The leaves are turning, the air is getting chilly, and that means fall is here — and Halloween is right around the corner. For the lovers of the eerie and macabre, October is the best month of the year, and this year the ultimate scare attraction is in North Oxford.
The Spooky Maze in Massachusetts will send visitors into an eerie, interactive landscape filled with imposing figures, terrifying scare actors, and bizarre scenes that will surprise even the hardiest haunt-lover – and leave them wanting more. Sponsored by SmashIt2, Worcester County’s only smash room, the Spooky Maze started operating on October 1st and runs until October 30th every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Tickets for the Spooky Maze are available online, and a whole collection of ghouls, goblins, witches, and more are waiting to welcome you to the maze.
That is if you’re brave enough to discover who and what is lurking inside…
