A haunted walk in the dark woods provides spooky attractions for horror fans. Gruesome creatures creep from dark crevices. Leering, shrieking clowns emerge from unseen hiding spots. Even the rustle of the wind through the dry leaves induces terror.
This Halloween, those brave enough to chance a walk through Terror Woods at Great Bridge Pumpkin Patch can immerse themselves in a truly fearful experience. The lengthy, wooded trail features actors and eerie animated props that send guests scuttling. And, if guests still have their wits about them, one look at the dilapidated cabin along the trail, with its inhabitants staggering out and inching closer and closer to the path's edge, will surely send them reeling.
