Coffin Creek Halloween Haunt

Halloween 2024: CANCELED with plans to reopen in 2025. In an August 30 Facebook post, Coffin Creek announced: “Regrettably, due to continued City and Parks Department operating restrictions We have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel our highly anticipated 2024 Coffin Creek Haunted Village event. The unique features of Coffin Creek will not allow us to operate within the New Requirements. Maintaining the safety, security, and fun experience of our guests, actors, and crew is of the utmost importance. We know that this news is disappointing, but… we have made arrangements with FreaFarmIE.com to honor all CoffinCreek tickets this year. Fear Farm IE is located just 1 mile west of Coffin Creek at SC Village. They have 5 attractions similar to Coffin Creek, Fear Farm IE has different times and dates…”

Note: Coffin Creek Halloween Haunt’s Name & History:

Coffin Creek Halloween Haunt was briefly known as Crossroads Haunted Village.

As this Halloween haunt has grown over the years, its name has altered to reflect the changes. Originally, there was a single maze named “Coffin Creek,” later known as Coffin Creek Manor, Coffin Creek Asylum, or Coffin Creek Haunted House. After four more attractions took up residence in Crossroads Riverview Park, there was a confusing attempt to rebrand the expanded event. Though still commonly known as Coffin Creek, hand-outs and fliers were labeled “Crossroads Haunted Village.” There were even two websites: one with the old name, one with the new name. (Sharp-eyed readers, digging through our archives, will note that Hollywood Gothique’s 2013 write-up is titled “Crossroads Haunted Village Review.”)

After going on hiatus in 2015 (due to the death of the park’s owner), the haunt returned in 2016, once again using the Coffin Creek moniker. The attractions, which had previously been independently owned and operated, were now under single ownership; Figment Foundary, the company that had created the excellent Chambers of the Mausoleum and the Labyrinth of Lost Relics, was no longer involved. Consequently, only three attractions were in operation that Halloween: the Haunted Asylum of Coffin Creek, the Catacombs of Guasti Cemetery, and the Prado Witch Trail.

In 2017, Coffin Creek once again expanded to five attractions, adding The Dark Realm and the Shady Hollow Hayride. The haunt continued the next couple of years but had to do dark in 2020 because of the lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Coffin Creek’s five haunted attractions and the Dark Shadow Market Place returned to action the following year.

Halloween 2023’s attractions were Escape the Asylum, Zombie Wasteland, Prado Witch Trail, The Breach, and Carnival of Nightmares.
