Knott’s Scary Farm will have plenty of zombie skulls, Dracula fingers, bloody desserts and deadly cocktails to fill your tummy when you’re done surveying all the disgusting entrails spilling out of disemboweled corpses at the annual Halloween event.
The 50th anniversary lineup at Knott’s Berry Farm will feature 10 haunted mazes, five scare zones and four live shows on select nights from Sept. 21 through Oct. 31.
Knott’s hosted a media preview on Thursday, Aug. 24 with samples of many of the food and beverages that will be available at Knott’s Scary Farm 2023.
