. read more

Not for the faint at wallet! This place can be pricey and the VIP admission is a must! Parking is a required donation and by the end of the night you leave having an awesome time and a much lighter pocket. The haunted attractions are unlike any other, they really are spooky and less cheesy than most. The VIP admission is a must because the lines are rediculous and the VIP gated area is a bonus. It would be nice if they offered more in this area but a bonfire is nice on a cold night. read more

A bit pricey for a Saturday night ($29.99 even with my $5 coupon), but I would still be willing to go back. Spooky World isn't spooky as much as it is weird and funny. As far as I'm concerned, my admission was worth the ridiculousness of 3D Freak Show alone. I felt like I was on drugs at a neon ghost rave. The longest we had to wait in line was probably about 30 minutes and that was for the big double one out in the woods. All the other ones we explored took maybe 15 minutes. Parking is going to cost you $5-$10 which they should have listed on their website. If you need cash there is an ATM onsite at the restaurant at the park. We needed this to buy concessions, including the beer and pumpkin jell-o shots. Yes, jell-o shots. read more

This review is for Mark who works there. I left my wallet On the hayride and ran right back. unfortunately they had already loaded the next group and were gone. Sadly when it came back my wallet was gone. I spoke to Mark who took down my name and number and said he would look again for me the next day. I didn't expect to hear from him and as days went by I knew my wallet was gone. Well I was wrong- he called me the following Thursday night and left a message that he found my wallet and he would be available anytime I needed to pick it up or meet him at a more convenient location. I went back to the park and got my wallet with everything inside (including all my cash!!!) my husband tried to give him a tip but he would not accept it. Thank you, Mark!! Thank you thank you thank you! You remind me that good people still exist!!!!!!! read more

This place does not deserve the name and it does not deserve to take credit for what was built before it. On its website it's simply lying saying that they started 20 years ago in Berlin Massachusetts blah blah blah. This is bought by people that have no idea how to put together a proper haunted attraction. Blank walls with nothing on them in the Victorian manner however, I would say that the façade was stunning but that's all it was was a façade much like this entire attraction. Incredibly short haunted houses with nothing much to look at and actors wearing nothing but dirty tank tops that is not costume. This couldn't hold a candle to anything that spooky world was when it was under real ownership from people that were passionate about Halloween and haunted attractions this is nothing but a place that wants to sell alcohol and offer low quality haunted attractions. Do not go it is a shame they're even allowed to own the name read more

Spooky World is a Let Down. Don't waste your money. yeah, we just came back from it. Got the V.i.p. tickets to cut in line but that was it, everything else was the same. 3 haunted houses with pretty much the same stuff. People jumping out at u and chasing u. $35 a ticket with group discount. Normally v.i.p. tickets are 60 read more

This was an amazing experience. As an annual frequenter of Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, I was intrigued to check out the preeminent haunted event in New England. I went in with no expectations and left amazed. First off, the place is fun. There are carnival games, food, and an arcade. A beer tent. A zombie shooting range. But everybody comes for the haunts. The haunted hayride is amazing; it's twenty minutes of creative, thoughtful, and disturbing cast members, sets, and pyrotechnics. From the Caulfield Cemetery to a plane crash through a nasty barn you will go through scenarios that will make you jump, squirm, and feel uncomfortable. It's great and though HHN might have the licenses, they have nothing like this. The other houses are good to great. The Colony is interactive, creepy, and fun. The actors are engaging, they touch you and joke throughout the disturbing trek. Another house has you running through a maze with only a glowstick - again nothing like this at HHN. Another house runs you through a junkyard, with amazing props and pyrotechnics. The 3-D was the least impressive, but still a blast. Overall, for the price and the hayride, this is an experience you shouldn't miss. Swing for the VIP - it's definitely faster, though you don't get right in. And again, they hayride is a 20 minute experience - and worth every penny. read more

