Dark Woods Haunted Attraction® original outdoor haunt returns for 2022 with Ashes to Ashes!
After suffering a devastating fire in winter 2020, Dark Woods® returns from the ashes of flames and despair. Cursed by the Old Ones to suffer the smoldering sting of death and destruction or reborn to rise and reignite fear? The smoke and wreckage has cleared and the Dead Hand Society has conjured another tear in the veil. Fear will rise from the ashes!
"The Last Scream You Hear, May Be Your Own!"®
Dark Carnival 3D
A traveling carnival camped out at Dark Woods for the winter as it toured Louisiana’s rural communities. After encountering the evil lurking in the forests the star of the show loses his marbles.
With the ringmaster away, Boogie is bringing a whole new brand of terror to the Big Top. This masquerading maestro of mischief sets the stage with the Dark Carnival 3D. Enter Boogie’s nightmare in this 3D Blacklight Haunt. Twist and turn through hallways and rooms full of crazed clowns and other denizens of the dark. Meet his band of merry misfits and carnival creeps.
Victims will be immersed in an experience unlike any other, complete with state of the art special effects, sounds and lighting in the area’s first ChromaDepth® 3D attraction. Monsters are real and they come alive at night in the twisted halls of the Dark Carnival’s maze.
And remember, Boogie thinks mayhem is a laughing matter.
Dead Fall Trail, a nightmare of carnage, winding over 1/3 mile, where havoc is unleashed as guests navigate a portion of the derelict woods, falling victim to cruel creatures and deplorable killers.
Noodle, Piggy, Stumpy and Karver woke up an evil entity deep in Louisiana’s pine-hill forests. Now they water the ground with blood to feed the evil spirit from another time and place. After wrecking the boneyard and awakening spirits from generations past, the brothers’ menagerie of trapped and tormented souls leer from the shadows, waiting to ensnare the unwary traveler.
Dark Woods Haunted Attractions present an immersive themed experience with character actors, detailed costuming, realistic sets and Hollywood-style special effects.
Dead Fall Trail opens nightly at Dark.

Reviews
I have gone to many Haunted Attractions over the years in many states. This attraction was one of the most well put together experiences. The characters were outstanding and enjoyable and the staff was very friendly and outgoing. We will absolutely be visiting this and many other attractions in the future!!! Thank you for making my nieces birthday experience exactly what she wanted.

We had a phenomenal time. We've gone a few times and invited other couples and families. The fast pass is the best way to go!!! There is so much talent in these woods. It's a great, safe and clean atmosphere!!!! We look forward to it every year! We hope they start doing something in September to prep us for October!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're returning in a few weeks.

The park lines went quick and the scares were great. My daughter and her friend were screaming the whole time so you know we got our moneys worth.
The quality of the monsters / scares were some of the best I've seen. Park is spread out so you're never feeling like you're in a crowded area even though lots o' people were there. Concessions were top notch and yummy too!

Great haunted theme park throughout! Super long trail full of scares and lots to see. I won’t ruin the surprises we saw.
The 3D show has you winding through lots of scares and twists and turns. You feel you’ll never get out! Lol
The roaming characters are plentiful and very engaging.
Lots of food options and great merch to buy.
Also be sure to check out their new casket ride. That’s all I am gonna say about that. Totally worth the extra few bucks.
We’ll be back next season!

It was and absolutely amazing experience. I highly recommend this place. It was terrifying and enjoyable all at the same time. There is so much detail in the haunting environment and the haunted cast! They change it up every year so it’s always different and improving.
Couldn’t recommend it enough!
