The clock is ticking down. Can you escape before the clock strikes midnight? History: Spooky World first opened its doors in Berlin, Massachusetts back in 1991. The original horror scream park featured haunted houses, sideshow attractions, celebrities and a notorious haunted hayride. The park was soon after deemed New England's largest and most terrifying horror scream park, becoming a household name. Seven years later, Spooky World moved its location to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts to partner with the Kraft family. With the growth and development of One Patriot Place back in 2005, Spooky World found itself looking for a new home. Displaced for a couple of years, Spooky World bounced around from Boston Bayside Expo Center (Boston, MA) and Canobie Lake Park (Salem, NH). In the Fall of 2009, Spooky World joined forces with the horror scream park powerhouse, Nightmare New England, to create America's number one haunted destination in the Northeast. It’s now permanently headquartered in Litchfield, NH at the property of the famous Mel’s Funway Park. Throughout the years Spooky World has continued to grow and win awards thanks to a creative team that is always looking for a new way to deliver a fright. And they are no stranger to publicity, hosting events like a truly unique real horror-glam wedding. In 2015, Spooky World took on one of its most ambitious projects by creating a mile-long Haunted Hayride - unlike any other in the region.  Click <a href="https://www.nightmarenewengland.com/calendar.html">here</a> for tickets and full schedule.