I've gone to spookyworld in the past and have loved it, but this year it was not up to par. It was $45, even more expensive than the already expensive rate of last year, and all of the attractions were understaffed so you basically walked through waiting to get scared and would have maybe 5 people jump out at you during each attraction. The lines were as long as usual, which I wouldn't have minded if the attractions had been more fun. They also haven't changed up the attractions at all and it gets old after multiple years of the same stuff. Overall, I feel like if they're charging $45 a night they can afford to hire some more staff and change up the attractions a bit. read more

Where do I even start?! I LOVE SPOOKY WORLD SOOOO MUCH! This place is amazing and for me and all my friends, it is as good as it gets. I go every single year and I usually go more than once, last year I went three times. I have been to quite a few different places and nowhere else touches how good they are at what they do. The actors are spot on, and always scary. Their costumes are scary as hell and not just a little face paint. Of course there are one or two who aren't as good as the usuals but that is bound to happen. I went opening weekend again this year, and I almost started crying in the new one, the Hospital. I was tearing up and had to stop and catch my breath...that is how good it is for me. It depends on if you are scared easily or not...which I am so it makes it totally worth it. The lines can be rough, but that is to be expected and they try to accommodate by putting people into groups. The only downfall is that children are allowed here and it's heartbreaking (my friends and other people complain about this also) to see parents carrying their 3-6 year old kids in the lines. The kids should not be up that late or going into this houses!!! It is not appropriate, that is the only thing that I dislike strongly. Otherwise, amazing, scary and awesome as hell. read more

I went with my kids and their friends (teenagers) the weekend before Halloween. I was psyched out by the website. I'm a big fan of horror and thw website video made me scared...maybe because the thought of being in actual contact with something scary creeped me out. It is not easy to find, we had to stop at a gas station to ask for directions..then this guy told us he "lived down the street" and would show us the way..that added to our feeling of spookiness as he was driving a black car and our imaginations were running wild anyway. It wound up being fun, a lot of teenagers, so my kids had a blast. The best part was the creepy clown at the dunking booth.. his comments were hilarious.We also enjoyed watching the actors. Some of them looked really cool. The actual "haunted houses" were not that scary but were fun. Bring cash, as you need it to buy food and other stuff, and pay for parking. Great for teens but not for little ones. read more

I love Spookyworld and I return every year! It is my favorite haunted attraction in all of New England! Since moving to RI and with inconvenient work schedules, I've shown up around 10/11 pm over the last 3 years and long lines are never an issue. We usually park in the lot that charges $5. I'm assuming because we arrived so late, we were relieved of that fee this time around. This year we came for lights out and I loved it! No lights in any of the attractions. You roam around in complete darkness with nothing but a glowstick. Definitely upped the creep factor. They brought back the haunted hayride this year, which I don't think has been around since they were at their Berlin location like a million years back. HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. I am a Halloween freak. Like, I wish for and put effort into Halloween being every single day of the year, and this haunted hayride was just awesome awesome awesome! I was so impressed and really felt like I was on a haunted hayride through a scary abandoned forest town. Utterly enchanting. Seriously, my jaw was hurting for like half an hour afterwards because the smile on my face wouldn't leave - not for a second! I'm thinking next year I'll buy a VIP ticket (allowing you unlimited access to all attractions and go-karts) just to ride the haunted hayride all day long. This Halloween lover was absolutely enamored with the fantastic job they had done in the woods for the haunted hayride. I tip my hat to you, Spookyworld. I always love the metal they play at the Bishop house, and the DJ at the beer tent this year was spinning some pretty awesome drum & bass. Staff was a little disappointing this year. I ended up losing my ticket somehow on the hayride, and there were still 3 attractions left that we hadn't gone through. Walked up to a worker manning the nonexistent line at "the colony" to see if there was anything I could do about my situation and she only told us that the attraction was closed, along with all the others. We found out by walking another 15 steps that this wasn't true, as people were still being let in to at least two other attractions from what we could see. Still, no one could/would help with my ticket issue, and actually ignored it all together. Okay so we walk over to the ticket booth. Well, it's closed. Womps. Ended the night there but I was still beaming from the hayride so I honestly wasn't too upset about it. It's still not cool though that a worker would tell you all attractions are closed (esp. when it is advertised that the ticket booth closes at 11 and you show up half an hour before that) when just by turning your head to the left you can clearly see that they aren't, and not even pretending to try to help someone who comes to you with a question is just lame. Other than that I had a great time, as per usual! read more

