Knott’s Scary Farm 2019

Knott’s Scary Farm 2019

By Kirstin

Boo! It is that time of year again when all of the ghosts, ghouls and every un-dead creature roams our favorite Southern California theme park! I am of course talking about Knott’s Scary Farm 2019!  Back for it’s 47th year, the preview that we went to last week spoke of new horrors we could never have imagined in the wildest fog of our nightmares!

Scary Farm 2019 will be 26 frightful nights from September 19- November 2nd, 2019.

Every inch of Knott’s Scary Farm is filled with the un-dead, bloodcurling beasts, spine-chilling scares, and un-earthly surprises.  14 haunted attractions await those who dare to enter the parks other-worldly domain.  There will be 4 spine tingling scare zones, 9 menacing mazes, and the spooky overhaul of Timber Mountain Log ride!

This year, 2 new mazes will join the time tested favorites.

Imagine hearing strange noises and eerie lights coming from the old abandoned wax museum!  Spooky enough in the day time, the prominent plastic surgeon, Dr. Augustus Scratch, welcomes you to stay… forever. Those wax figures look awfully familiar, don’t they? Ignore the rumors of bloodcurdling screams that filled the nights before.  What was that noise?! It must be the new WAXWORKS Maze!

All fans of Knott’s Berry Farm are familiar with the history of Calico Ghost Town, aren’t they? Why do you feel strange ghostly presence as you stumble through the fog walking through Calico? Discover how Sarah Marshall is put on trial for suspected crimes of witchcraft and discover who is behind all of the curses through the town, the Green Witch! What are all those horrific creatures with the eternal thirst for the living? Oh those are just the Calico townsfolk whom she cursed! Find ORIGINS: The Curse of Calico, if you dare.

Need a break from being scared out of your minds?  Knott’s Scary Farm has teamed up with the Jim Henson Company to make a show that will have you peeing in your pants for a different reason! You might actually only die laughing though. PUPPET UP!-Uncensored will have your sides splitting as you the audience control this outrageous, off-the-cuff live show featuring a combination of improvisional comedy and the magic of puppetry performed by world class comedian puppeteers. Think, Whose Line is it Anyway but a little more raunchy and brazen. With Brian Henson(son of Jim Henson) and  Patrick Bristow(director of Ellen, Seinfeld and Whose Line is it Anyway), this show is a win-win. However, I do NOT recommend this show for younger audiences due to its adult content.
