Knott’s Scary Farm Announces Returning Mazes for 2022


Knott’s Scary Farm has announced its returning mazes for the 2022 Halloween season. The maze lineup was announced via social media on Wednesday, along with a trailer showcasing some of the mazes.

This year’s lineup of returning mazes includes:

Pumpkin Eather

Returning for its fifth year, this murderous nursery rhyme-inspired maze will again take guests back to colonial times where they’ll face the terrifying world of a serial killer and must escape the wrath of a murderous seven-foot-tall creature that haunts the woods surrounding The Hollow.

Origins: The Curse of Calico

Origins: The Curse of Calico is inspired by the beginnings of Knott’s Scary Farm and is what maze designer Jon Cooke has referred to as a “love letter to the history of this event.” The backstory of the maze is built upon Knott’s Scary Farm’s origins in Ghost Town and the witch hanging shows performed in the 1980s. Guests enter the maze and watch as the witch’s curse takes over the Calico townsfolk and then experience the mystery of the Calico witch as it unravels.

Dark Ride

Dark Ride returns for its fifth Scary Farm season. The fan-favorite maze saw some significant enhancements in 2019 with the addition of an interactive control room and gift shop exit scene.

Dark Entities

Now in its fourth year, Dark Entities will again take guests into the depths of space to face the extraterrestrial mutation invading a lone space station.

Mesmer: Sideshow of the Mind

Mesmer made its debut at Knott’s Scary Farm in 2021 and quickly became a favorite thanks to its special effects and immersive story elements. Release your inner thoughts and descend into a world of madness, torture, and eerie enlightenment in this haunted maze. There you will uncover the grotesque secrets hidden as you brave through the most terrifying show ever created.

The Depths

Returning for the fourth year, The Depths, will return for 2022 and will again send guests into the underground caves of a seaside town where terrifying horrors are said to lurk and where the Nightwatch Mining Crew vanished.

Wax Works

Introduced as the first new maze of 2019, Wax Works returns for its third Scary Farm season to take guests into an eerie abandoned wax museum where once-prominent plastic surgeon Dr. Agustus Scratch turns his victims into his latest works of art.

Knott’s Scary Farm returns on select nights from September 22 – October 31. Tickets go on sale August 15.
