OLNEY, Md., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Field of Screams Maryland, ranked the #1 Best Haunt in the Country by USA Today in 2022, is gearing up for yet another spooky season with new attractions—including Stitchy's Nightmare Factory; vignettes reflecting famous local ghost stories; and a new light canopy show set to a classic horror soundtrack.

Stitchy's Nightmare Factory: For one weekend only—October 10-13, 2024—Stitchy the Clown, a Field of Screams Maryland legend, takes over the popular Slaughter Factory Haunted House alongside his minions to wreak havoc and create a living nightmare for only the most daring guests.

The new Cryptid Shack: From the mythical Blue Dog of Port Tobacco to Chessie, Maryland's own sea monster rumored to prowl Chesapeake Bay, step into a haunting tour through local ghost stories that refuse to die.

A new light canopy show will illuminate the grounds of Field of Screams Maryland with a spooky spectacle of lights and music. Lights will be synchronized with a haunting soundtrack that features familiar horror classics, setting the scene for an unforgettable night.
