US theme park Halloween seasonal event announcements

Overview

Major theme parks have begun announcing details for their 2026 Halloween seasonal events.

Kings Island announced its Halloween Haunt, running from September 25 through October 31, which will feature new attractions including the maze ‘JASON: Blood Reign’ and the show ‘Metal Massacre’.

Knott’s Scary Farm in Southern California revealed updates for its 2026 season, including new mazes such as ‘Inked’ and ‘Unearthed’, as well as the entertainment offering ‘Occultum’. Subsequent details from the park included an official event map and a themed food and drink menu featuring items like ‘The Stabbed Cheddar’ and ‘Zombie Brain Funnel Cake’.

The park has since debuted its full 2026 lineup, which consists of ten haunted house mazes. The new attractions ‘Inked’ and ‘Unearthed’ are set to replace previous mazes ‘The Grimoire’ and ‘Mesmer’. While ‘Cinema Slasher’ has emerged as a top-rated experience in reviews, the park confirmed that ‘Origins: The Curse of Calico’ and ‘The Chilling Chambers’ will conclude their runs after this season. The event will operate on specific evening schedules through October 31.
