Here’s When Fright Fest at Six Flags New England Opens This Year

One thing I love about the fall season is that it's also haunted house season. Ever since I was a little kid, I loved going through haunted house attractions, scary mazes, spooky hay rides, and more. You name it, I did. I even dressed up as Michael Myers and participated in a haunted house attraction many moons ago. One of the most popular haunted attractions throughout Massachusetts and New England is set to open this weekend.

According to Six Flags' website, Fright Fest is an intensely scary Halloween event and is not recommended for children younger than 13, but the kiddos can check out the park's Boo Fest and Oktoberfest events.

Being a longtime fan of slasher movies, one particular attraction that piques my interest is Camp Killamore. The description reads:

Navigate this haunted summer camp as you try to make it out alive and remember....don't drink the water.

If you are into spooky carnivals and freak shows, there's an attraction at the park entitled CarnEvil. Here's the description.

Join the carnival mayhem as freak show characters , performers and wicked clowns beckon you to join the fun.

For you fans of the dead, there is also an attraction titled Necropolis: City of the Dead. Description below.

Explore a ghostly city where the party never ends-dance carefully or you may never leave.
