Scream Acres Returns to Starkey Wilderness Park

Folks looking for a Halloween fright might want to put Scream Acres on their agendas.

The annual event at Starkey Wilderness Park is making a two-night return just before Halloween. Each year, a horde of workers transform the park into a “scary haunted village” that features haunted houses, haunted trails and its own graveyard.

Designed to give serious frights, the event isn’t recommended for young children. In fact, kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, the Pasco County Parks and Recreation Department advises.

This year’s Scream Acres takes place Oct. 23 and 24 from 7 to 10 p.m. each night. The cost to enter is $1 per person.

Starkey Wilderness Park is located at 10500 Wilderness Park Road.
