2Creepy Hollow Haunted Woods
Now through October 29, and October 31
2133 Joe Brown Road, Spring Hill, Tennessee
Journey down the winding, dimly lit Trails of Terror, visit the Halls of Horror, and take a chance on the Zombie Maze. This is three Halloween activities in one location. Visitors will come face-to-face with their greatest fears. Monsters might be lurking around the old abandoned school bus, ghosts haunt the foggy cemetery where crumbling headstones cast shadows, and a fortune teller gives dire warnings before stepping into a maze filled with zombies – an activity sure to terrify even the bravest soul! It is open every Friday and Saturday night until Halloween, plus Halloween night. There will be a bonfire and concessions are available.
Time: 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. every Friday and Saturday night through October 29