Yesterday night I went to Spookyworld with some of my friends from Boston. Most of my friends are foreigners and came to USA for a 1 year program and this would be their first real Halloween experience in USA.... I wanted to make sure it was scary and they would have have a good time and enjoy the Halloween season already. What we saw there couldn't have been better!! The quality of the show was spectacular. The makeup work looked so real and profesional that we were really scared and impressed, and still had so much fun. Our favorite haunted attraction was the hayride! the lights scene is a MUST! I was happy to go there with them, and it was worth it. The only thing we would have wanted was a different type of music around the bar, food and fire area, but besides that, I fully recommend visiting there. It is worth the ride! read more

I went on opening night despite the terrible reviews because it was half off. I'm not sure if I went on a great night or if they made improvements since the last reviews. My friend and I had a very solid experience. I go to a lot Halloween events and this was certainly above average. Lines on opening night were very manageable, we got through all 5 attractions in 2 hours. Haunted Hayride, Brigham Manor, and Festival of Fear were all solid. Acting, makeup, and maze design weren't top notch but they were all good enough to get the job done. The hayride was surprisingly long and diverse. The Colony was the only clear dud here. Just a quiet walk in the woods with few scares. Carnage had great design but it was a bit low on scare actors. There were plenty of places for scares that were just empty. It was later in the night so maybe the staff was thinning out. Either way, it was a bit disappointing for it to not live up to its potential. That said, I would still put in the positive category. There were a few extras that I didn't opt into but I could see a lot of value in. There's a beer tent, decent food, zombie paintball, mini golf, and go-karts. Enough optional stuff to make a VIP pass worth the price if I wasn't trying to get there after work. Bottomline, it was worth $20 (half off price) and I would say I'd be happy had I paid full fare. Can't speak to criticisms of others but opening day 2017 was solid. read more

I was, unfortunately, really disappointed. First off, the ticket prices are astronomical - they cost $70 for two people, even with a coupon. I went the weekend after Halloween - not realizing how early they closed - and luckily, there were no lines. The houses were dark and the props were okay, but it really just was not scary. The music was way too loud, some of the houses were too dark to see, and while the actors did their best, I can't justify that price to not be scared...the haunted hayride was really pathetic. I'd much rather spend a few extra dollars and go to an amusement park. I won't be going back. read more

More like DustyWorld! Every part of this place is covered in dust. Be prepared & wear shoes / clothes you don't care about. As far as the spooky part... a lot of missed opportunities on the hayride. Basically we took a ride through dark woods and listened to loud noises play on a speaker connected to the tractor. As you progress the other 3 sections get better. I tried to factor in the social distancing aspect but overall I would skip spooky world this year if you're thinking about buying tickets. read more

It was AWESOME! All of the attractions and actors were very realistic. The hayride and attraction sets were very well made and scary. People who says they weren't even a little bit scared has to be lying. The interaction on the hayride was enough to startle anyone. The actors did a great job staying in character, yet were respectful. I also recommend buying the VIP pass. It was totally worth not having to wait in any lines! read more

Let me tell y'all about the experience. The lady at photos rude. As I was paying for photos I took a video of my photo and then I couldn't get a copy. There's no sign. Told us to leave. Racist second. Lastly rude showed off for no fucking reason. ALSO NOT WORTH THE MONEY SHIT WAS NOT SCARY. Also it's so understaffed. DONT COME DONT EVEN TRY AND IM CALLING MANAGMENT TOMORROW. don't recommend for the life of me. read more

