Navigate through 11 twisting paths filled with the tantalizing scent of sweet candy, as whispers haunt and pursue you. Confront Principal Wilkins, evade the vengeful spirits of the School Bus Massacre, and endure the werewolf’s attack under a full moon. Shadows dart past, while whispers lead you to the guardian of All Hallows’ Eve—Sam.
“I love Halloween. The idea of doing a maze with [Six Flags] was something I couldn’t pass up that opportunity. There are several graphic novels and comic books that expand the lore of this film with a lot of cool environments. I told them just grab characters and scenarios and environments from those other stories, and they did, and they’re turning out wonderfully,” said Trick ‘r Treat Writer/Director Michael Dougherty.
In addition, visitors to the Great Adventure and Magic Mountain parks can be transported into the eerie realms of Netflix’s Stranger Things and Army of The Dead well as Lionsgate’s SAW and Warner Bros. Discovery’s The Conjuring Universe. Guests at Great Adventure will also be treated to a new experience centering around Legendary’s and Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre while visitors to Six Flags Mexico can step into the world of DC Comics’ DCeased.
Trick ’r Treat will be open at Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Over Texas starting early September and running through November 3, 2024.
