Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® takes Halloween to the spookiest level as Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington is transformed into the most haunting and immersive landscape packed with brand-new spine-tingling scare zones, terrifying haunted mazes inspired by iconic horror films, ghoulish characters that push courage to the limit, live entertainment and hair-raising attractions.
Six Flags Over Texas is the only theme park in the country offering an exclusive haunted maze inspired by the films The Strangers: Chapters 1 & 2. Making their return are haunted mazes based on other iconic films including New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring Universe, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), and SAW: Legacy of Terror.
In addition to six haunted houses, this year's Fright Fest offers five interactive scare zones, including four brand-new themed areas that are sure to terrify the bravest of souls. With award-winning live entertainment featuring uber frightening characters, plus limited-edition food, such as candy corn funnel cake or "Roadkill on a Stick," beverage and merchandise, guests are guaranteed a Halloween season to remember.
