August 11, 2025, Press Release from Kings Island:
MASON, Ohio – The screams are about to get louder at Kings Island as Halloween Haunt presented by SNICKERS® returns select days and nights, Sept. 19 – Nov. 2. The fright factor hits extreme levels with the introduction of The Conjuring: Beyond Fear, an interactive, SCREAMium experience. In addition to all the park’s rides and attractions, Halloween Haunt features six haunted mazes, five immersive scare zones, event-themed foods, electric live shows and an entire park transformed for the sights and sounds of the season.
The Conjuring: Beyond Fear
This new, SCREAMium experience will have guests navigate iconic scenes from New Line Cinema’s The Conjuring Universe to lock away cursed artifacts before supernatural chaos is unleashed. Guests will encounter legendary entities such as The Nun, The Crooked Man, and The Ferryman as they race to restore order and lock Annabelle back in her secure box – or risk catastrophic consequences for the living realm. With state-of-the-art effects, screen-to-scream environments and a series of chilling interactive challenges in an experience spanning more than twenty minutes, The Conjuring: Beyond Fear plunges guests deeper than ever before into The Conjuring Universe.
Halloween Haunt Maze Updates
Halloween Haunt’s lineup of haunted mazes grows to new heights and frights with the debut of Order of the Dragon. As fanged creatures lurk in the shadows waiting to strike, guests will navigate the treacherous catacombs of the Vampire King’s lair. Through relentless violence and insatiable hunger, he has earned the name, “The Dragon,” and those who dare enter will attempt to survive his wrath as he prowls the corridors. Order of the Dragon is located in the Action Zone section of the park.
New for this year, haunted mazes will only be accessible to guests with the purchase of a Haunted Attractions Pass. The introduction of this event pass reflects a new chapter of scares at Halloween Haunt, driven by haunted maze enhancements and the introduction of new scares designed to improve the guest experience during this event. Those seeking the heart-pounding terror of the park’s haunted mazes can enhance their visit with the purchase of a Haunted Attractions Pass, while those seeking night rides, scare zones and live entertainment only require park admission. The Conjuring: Beyond Fear is not included with the Haunted Attractions Pass and is an extra-charge experience.
Tricks and Treats Family Fun
A daytime visit to Kings Island is filled with fall family activities during Tricks and Treats. Kids can enjoy the Trick-or-Treat Trail, create their own masks, enter the kids’ costume contest and more. Daily activities include live shows created just for the little monsters, plus the amazing lineup of award-winning rides within Kings Island’s kids’ areas.
One Last Boo Blast
It’s the end of an era as the Boo Blasters on Boo Hill family dark ride will close to make way for future development. Since 2010, the young and young-at-heart have created cherished memories working together to blast whimsical ghosts, ghouls and goblins back to the underworld on this classic indoor attraction. Guests will have until Monday, Sept. 1 to take their final rides on Boo Blasters on Boo Hill before its curtain is closed for good.
