Let’s hope you also have the navigational skills to find your way out.

One of the most popular attractions isHarvest a corn maze filled with creepy characters like zombies and evil clowns.

In fact, a couple with two young children got lost there in 2011 and called 911 for help.

“We thought this would be fun,” the young mother told the dispatcher.

“Instead, it’s a nightmare.

I don’t know what made us do this.”

One day, he mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

A mix of monsters, animatronics, and pyrotechnics makes a walk among these stalks the ultimate spookfest.

Just make a run at escape without becoming part of their dark harvest.

You might even run into the Headless Horseman himself.
