Haunted Trail


The weekend of the 17th my family and I went to Clayton Fear Farm to celebrate my dad’s birthday. My dad, brother, boyfriend, and I were all psyched and ready to go to this place because we had heard it advertised on the radio and the internet. The internet made it seem like it was the best haunted place to go in North Carolina.

The farm had seven attractions that people could do and we decided to do all seven. The attractions consisted of a hay ride, a trail in the dark, a 3d house, a corn maze, a haunted house, and some other attractions. After looking on the internet and reading the descriptions, I had set my expectations high. When we arrived at the farm, there were a lot of people there. We were waiting on my aunt to arrive with my cousins and we were all going to go on the hay ride together. My mom does not like scary stuff, so it took a lot of persuading to get her to go with us. The hayride ended up being cool, but not scary. There were several effects that were cool, but nothing really jumped out at me and made me scream. I was sort of disappointed. :(

We ended up going through the other attractions and it seemed as if the chainsaw theme was overrated. In every attraction there was someone chasing you with one and after a while, it got old. We ended the night going through the corn maze, which was not fun either because people had made their own paths, so you couldn’t tell if you were going the right way or a made up way.
I feel as if this farm had great ideas, but they really need to lower their prices, and make it scarier. They also need a lot of work. The volunteers were mostly kids, so it makes it harder to scare adults if you are half their size.

Next year I want to try somewhere different, but I want to make sure that it is going to be worth my time and money.
