Scare Farm

Scare Farm at Norz Hill Farm in Hillsborough, New Jersey, is a premier Halloween scream park, celebrated as one of the state’s top haunted attractions and voted among the best by outlets like NewJerseyHauntedHouses.com for its chilling blend of immersive horror and rustic farm ambiance. Set on a sprawling family-owned farm in operation since 1920, this haunt features four interconnected horror attractions—Madderbaby Lane, Atrum Manor, The Slayride, and Chaotica—delivering a continuous, approximately 45-minute experience that immerses guests in a cursed land steeped in madness and terror. The Slayride, a signature haunted hayride, transports guests on a tractor-drawn wagon through eerie fields, where a cursed landscape unfolds with scenes of abandoned barns, foggy graveyards, and sinister scarecrows, brought to life by over 50 actors portraying deranged figures and ghoulish creatures who deliver intense jump scares, enhanced by pyrotechnics, fog, and haunting soundscapes. Madderbaby Lane, a terrifying walk-through, plunges visitors into a twisted corn trail where the legacy of the Atrum family’s evil persists, with actors lurking in dark corners and detailed props like blood-soaked effigies amplifying the horror. Atrum Manor immerses guests in a gothic mansion filled with creepy rooms, such as a decrepit parlor and a haunted attic, where actors deliver in-your-face scares amidst strobe lights and unsettling props. Chaotica concludes the journey with a chaotic maze of disorienting paths and gruesome scenes, where actors portraying psychotic entities exploit the low-visibility environment for maximum fear. Over 100 actors, supported by high-quality animatronics and atmospheric effects, create a relentless scare experience. The farm’s natural setting, with its eerie cornfields and rustic structures, enhances the atmosphere, while a festive midway offers concessions and roaming actors. Due to uneven terrain and intense scares, it’s not recommended for children under 13 or those with mobility issues. With its rich storytelling, cinematic production, and haunting farm backdrop, Scare Farm offers an unforgettable Halloween adventure for thrill-seekers.
