Ten years ago this was a haunted barn and a garage party. This October, Eerie Acres Farm opens its tenth season, and we have spent all winter and spring making it the biggest build yet.

The dates

Season 10 runs October 2 through October 31, 2026: every Friday and Saturday in October, plus two Sundays that work nothing like each other.

Night Hours
Fri Oct 2 7–10 PM Opening Night
Sat Oct 3 7–10 PM
Fri Oct 9 7–10 PM
Sat Oct 10 7–10 PM Witches’ Night Out
Sun Oct 11 12–5 PM No-Scare Sunday
Fri Oct 16 7–10 PM

Fri Oct 23 7–10 PM

That is eleven haunt nights, plus No-Scare Sunday in the daylight. The haunt itself opens at dark; gates and the Midway open at 7.

The two Sundays

No-Scare Sunday, October 11, noon to 5. Lights on, monsters off duty, a daytime walk-through of the sets. It is built for young kids and for anyone curious about how the whole thing is made without a chainsaw involved. $10 a head, two and under free.

Sunday Night Haunt, October 18, 7 to 9. Full scare operation, no compromises. We added this one after one too many conversations with people who work Friday and Saturday nights and have never once been able to come.

Witches’ Night Out, October 10

Come dressed as a witch or a warlock and get a discount at the ticket booth. Note the date: Witches’ Night Out is on Saturday the 10th this year, not the 17th.

What’s new for Season 10

We do not spoil our own haunt, but here is what we will admit to: new scenes inside the main building, a reworked stretch of the cornfield, and a few characters who have been “in development” in the barn since November. The Midway returns free as always, with food trucks, the Grain Bin pouring Helltown Brewing and Creekside Cellars Winery, and the biggest bonfire in town.
