YOU MAY HAVE SURVIVED THE DARK HOLLOWS BEFORE…

BUT THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

No hayride.

No shortcuts.

No quick escape.

This year, you’ll travel on foot through an all-new 45-minute journey into the legendary old Haul Away Timber Co.

The trail is longer. The woods are darker. And something beneath the trees has awakened.
