Fall is officially here, and you know what that means: cooler weather, the leaves are changing color, and Nashoba Valley is filled with witches and other frightful creatures. Starting this Friday, September 29, and operating every Thursday through Sunday during the month of October, including Halloween, Witch’s Woods in Nashoba Valley Ski Area will be open.

If you have never been to Witch’s Woods you are quite frankly missing out on a truly hexing event. Every night of its operation will include seven different attractions with almost 200 characters. The actors of this “Live Halloween Screampark” have terrifying costumes and makeup designed to make them look like real life monsters. Get spooked on any of these seven scary attractions including the Haunted Hayride, a 17-minute long hayride with scary stories and other unexpected happenings. You can even “treat” yourself to the “Best Scare” of 2016, Vampire Passage. Witch’s Woods even offers carnival games to enjoy as well as hourly shows. 

 

Spook-tacular attractions and exhibits at Witch’s Woods 2017 include:

Witch’s Woods Haunted Hayride All New Theme – “Summer Camp from the 1980s”

Our signature attraction at Witch’s Woods is a thrilling hayride right out of your worst nightmares. This year, step back in time to a 1980s Summer Camp! The Hayride will take guests on a tour of the deserted camp ground, along with our camp counselors, who will tell the scary stories once told around the campfires. However, a blood-thirsty, demonic family still lives on the property and now these legends appear to have come to life along the ride! New England’s longest hayride lasts a scary 17 minutes… Unless you never make it out of Witch’s Woods!

 

Vampire Passage Voted “Best Scare” in 2016 … “Where the Night Has Fangs”

Many years ago, 13 heavily armed men were seen carrying a large oblong box into these very woods. The box was tightly wrapped in chains and locks. Legend has it, that the box contained the remains of a legendary female Vampire. Their mission was to take her to a secret trail deep in the woods and burn the evil creature, destroying her reign of terror! As the sun rose, the authorities only found what was left of the men, shattered pieces of wood and broken chains. Some say, she and her fanged minions roam the passage at night, hissing and clawing like wild animals in search of new victims, desperate to spread the Vampire’s Curse!
