Spooky World- Nightmare New England

Spooky World!


This past weekend I was lucky enough join Blog and Tweet Boston on an adventure at Spooky World- Nightmare New England in Litchfield, NH. It is located just outside Manchester, NH in a field behind a "fun park" set back in the woods, and quite frankly, in the middle of no where New Hampshire. Perfect! The field is just as creepy as you would expect, dark and gloomy, with just the right amount of mud on the ground to make it as though you aren't behind a tiny mini-golf area. To make matters even more exciting, it happened to be raining this night (which was fantastic for lines, as there was none. Rumor has it these lines tend to get up to an hour long with no VIP pass [a pass similar to a "fast pass" at Disney]). The crew at Spooky World was kind enough to provide us with ponchos!


Fashion Statement!
 

Spooky World is complete with 5 haunted houses/areas, paintball, fire pit, a beer tent, and a concession area. The haunted houses closest to the main entrance seem to be more fun to make you laugh, and the farther back you go, the scarier things get. To start it off, you immediately hop in the line for a Freak Show 3D house that is pretty "trippy" There are black lights, bright colors and of course, you must wear 3D glasses. The glasses are tough to keep on, but they kept me laughing.

 

Enough of the silliness! Let's get to the good part. Make sure you don't miss the Colony, the line is a bit hidden between paintball and the back haunted house. The best haunted area here! I was consistently on my toes and grabbing my boyfriends jacket. You are outside walking through mini houses during this thrilling tour. A guide helps you out to make sure you go the correct way, but don't worry, he doesn't make you feel safe whatsoever! Try to get to this area alone, it'll only make it more exciting and keep your heart beating! Look for the sign shown below! Ps. I hope you like chainsaws!

 


The last house I'll give some hints about, is directly in the back and the most visible attraction here as its the classic haunted house look. This house creeks, has secret spots where the actors hide, and overall a great crew working it. The laughs and cackles are on point. You'll go through a tour of the little children wanting to play on to the kitchen areas, where...well you can assume they want to serve you some body part meal. You'll find yourself peaking around corners to check out the next room before you enter!

 
 
The concessions had your typical carnival food, but always tasty. You'll find an array of turkey legs, hot dogs, sausages, fries, chicken fingers, fried dough, candy apples, popcorn, etc. Don't expect any salads here! Just go right on in and take a huge bite of those candy apples...they're just as tasty as you remember...
...As long as you know how to attack it!

The night is definitely worth the while, but if it's busy I highly recommend splurging for the VIP passes. Otherwise, you will be stuck in snake-like lines for quite a long time. With all that said, check it out! It is a great fall night activity for all ages. I'll leave you with some actors getting painted ready to take on the night to scare all of you! Happy scaring!