This place is absolutely TERRIBLE! Next to another haunt in Candia, this is the worst of all of the haunts we do. $40 for general ticket or $80 for VIP. Do NOT pay these prices. Only do it with a GROUPON deal. Hayride has gone down hill in the last few years. The other haunted are simply laughable. On the "midway" only a few costumed actors were visible. The only thing that is worth it is the $5 parking. Especially when it's time to leave read more

Absolutely terrifying very well done. Got the VIP pass well worth it. Colony was the most terrifying experience I'm surprised my heart didn't stop. Mansion and Hay Ride theatrics were absolutely incredible, very impressive designs. All rides lasted a long time and were very unique. Actually lost my voice from screaming so much. Also the actors that walk around scared around were equally as scary as the attractions. read more

Super overpriced and crowded. The haunted houses themselves are not very good. They look good from the outside, but inside they're all pretty much the same, just a bunch of black plywood hallways. The lines are so long and when you get it you're just herding through the houses like cattle, really hard to get a good scare like that. There are lots of other good haunted houses nearby in NH for 1/3 the price, check those out. read more

Honestly, I was disappointed with the visit. The first out of the five houses we entered - The Carnage, literally walked through the house & there was only one person towards the beginning that jumped out, other than that we were just walking through a vacant house. The clown house where they give you 3D glasses, wasn't 3D and not for nothing but also not sanitary because they collect them at the end, using them over and over. The hayride wasn't too bad however, I also felt that there was a lot of empty space where people could've / should've been there to pop out and scare us & there wasn't. The smoking wasn't too bad but we did experience it in maybe two out of the five lines we were in. The Manor was full of workers so there were a few 'jumpy' parts for me, but other than that the experience was below average. read more

Over prices and I even bought the deal from Groupon. To me it's only worth $10.00 we walked out. Attractions we not scary at all. Hayride was only ok. VIP line were very long. There was no way to go through an attraction more than once with time they are open. All ATM were also not working and it was only the second week of being open. This has become way over commercialized. read more

The price was the most horrifying part of this experience. My friends and I were kind of tipsy when we arrived and that was the only thing that got us through the six or so "haunted houses" made out of plywood and strobe lights. Actually, the fact that all of the "monsters" there looked more like drag queens than anything really was what got us through it. The space was not utilized well and looked vast and empty from the second one walked in, minus the hundreds of screaming teenagers who could only hang out there for their Saturday night Halloween fun. It was pathetic. In short, just don't bother. There is no redeeming factor. Look around your house. That's about how scary and Halloween-esque Spooky World is...take that as it is. read more

The lines were unbearably long if I were to go back I would definitely get VIP tickets. We got there at 7:30 and had only gotten through 1 haunted house and the haunted hayride by the time midnight rolled around. We were in line for the hayride for 2.5 hours before we finally got it, you could tell they put a lot of effort into the attractions and it was one of the better Haunted hayrides I've been on and the actors did a good job scaring you but honestly there aren't many things in life that are worth waiting 2.5 hours for. Who I'm assuming was the owner was very friendly and asking how many houses we got through at the end and when we told him he informed us we could come back at any point in the season to check out the other houses which was nice. If you go definitely pay extra for the VIP. read more

