Fright Nights, the largest haunted house event in the Palm Beaches with four full haunts, carnival rides, live music, food and entertainment, is looking to scare some willing souls.
The 22nd annual event — which was named by the Haunted Attraction Association as one of the “Top Haunted Attractions” across the country for six years running — will open Friday, Oct. 4 at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
After the Oct. 4 opening night, Fright Nights will continue to be held on every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October. The midway will open at 6 p.m., and the haunted houses will open at 7 p.m. Closing time is at 11 p.m. on Thursdays and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Two scare zones, Seasons Beatings and the Smiths, are being planned, along with four haunts: Autumn of Terror, Nightmare in Yamato, Nuclear Beats and The Ritual. For a full description, visit www.myfrightnights.com/current-haunts.
Event tickets cost $45 and include admission and 35 “fright credits.” These credits can be used on haunted houses (10 credits per house) or midway rides (three to five credits per ride). Additional credits may be purchased on the midway at the following prices: $1 for 1 fright credit; $10 for 10 fright credits; $20 for 25 fright credits; and $40 to 55 fright credits.
New this year is the Dead Ringers Club. Event organizers say it’s an experience like no other, designed to plunge members into the depths of fear. This exclusive, elite VIP package grants them admission to all four haunts, entry to the RIP Lounge, and a fast pass to bypass the lines. As a token of their bravery, they’ll receive a swag bag of items. Complimentary parking is included. Each ticket is $150 per person, limited to only 100 souls per night.
Additionally, there are several ways to save. A BOGO deal, valid only on Thursdays, will be offered for Oct. 10, 17 and 24. Buy one regular Fright Nights ticket at $45 and get one regular Fright Night ticket free. BOGO tickets must be purchased in advance online. BOGO ticket sales will end each Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. and become available for purchase again on the following Friday.
