Don't wait — grab your tickets now. This one sells out every single night.
One of the scariest haunted trails in the DMV returns this fall — HAUNT: Dark Encounters, October 3–30, 2026 at the Workhouse Arts Center.
Now in its 13th year, this isn't your typical haunted house — it's a trail. And this year, the Workhouse is ditching theatrical gimmicks for raw, unrelenting tension. You'll be guided through dense woodland to uncover the mystery of five friends who vanished in 1996. Immersive. Unsettling. Built to make every shadow feel personal.
Why it's worth it:
· Exclusive Access — Experience the trail before the public opening
· Great Visuals — Dense woods, professional scare actors, detailed sets
· The Story — A found camcorder, a 1996 mystery, a descent into the unknown
· Post-Scare — The Rizer Pavilion opens with a DJ, themed cocktails, and bites
Tickets are $39. Want to skip the line and get front-of-the-trail access? Add-on fees available. And don't forget to check our website for discounts — $5 off, $10 off, and more.
Recommended for ages 13+. Run dates: October 3–30 (Fridays, Saturdays, and select Sundays).
Plus: Sensory Friendly Night, Saturday, October 17, 6–7 PM. Email workhousehaunt@workhousearts.org to reserve your spot.