To start off my Gf lives 5 minutes from here she's been going since she was a kid. Her and I have been going for The past 7 years and have always loved it. However we went this past Saturday and brought a friend (he flew in from NY) that hasn't been before we all bought VIP tickets at $70 a person and we were all disappointed. It seemed like they were understaffed. I mean in each haunted house there were maybe a total of 3 actors per house. It was extremely disappointing and I'm extremely dissatisfied. It felt as if I was walking through the haunted houses to observe the props and that's all it wasn't scary one bit. The hayride was awesome at first they had people running alongside the trailer and some people even hopped on and pulled my hood off and such. Right after the first 5 minutes it was pretty lack luster as we went through many areas without even seeing a single person. Even in the past years they used to have people walking around so you'd have to stay on your toes otherwise you may get sneaked up on, well we were there for 3 hours and only saw 2 different people walking around and scaring people in lines and such. Don't waste your money on this place and try elsewhere way too overpriced and overall a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately you lost us as a customer and we're going to have to find something else to do each halloween because that was downright pitiful. read more

I went opening weekend 2013. It was buy one-get one tickets so we did the VIP thing. Apparently so did everyone else in New England. The VIP lines were long, but moved very quickly. We got there around 7 which is when it opened. No line took more than 15-20 minutes to get through in the VIP lines. I heard others complaining that their wait times were upwards of an hour in the non-VIP line. Would I pay $60 for it if it wasn't buy one get one? Probably, just to skip the lines. The haunted houses were good- the make up/sets were done really well. The graveyard one was our favorite. Sometimes they put so many people in at once that you don't get a chance to get scared because you see what's happening to the people in front of you. There is no parking directly there- you have to park at businesses nearby for $10. The "midway" is practically non-existent, but who goes to those places to play games? read more

Let me start by saying I wouldn't even give it a one star. What a disappointment! I went this weekend for the first time and it was a complete waste of time and money. If you are looking for a bunch of carneys, over priced food, absolutely insane lanes (even with a VIP ticket which is highly overpriced) and not the least bit scary then this is the place for you. The "Haunted" Hayride, just bypass that one. If you enjoy sitting on a piece of wood with a tiny bit of straw, listening to "scary sounds" from the back of a tractor, driving through the dark while you're thinking to yourself, "Did I just really wait in line for this?" Good luck to anyone who goes looking for a good time because you won't find it here. Hands down horrible. read more

We went on Saturday 9/24, and judging by the other reviews, we were smart to spend the extra for VIP tickets. We decided to give Nightmare New England a go again after the mess from a few years ago. Knowing that going in, if it was terrible again, we had no one to blame but ourselves. I purchased our tickets online (but heads up - these still need to be redeemed at the ticket window once you get there.) The ticket taker/seller warned us about the long lines, and told us if we wanted, we could take general admission for the night and come back VIP any other night of the season. No thanks. We didn't think we were going to want to come back. We started at Freakshow, which I swear hasn't changed since 2008, but is still fun. We got through that line (VIP) in about 20-30 minutes. Next was The Colony, which was probably my least favorite. Same wait in that line. They must be short staffed (hence the help wanted signs...) because there were next to no actors in there. Whatever...it was a nice walk through the woods. We hit up the go-karts and batting cages next, which are free with your VIP passes. Heads up on these: they shut down at 11:00. We were right next to the Hay Ride, so we figured we would do that next, and that line was the longest. We were in line for about half an hour, which I didn't mind at all because they had a big screen next to the line playing my favorite movie - Beetlejuice. The Haunted Hay Ride - in my opinion - was worth the price of admission alone. It was amazing. Creatures popping out of the woods when you least expect it, creepy noises, pyrotechnics, backwoods hillbillies, CLOWNS, fire, tree houses, and the most amazing display or spiders I've ever seen. I loved it. I didn't want it to end. It was a mile long, and went winding through the woods for a good 20 minutes. If I could spend the entire night on the hayride, I would. When we exited the hayride, a staff member asked us if we had seen everything, as they were getting ready to close (it was almost 1 AM) We told her we hadn't been through Carnage yet, so she walkie-talkied over to the people running the line, and told them our group was headed that way. I thought that was nice touch. Carnarge was awesome. You have to see it, my words won't do it justice. If you're claustrophobic though, skip it. We got stuck behind two girls who were refusing to go through one part, which was annoying, and took a bit to sort out. It sucks that so many people had such a shitty night, because we had so much fun. They completely redeemed themselves from two years ago, and we're going back again in a few weeks. Brigham Manor was closed, but we knew that going in (and I don't know how everyone else didn't. It was listed on their website, on Facebook, and on the ticket windows.) We probably wouldn't have had time to do everything if they were open anyway. I guess if I could offer any tips, they would be: be patient, lines are long. Get there early. Spend the extra for VIP. Eat before (or after) you go so you don't waste time in the RIDICULOUS concession lines. Make sure you do the hayride first, that has the longest wait. read more

