From: Haunted Forest At Panic Point
The Highest Rated Haunted Attraction in North Carolina is OPEN This Friday and Saturday at 7:30. We’ve got 100 monsters scaring in 5 attractions and 38 unique scenes. All connected to the massive Midway with fires, food, music, games, and more monsters!
Attractions
Haunted Forest
The Haunted Trail is the attraction where you will find the most scenes, haunters, and screams at Panic Point. 12 distinct scenes over the dim half-mile trail challenge your readiness for mayhem and fright. Make your way through the Butcher Shop, Sawmill, Puppet Master’s Parlour, Witchs’ Lair, Junkyard, Pallet Maze, Sanatorium, Motel, Cemetery, Mortuary, and Clown Town.
It doesn’t matter if you are out front leading the way, hiding in the middle, or trailing behind your group, our veteran haunters will find a way to give you the scare you deserve. Every now and then we hear a story about a great scare that happened in the woods. The patron/victim gives a description of the haunter, and we realize we don’t have anyone that fits the description! So, stay on the trail.
Dark Trail: "Swamp"
Born in 2011 as the Dark Walk, this fan-favorite has graduated to legendary status as the DARK TRAIL. The signature rope on both sides of the trail remains, but that’s the only way this haunted attraction resembles its earlier iteration. As the story goes, Doomsday Preppers affiliated with the Stalker Family set up a compound in the woods and started recruiting other disturbed individuals to help the work of preparing for The End.
As they laid the groundwork for surviving Armageddon, they were forced to expel two of the young women who had been caught stealing supplies from the root cellar. Bitter and vengeful, the two "ladies" set about to curse the Stalker clan. For a year they spent every waking hour studying methods to cast a fog over the compound that would doom the doomsdayers eternally in the accursed swamp.
It worked. One by one the little group was overcome by the incantation that slowly ate their internal organs. The creatures vary in their degree of malevolence, but all of them are dangerous. Every. Single. One. You’ll find them in The Lair, Vortex, Cave, School Bus, Old Barn, Farm House, and Swamp. When you’re staggering along in sheer darkness, you’ll never know if you are in the clear, or one step away from your worst nightmare.
Hayride: Zombie Safari
We used to have a small monster problem. The "Back 20" at Panic Point was abandoned a few years ago after a series of maulings, so we sent in a group of highly skilled hunters to extract a small pack of what turned out to be werewolves. Mission accomplished with minimal casualties. Not the best thing for a Haunted House.
As you might expect, it got pretty boring over there, so we decided to see if we could attract some Zombies to the area. That was the easy part. This is the most haunted piece of property in NC. THEN we thought "What if we make pets out of them?" Some big brains at Panic Point set about to alter their DNA, or MRNA, or Hormones, or something, and it WORKED. The Zombie Safari was born.
Our Zombies look, feel, and act like "regular" zombies, but they stop short of sinking their teeth into your neck and ripping out your larynx with one bite. Its all the action and none of the death, which works out well for everyone. So hop on, have a seat, and join us on a fun, informative, and generally good time on the Howling Hayride at Panic Point
Killers in the Corn
Its just a short walk into horror on a trip to your own personal horror movie. As the wind passes through the stalks they whisper an invitation to go deeper, farther into the path of pain. But its not the wind or the stalks that will get you. Its the living, breathing, horrifying killers await you inside this trail of terror.
We’ve summoned some of the most vicious, bloodthirsty killers in the history of myth, and allowed them to equip themselves with the tools of their trade. When they work, its not murder, its artistry at its finest, and you just may end up on the canvas!
Stalkers Farm
Years ago the Stalker Family Farm produced a little bit of everything, both legal and illegal, providing the good life to multiple generations on the sacred family plot. But they weren’t the tallest stalks on the farm, and they got taken by an unscrupulous local ******** who foreclosed on their land. For the last 50 years, Stalkers dead, alive, part-alive, a little dead (you get the picture) have fought to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.
Don’t let the brutal bootleggers catch you near their Secret Still or poking around the Greenhouse. Beware "The Outhouse" and avoid The Combine that now processes a completely different kind of organic matter. And ain’t nobody in this field take kindly to strangers (or friends, for that mtter), especially the angry old ladies on "Granny’s Porch".
As you wind through the tall green you’ll be hit from all sides by free range haunters keen to graze on your pain. The slightest hint of fear hormones being released causes them to emerge in droves.
Carny Crypt
Puppets, Arise! In 2024 The dark mysteries of the Crypt continue to emerge from its rot, with the Magic of James Lee. Help him in his attempts to re-animate the puppets who make their home in the Crypt. This is a 7 minute live performance inside the Carny Crypt. For more of the History of this trailer of terror, read on…
In the mid-20th Century, the Blauer Bros. Carnival made annual stops in Youngsville. Notorious for dangerously decrepit rides and slum-like conditions for performers, no one was surprised by the rumors that it was haunted. After a fire tore through it in October of 1961 the Carnival closed for good because the Blauer Bros. disappeared into the ether. To this day, no one has heard from or seen them again.
Their makeup trailer was the only structure to survive the blaze, but it was badly damaged and was dumped in the Louisburg Railyard, where it sat for over 40 years. In 2010, during a rail yard clean out, the trailer was earmarked for the landfill; but Panic Point rescued and restored it. For the first couple of years it served as the park makeup trailer but after several… incidents our artists and actors refused to step foot inside. In 2013 it was converted to a Haunted Attraction known as The Carny Crypt.
The incidents kept happening. So, in 2021 when the trailer was again in need of repairs, we gathered every old photo we could find, and we restored it as best we could to its original form as a Carny Makeup Trailer.
In 2021 we played an old tape recording we found that was made the night of the fire. In 2022 we called in Atlas Paranormal to make contact with the specters who allegedly inhabited the trailer. In 2023 we took it a step further an attempted to team up with them, but the events inside the trailer were so bloody and deadly that we called it off. Now in 2024 the strangeness continues, with James Lee and his otherworldly puppets.
This Attraction is not included in General Admission, and requires a separate ticket. The Carny Crypt Experience is about 5 minutes long. Tickets are $5 – purchase online when you buy your Panic Point tickets, or inside the venue.

Our incredible beer partner, Tobacco Wood will be pouring pints in the Midway beginning at 7:30. The pour will end 30 minutes after our Attraction Lines close (assuming good weather that means the pour will go until at least 10pm).
