Even more screams and thrills are coming to Six Flags Magic Mountain this Halloween season, as the theme park brings a host of new haunts inspired by blockbuster horror franchises.

Beginning September 7, thrill-seekers and horror enthusiasts are invited to immerse themselves in the pulse-pounding excitement and terror that only Six Flags can deliver as Fright Fest returns with a vengeance and goes extreme.

Presented by Snickers, Six Flags Magic Mountain visitors will step into a world where nightmarish creatures inspired by legendary horror brands come to life with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ SAW franchise, Netflix’s Stranger Things and Army of the Dead, Warner Bros. Discovery’s The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun, and Legendary Entertainment’s Trick ‘r Treat.

“For over 30 years, Fright Fest has been haunting the thrills-and-chills season like no other, and this year we are turning things upside down with a huge array of amazing horror franchises,” said Edithann Ramey, “Chief Fright Officer” of Six Flags. “We take pride in offering the best experiences and are committed to innovating our parks each and every year to provide the most frightful memories for our guests. Our themed-haunted experiences, scare zones and harrowing creatures lurking around every corner are sure to deliver extreme frights and unexpected surprises.”

Details of this year’s new attractions include:

• The SAW Franchise – Celebrate the 20th anniversary of SAW with an all-new experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging guests into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Guests will endure torturous trials and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.

• The Conjuring Universe – Strap in for a tour of the Warrens’ most hair-raising and gruesome cases including those that inspired The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. In each realm, encounters with cursed artifacts make you the target of the conjuring.

• Stranger Things – Guests will be able to step into the popular Netflix series through this new immersive maze…stay tuned for more details.

• Army of the Dead – The City of Las Vegas is under lockdown following a recent viral outbreak and survivors must look for an escape while battling the undead.

• Trick ‘r Treat – Enter a dark and twisted candy trail nightmare on a jack-o-lantern-lit path of supernatural encounters that tap into your deepest fears. With Sam, the infamous Spirit of Halloween, as your guide, learn the rules of the spooky holiday before entering a world where tricks dominate treats. 

A mix of mazes will also be available at additional Six Flags parks, with guests at Six Flags Great Adventure also treated to a new experience from Netflix & Legendary Entertainment’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) while visitors to Six Flags Mexico will have access to a special exclusive maze based on DCeased, the bestselling comic series from DC Comics.

This year’s Fright Fest comes at an exciting time as the company has recently added dozens of new rides, attractions, and guest experiences at several parks across the nation, including the new DC Heroes and Villains Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain, featuring live action shows and exclusive DC character meet-and-greets running weekends through August 4.

For a limited time, tickets are now available at the lowest price of the season during the “Fright Fest Extreme” Flash Sale.

Fright Fest Extreme admission options at Six Flags Magic Mountain include:

• Single-Day Admission – A separate admission event ticket will be required for Fright Fest Extreme admission, which includes access to all haunted attractions, rides and entertainment. Guests can purchase an express upgrade for priority entry to all haunted houses.
• Pass Holder Admission – Fright Fest Extreme park admission will be included for all 2024 Gold, Platinum and Diamond Season Pass Holders, Six Plus Members and Legacy Members with a valid Pass. An additional fee for entry to haunted houses will still be required.

At Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles, Fright Fest Extreme will operate on select Thursdays through Sundays from September 7 to November 3. It will be the park’s largest and longest Fright Fest ever, with 32 nights of fright.

The expansion and investment of added horror franchises will establish Six Flags Magic Mountain as the leader in California, with a record-breaking 20 haunted houses and scare zones.

The park will be open for daytime operations on select calendar days from 10:30 am – 5:00 pm for Kids Boo Fest and Oktoberfest, with Fright Fest Extreme running from 7:00 pm – 12:00 am on Thursdays and Sundays, and 7:00 pm – 1:00 am on Fridays and Saturdays.
