The Haunt The Haunt The Haunt

The Massacre at Sullivan Farm

The Story begins when Captain Spaldo’s traveling circus and collection of oddities came through for a special engagement at the Sullivan Family Farm, but when the Sullivan’s precious little angel, Maribelle, goes missing one night, the terror began. 

The Horror Continues

In a fit of rage, the Sullivan family reaps vengance on the traveling band of misfits, condemning them to roam the farm for all eternity, but the terror did not end there. The Sullivan family’s bloodlust could not be fufilled and haunts the grounds to this day.

Since Nightmare in the Hills is an outdoor haunted attraction, there's always a chance that rain or storms may impact your visit. We'll do everything we can to keep the trail open - as long as it's safe to operate. For example, we may operate the trail if it's raining, but we may need to close the trail if there are high winds or lighting is detected nearby.

In the interest of safety, we reserve the right to delay, suspend, or cancel start times for each night if there is a safety concern as a result of, but not limited to, inclement or severe weather. If severe weather persists or it's not safe to operate, we may have to close the trail for the night.

Don't worry - If you've bought tickets and there is an unexpected closure, all tickets that have been purchased may be redeemed for another night or start time. 

The Summit offers complimentary WiFi for our guests.

After you join, you may need to open the internet browser on your phone or device and attempt to navigate to a webpage, which will prompt you to click "connect." Once you click connect, you should be connected fully to the internet!
