Field of Screams is Vernon's annual haunted Halloween farm experience, set on Historic O'Keefe Ranch and presenting multiple spooky walking attractions that will send shivers down your spine.
Each October since 2013, this month-long Halloween event near Vernon ratchets up the horror with multiple tours, each geared for nightmarish fun.
This year’s theme is the tenth anniversary year and you can bet theatrical performances will be over the top, with four different mazes to explore.
Have a look at the themes for 2023, below, to get a sense of what to expect at this year's event. (Descriptions and images provided by Field of Screams.)
"Step into the shadowy depths of a forgotten tunnel and emerge into the eerie forest of Werewolf's Revenge. Within this twisted woodland, a reclusive hermit, once a war veteran, has turned to dark science, creating a new breed of werewolves that now stalk the night... Can you navigate the maze and escape their relentless hunt?"
"Explore the haunted corridors of an ancient castle in "Medieval Mayhem." Encounter ghostly figures such as a bloodthirsty executioner and a malevolent queen amidst chilling torture devices. Will you unravel the castle's dark secrets or become part of its ghastly legend?"
"Dare to enter the abandoned "Asylum," where the echoes of past torments linger. This maze presents decaying corridors and the spirits of former inhabitants eager to share their suffering. Can you endure the relentless terror within and avoid becoming a lost soul?"
"Set sail on the cursed "Ghost Ship Island," where haunted pirate captains guard their spectral treasures. Navigate through the ominous Cave of Wonders, encountering sea beasts and sirens. Will you brave the haunted waters and escape the ghostly perils?"
Field of Screams will once again be hosted at Vernon’s O’Keefe Ranch. For more info on the venue, visit the Field of Screams website.
