Haunted Halloween Fest at Hunt Club Farm – Virginia Beach, VA

Here’s a fun question for the group: why are farmers so scary?

While you get back to me on that, consider the ghoulish grotesqueries of the Haunted Halloween Fest at Hunt Club Farm in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Like many farms all throughout the country, Hunt Club boosts the fall take with a full month of haunted fun. As always, the land provides its own unsettling scenery, jacked up to 11 by a few gruesome additions.

Haunted Halloween Fest doesn’t boast itself the scariest act in the nation. There’s no minimum age limit, and a strange pricing policy would actually seem to encourage younger guests. What you will get is a serious quantity of fairly spooked out scenes. For one general admission ticket, you’ll enjoy three attractions.

You really can’t beat the classics, which is why you shouldn’t miss the Haunted Hayride. A farm staple, the Hunt Club rendition uses the creepy backdrop of nearby woods to host a steady stream of unpleasantness. Whether it’s monsters assaulting the cart or grizzly torture scenes, you won’t have time to get comfortable.

A duo of walking attractions comes next: the Village of the Dead and the Field of Screams. The Village gets a little gory at times, but we love its sense of place. Too many haunted houses shuffle from one random scare room to the next. Benefiting no doubt from the outdoor space, the Village of the Dead has a lot going on, but it still manages to evoke its theme. This is one village you’d never want to visit.

Not that you’d want to visit a corn field anyway, but I assure you the Field of Screams is no place to start. The maze-like twists and turns of the Field hide scares aplenty.

This year, Hunt Club Farm introduces Krendl’s Karnival of the Macabre, a horror-tinged freak show promising fright, danger and a few things you’ve never seen before. Sounds interesting, but we haven’t it seen it ourselves. (This is a premium attraction. Costs a little more).

And one more thing: you’ve got to check out their history book. I’m sure we’ve all seen mock-book before, but I don’t think I’ve even encountered one that worked this well. This thing is just cool!

Haunted Halloween Fest at Hunt Club Farm starts today runs through October 31, closed some Mondays and Tuesdays. General admission costs $30 and can sell-out. Advance purchase is recommended. Learn more about it here.

We’re going a little out of Virginia Beach to one of our favorites, Hampton, Virginia. For hotels near Virginia Beach, we like the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina Hotel. It’s a little bit of a trip out to the farm, but we love the location in Hampton and think you’ll find plenty more to do around town.
