*Scary*

Powder Ridge Mountain Park & Resort will be overrun by monsters, demons, and zombies this fall as it welcomes back Haunting at the Ridge for a third consecutive year. This year’s event, run in partnership with Phantom Productions, offers an expanded thrill and haunt program designed to captivate and entertain fans of all things spooky.

Billed as the “Most Unique Haunt in New England,” Haunting at the Ridge turns the typically serene mountain park and resort into a sprawling nightmare, with haunting forces lurking along the trails and chair lifts. 

Starting with a spine-chilling chair lift ride in the dark through the Valley of the Giants, guests will then descend on foot, facing the terrors that haunt the mountain at night. Among the expanded features include a haunted pumpkin patch, a witches' coven, and a campground to welcome visitors. Also new this year is a reward to those who make it down the mountain — the Zombie Lounge. The Zombie Lounge offers a relaxing setting with music, entertainment, fire pits, and refreshments.

Haunting at the Ridge also features family-friendly sessions and Zombie Hunt Glow in the Dark Paintball. A number of packages are available, including general admission, family packs, group packages, and a VIP experience. Guests also have the option to purchase tickets solely for the Zombie Lounge.

Haunting at the Ridge takes place every weekend, Friday through Sunday from Sept. 27 to Oct. 27. Family-friendly sessions are available at 5:30 p.m. Regular haunts take place by timed admission every half-hour between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
