Creamy Acres Farm in Mullica Hill is the region's undisputed heavy hitter. By day, it is a functioning dairy farm, but in October, it transforms into Night of Terror, offering everything from a zombie paintball hunt to an intense haunted hayride. If you prefer paranormal history over theatrical scares, the Burlington County Prison Museum in Mount Holly leans into its reputation as a genuinely haunted 19th-century dungeon, offering spine-chilling historical tours through real maximum-security cell blocks.
Because the tri-state area is so compact, it is easy to cross the bridge and tackle multiple states in a single weekend. You can expand your itinerary from South Jersey's scariest haunts directly into the city by exploring the most terrifying haunted houses in Philadelphia, giving you a perfect mix of rural hayrides and urban scream parks.
