Field of Screams – Olney, Maryland Halloween Event

By , About.com Guide

The Field of Screams is a Halloween event in Olney, Maryland with four great haunts in one location: a 30-minute walk through a Haunted Trail, a two-story Haunted House, a 10-acre Corn Maze and a Haunted Hayride. Several new scary attractions have been added this year including the Slaughter House, Funhouse, Voodoo Hut and the Infested House of Roaches and Snakes.

The Halloween event is a carnival atmosphere with bonfires and music to appeal to all ages. Visitors can enjoy unique snacks such as deep fried Twinkies and Oreos with chocolate sauce and roast-your-own-s’mores over an open fire. The younger crowd will enjoy the corn maze, hayride, face painting and pumpkin patch.

Visiting Tip:
  • Field of Screams is becoming a very popular event and tends to be extremely busy on Halloween weekend. To beat the crowds, visit early in October, or on Thursday and Sunday nights.
