THANK YOU, The Scare Factor!

We’re incredibly honored to have The Scare Factor review team, Team Nosferatour visit Fear Forest this season—and even more humbled to be ranked 3rd out of 241 attractions reviewed! We also ranked 3rd for the scariest attraction! 😱🖤

It’s an amazing feeling to be listed alongside so many top-tier haunts and some of our closest haunt friends. This community is something special, and we’re proud to be part of it.

None of this would be possible without our incredible Fright Crew, our dedicated build and setup team, and the unwavering support of our community.

You are the reason Fear Forest continues to grow, evolve, and terrify year after year.

Year 20 has been absolutely amazing, and we can’t wait for everyone to see what’s lurking in the shadows for 2026… 👀

Thank you all for helping us keep the fear alive!