I absolutely love the Halloween season and go to as many haunts as I can during the fall. I've gone to Nightmare New England the past couple years now and the experience I had last night was the worst compared to any haunt I've ever been to. The lines were the scariest part. I got there at 8pm and didn't get in to my first haunt (3D clowns) until 11pm. The actors were terrible. All they did was stare at you. Not even a single clown laugh. And there were so few of them. It was such a disappointing experience for waiting all that time. My group decided to hit up the hayride next. Again, a miserable line. We got on the hayride at 1am. The sets are amazing, the acting is much less than amazing. And again, super under staffed. I do like how the actors come on the hayride itself and could possibly tough you. When we got off the hayride, we really wanted to hit up The Colony since it was a favorite from last year, but the park had closed. They say you can come back to hit up the rest of the attractions but I live an hour away, and I really do not want to experience this chaos again. The other issue that I had about the park was the lack of cleanliness. Every trash barrel was overflowing and there wasn't any staff working at emptying the trash and picking up the park. I live in MA, but my favorite NH haunt is Fright Kingdom. It's scarier and you won't spend the entire night waiting in lines. read more

**Spooky World is now @ Canobie Lake for the 2008 season..I have to give major props to Canobie..see my review!!!** I remember the days when Spooky World was in Berlin, Ma. Those were the days when it was actually "SPOOKY". The 1 hour + drive was worth every minute to get there and go on the best hayride (to this day) I have ever experienced.. I met Elvira..Come on! Who the wouldn't want to meet the "Queen or horror"??? I met "Leatherface"..I was so excited...I actually had to get out of line twice to pee..Seriously. They had this tremendous gift shop, with every imaginable Halloween costume you could think of! Horror masks that were professionally made by hand! Not the kind that come from China and get re-called in two months. Unfortunately, those days are gone! That was then and this is now. I was so excited and planned this big horror night with 16 of us! All from the ages of 12-42. Ticket prices were actually very reasonable. You can get a coupon at your local Tedeschi's, McDonalds, Store 24 or Market basket and it'll only cost 19.99. If not it's 23.99 at the gate. The park itself was decorated amazing! I'm not sure if it was Canobie's doing or Spooky Worlds..My guess..is Canobie's! There are several different Spooky World attraction. All the monsters do not come out until 7:00 PM..Be aware of this, it doesn't state that anywhere on the website and we were there at 5:00 pm. Which was alright because we just kept going on the roller coasters without any lines. Which is never possible in the Summer at Canobie! The Park opens at 5:00 and parking is free. The three major Spooky World attractions are the 3-D lab, The crypt and Monster mansion. Here's what i think... The 3-D Lab: You enter in a line that took about an hour...get to a very UN SCARY woman who hands you glasses and you go through an entire wooded maze of neon painted walls and floors. I think I saw more neon in the 80's movie "Pretty in Pink." A matter of fact, I think Ducky scared me more than half these monsters. It was an absolute joke. There were two monsters in the whole thing. One with a lab coat that just screamed through some bar windows. .AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Phew! Glad that's over..I was scared. Then there's this guy with minimal horror facial features with a chainsaw! Been there, done that. I think you need to come up with a little bit more original ideas Spooky world. There were actually a few props that were made of foam material (that you were warned NOT TO TOUCH at the entrance) that looked like they pulled out of my 93 year old neighbors garbage. Yes..that bad! The best part is when you come out and out of no where someone rips your glasses off and says nothing! I think that was the scariest part of the entire spooky world trip. She scared the sh** of me! On to "The crypt": I really had high hopes on this one..I really, really did! I tried. More plywood.. More foamy looking monsters that really needed more charging because they could barely get up from the bed they were in. I actually felt bad for one and thought I should help it up. There were a few cheesy aliens. Some more UN SCARY monsters walking around jumping around at you. The best part of this one is when I ran up about 20 feet and hid in a corner and scared the crap out of my friend and his girlfriend. They screamed like school girls at Miley concert.. Hilarious! They said on the ride home: "Kathy, the best part and scariest part of the whole night is when you jumped out at us in the dark and scared the crap out of us..we almost had heart attacks." Hmmm...I thought.. Note to self: "Must apply to Spooky World next year to actually help their ratings and actually keep the "Spooky". "Monster Mansion": This was by far, the scariest. It had the most monsters. It was the most scariest everywhere you turned there was someone popping out at you. Now that's a Haunted House! It was really dark inside and sort of creepy looking. I still wasn't scared by any means, nor was anyone else. But, this was the best of all three. I would give Spooky World 1 star..BUT..I'm giving it 2 stars because there were several monsters walking around outside including: Frankenstein, a black and white jester, This big huge grim reaper on stilts and a lady in a body bag. They were amazing. They really interacted with crowd and made it fun and kept the crowd going. That's how the "OLD" Spooky World was. If they were smart, they'd go back to their old ways. I don't think I'll ever return to Spooky World..just not "Spooky" enough for me..or even really that fun.. YOU WANNA SEE SOMETHING REALLY SCARY????? GO TO BARRETTS HAUNTED MANSION IN ABINGTON, MA!! read more

