Scary Acres RI – The Nightmare Returns in 2026
Every fall, thousands of brave souls make their way to Scary Acres RI to find out just how much fear they can handle. The screams echo through the fields, the monsters come alive, and once the sun goes down, there’s no telling what—or who—is waiting around the next corner.
But for 2026, we wanted more. And this October, you’ll experience Scary Acres like never before.
Dark Harvest Hayride presents
CarnEvil
The circus has come to Scary Acres… and you're part of the show.
New for 2026, the Dark Harvest Hayride presents CARNEVIL—a massive, twisted carnival nightmare where the clowns have taken over.
The lights are on.
The music is playing.
The laughter is getting closer.
But this isn't a circus you came to watch.
You're the entertainment.
Enter a world of deranged performers, twisted carnival chaos, and terrifying surprises designed to attack your senses from every direction.
Once your wagon enters CARNEVIL, there's only one way out…
Straight through the madness.
Revamped for 2026
The Burial Grounds
You thought you knew the Burial Grounds. You were wrong.
For 2026, one of Scary Acres' darkest areas has been completely revamped.
The graves have been disturbed.
The dead aren't resting.
And something beneath the ground has been waiting for October.
With rebuilt sets, new scares, and an even darker atmosphere, the Burial Grounds return in 2026 more terrifying than ever.
Some things should stay buried. We dug them up anyway.
Enter the Bayou
The Dark Castle
The road disappears. The fog gets thicker. Suddenly… you're somewhere you don't belong.
The road disappears.
The fog gets thicker.
And suddenly… you're somewhere you don't belong.
For 2026, enter deeper into the Bayou and discover an entirely new nightmare rising from the swamp.
A new dark castle towers over the darkness, guarding the entrance to a place consumed by curses, rituals, and something far more sinister.
Beyond its walls lies… Voodoo Town.
The Bayou has a new master
Voodoo Town
Strange rituals fill the night, and cursed inhabitants roam the streets.
Step into Voodoo Town, where the deeper you travel, the harder it becomes to find your way back out.
The drums are beating.
The fires are burning.
And something has been summoned.
Whatever you do… don't let it follow you home.
2026 Will Be Different
This isn’t the same Scary Acres you survived last year. We’ve rebuilt. We’ve expanded. We’ve gone darker.
From the twisted madness of CARNEVIL, to the newly revamped Burial Grounds, to the towering Dark Castle and cursed streets of Voodoo Town—2026 brings an entirely new level of fear to Scary Acres RI.
The fields are waiting. The monsters are ready. And this October… Fear Lives Here.
