What it is

A real farm that turns on you after dark

VerHulst Haunted Hayride runs on a working farm just outside Spencerport, not a warehouse dressed up for October. A wagon carries you out through the fields and past a walk-through attraction before dropping you at the haunted corn maze at the end, which is included with admission.

Eight to nine tractors run the route at once, leaving the barn every four to five minutes, so the line keeps moving even on a busy Friday.

What to expect, and who shouldn't ride

The characters

Who's waiting out there

Every one of them is a real person in the field, in costume, in the cold. They are the reason people come back.

  • A character with multiple prosthetic eyes across one cheek
  • Two costumed characters, one in a striped top hat
  • A scarecrow-like character holding a fiddle
  • Four costumed doll-like characters seated at a table
  • A costumed character holding a chainsaw
  • A burlap-faced character hanging on a fence
  • Three witches gathered around a cauldron
  • A costumed character in a bloody apron holding a frying pan