Every year I look forward visiting spooky world but this year was disappointing for sure! I never remember paying to park, and they had everybody park so close to each other it was impossible to pull out at the end. There was barely monsters inside the haunted houses, it use to be a ton better. Especially the hay ride was so disappointing compared to three years ago when I had went, I wish i had gotten scared for the price I paid. read more

Spooky world is a waste of time, and more importantly a waste of money. Had a terrible time, the employees / actors were not happy to be there. i then found out, they are all paid minimum wage it used to be good years ago. its really gone down hill everyone i know was dissapointed in the Litchfield NH location. The Fenway Park location was just as bad. Save your money, and go somewhere else, Besides Spooky World, its really over rated I want my Money Back !!! 2011 - 50% Less Employees , from last year 2010 - Started going down hill, but was okay This place is not good for Kids This place is not good for Adults read more

Social distancing is a joke here. You have to wait in a line to get into the hayride, we're everyone is gathered on top of each other. The workers didn't make any announcements about social distancing and there was nothing to promote social distancing besides one lousy sign that said "please practice social distancing". No markers or anything. Nothing was being sanitized in between use either. We got on the hayride and they didn't sanitize it before we used it nor did they sanitize when we got off. Overall, I didn't feel safe coming here one bit. If you're at all concerned about COVID I would recommend you skip it this year. There are plenty of other spooky attractions this season that are properly following COVID guidelines that I would rather have spent my money on. Not to mention the batting cages and other arcade areas were not being sanitized at all. There was dirt and hair all over the helmet for the batting cages, which wouldn't have been there if they took 10 seconds to clean it. read more

There has been a lot of hype about this place and I'm not sure why. This was my first time going and I had pretty high expectations after hearing the advertisements and going on their website. The place is decorated very well but unfortunately the actors really lack enthusiasm. Nothing about any of the haunted houses or hay ride was scary. They only had a couple actors per house and unfortunately they were not very creative. I didn't get scared once, and for the price we paid that's a real shame. Do better Spooky World! read more
