Deets: As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, Schmitts Farm Haunt is back and scarier than ever for the 2024 Halloween season! Celebrating 30 years of spine-chilling thrills, Schmitts Farm Haunt has become a must-visit destination for Halloween enthusiasts across Long Island. This year, guests will be treated to fresh, fear-inducing attractions alongside fan-favorite frights, ensuring that no two visits are ever the same.

What’s New for 2024?

This year’s haunt introduces a sinister Camp Overrun by Insects, where every twist and turn may bring you face-to-face with something much worse than creepy crawlies. Venture deeper into the darkness and you’ll encounter The Church, but don’t expect a place of solace—it’s not the type of church you’d want to attend on a Sunday. And if you make it through, you’ll find yourself at the Cannibal House, where the welcoming residents might just have YOU as the main course.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Schmitts Farm without their beloved clowns! Returning by popular demand, the clowns are ready to terrify all who dare enter. These new attractions are just a glimpse into the many hair-raising experiences awaiting visitors in 2024.

Exclusive Haunted Corn Trail
Schmitts Farm Haunt is proud to be the only haunt on Long Island offering a Haunted Corn Trail. This unique outdoor attraction leads guests from a 3D Experience straight into a pitch-black corn maze, lit only by the moon. The rustling you hear in the dark? It may be more than just the wind through the corn stalks.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets for Schmitts Farm Haunt’s 2024 season are available now!

Schmitts Farm Haunt Presents: The Daytime features a lights-on walk through of the haunt and haunted corn trail with no actors. This is perfect for anyone who isn’t looking for big scares but still wants to experience the attraction. (This is the same attraction as the night, just with no actors and the lights are on. We leave it up to parents to determine if their kids can handle that experience. We do not offer refunds for being too scared.)

The Haunted House Nights feature the haunt and the haunted corn trail in full effect with animatronics and a full acting staff. Both attractions are designed to scare even the most seasoned haunt fan. We do not recommended our attractions for children under 8 years old. Children 8 – 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
