QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS

Why is FrightWorks closing or moving?2026-07-02T19:25:20-04:00

The building FrightWorks currently occupies has been sold to a new buyer, and the current owner wants to deliver the building tenant-free.
While this is not ideal, especially this close to October, we have reached an agreement with the landlord that allows us to remain long enough to hold one final weekend of shows before moving out by July 31.

Is FrightWorks closing permanently?2026-07-02T19:31:13-04:00

We hope not.
Right now, the future of FrightWorks is unclear, but we are actively looking for opportunities. It would be amazing to find a new home and reopen this October, but for that to happen, the right location, funding, approvals, and timing would all need to fall into place very quickly.
Even if we are unable to open this October, our goal is to protect as much of FrightWorks as possible while we search for the next path forward.

What are the final shows?2026-07-02T19:32:43-04:00

We are opening for one last weekend at our current location:
Friday, July 10, 6PM-9PM — No-Actor Walk-Through
A special no-actor experience where guests can take their time, enjoy the atmosphere, take photos, and say goodbye to the haunt as it stands today.
Saturday, July 11, 7PM-11PM — Final Full FrightWorks Show
One last full FrightWorks show at our current location, with actors, scares, and the energy our guests know and love.

Can I use my season pass for the final shows?2026-07-02T19:33:51-04:00

Yes. Our season pass holders have been some of our most loyal and dedicated supporters, and season passes will be honored for the final shows at our current location.
That said, we know many of you may choose to purchase a ticket, support the FrightWorks Moving Fund, or help in another way to support the future of FrightWorks. Any additional support is deeply appreciated, but not required.
If you have a valid season pass, you are welcome to use it.

How can I help?2026-07-02T19:39:43-04:00

The best way to help right now is to purchase a ticket to one of our final shows.
Your support helps us raise the money needed to dismantle, move, store, and hopefully reopen FrightWorks in some form.
If you are unable to attend but still want to help, you can support the FrightWorks Moving Fund. Every bit of support helps us move forward.

Do you need a new location?2026-07-02T19:37:41-04:00

Yes.
If you know of a facility that could host a haunted house, or other spooky themed attraction, especially if you have a building ready and waiting for something like FrightWorks, please let us know.
A suitable location would need enough space for a haunted attraction, parking, guest flow, storage, and the necessary approvals to operate safely.

Where can I follow updates?2026-07-02T19:39:24-04:00

Please follow FrightWorks on social media and check this website for updates. We will share new information as soon as we have it.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and all the years of screams, memories, and nightmares.
