Boone Hall Fright Nights

Boone Hall Plantation is a master at hosting festivals and special events, and they shine at Halloween.  For the 17th year, they’re hosting their popular Fright Nights, on seventeen weekend evenings in late September and October. 

Fright Nights live up to their name, and they’re not recommended for kids under the age of 12 or folks who don’t like to be scared.  (For the younger set, be sure to check out Boone Hall’s popular daytime Pumpkin Patch, complete with corn maze and non-scary hayride.)

Fright Nights organizers had three new main attractions in 2023 to give you serious chills:   

• Carnage (“The doctor is in, but this is not your normal hospital.  Warning to those who enter: you're in for more than a check-up!”);
• Freaks Unleashed ("The freaks come out at night.  The lights are off and the cages unlatched, as creatures from your worst nightmares roam this desolate circus backlot");
• The Last Ride ("All aboard!  Hold your loved ones tight as you encounter toxic wastelands, deadly mine shafts and tortured spirits in this action-packed finale").

Advance ticket purchasing is highly recommended, as they often sell out.  PLEASE NOTE: tickets will now ONLY be sold online via their website. You can purchase a ScreamPass for $38 for one person to see all three attractions.  They also offer VIP “Faster to the Fear” tickets for $65 each.  

Fear not, there will be plenty of food available for purchase  -  fair fare like cotton candy, funnel cakes, kettle korn, hot dogs, loaded French fries and such.  You can also visit the onsite Dark Arts Studio for spooky body art and face painting.

To access Fright Nights from the IOP, head north up Highway 17 North in Mount Pleasant, and head about a half mile past Long Point Road and the usual entrance to Boone Hall.  

NOTE: Dates and details for 2024 haven't been announced yet.  Stay tuned.
