The programme blends fresh horror experiences with returning family shows under an expanded TH13TEEN storyline.

Overview

  • Scarefest 2025 runs for six weeks from September 27, with booking open for Sept 27–28, Oct 3–5, Oct 10–12 and Oct 17–Nov 2.
  • The Edge of the Forest debuts as a live-action maze in the Dark Forest, featuring tree-like creatures and the Leshwall spirit.
  • Dark Hollow launches as an outdoor scare zone tied to the TH13TEEN narrative, spotlighting sightings of the forest-born Twisted.
  • Returning attractions include Altonville Mine Tours/COMPOUND, Trick O' Treat Town with Haribo and Maoam, and Amigos in the Afterlife.
