Visitors will marvel at the unique Christmas sets, decor, props, figurines and animatronics which are used for the production. Combine the visuals with special effects, interaction and live actors, and you have some clue as to what to expect. But it's hard to expect the unexpected, as there are scares around every corner at this haunted holiday show. Chestnuts may not be the only thing roasting on an open fire.
To make the horror-days even more special, Micalizzi’s Italian Ice will be giving away free Oreo Candy-Cane and Eggnog flavored ice cream on Friday!
Additionally, Fright Haven will be holding a toy drive to benefit Sterling House House Community Center. Each new toy donated will serve as an entry into a raffle for a pair of VIP tickets to February’s “Valentine’s Day Massacre“ theme event (a $90 value!). Ten winners will be selected.
