A Journey Through Worlds We've Spent Decades Building
The 1925 Farmhouse
The same house. Still standing. Still, where it begins. This is where every night at Spookywoods has started since 1985. Step inside, and the year stops mattering.
300 Feet of Laser, Fog, and Chainsaws
Just outside the farmhouse, 300 feet of laser tunnel cuts through the fog. The chainsaw alley is narrow. The zombies don't hide. They step forward into the light. The chainsaws are real.
Vacancy Hotel & The Manor House
Check in if you dare. The rooms are occupied. The Manor House doesn't want you to leave. Then the first wagon arrives.
New Nightmares built so big they come with their own street address.
We spent all summer building it. We're not telling you what it is. You'll find out when the wagon stops. Something different about 2026.
Where the Legends Live
Paved paths through the woods. Sets built over water as large as ten thousand square feet each, paying tribute to the films that defined fear — Crystal Lake, the Sawyer house, Woodsboro. Twenty minutes to walk. Nothing exists anywhere else.
Where Kersey Valley Began
The original pine forest planted in 1979, which gave rise to the name Spookywoods. Dark mazes, town halls, mineshafts, apocalyptic disasters, botanical nightmares, and more. The place where it all took root.
Why Thousands Come Back Every Year
Guests don't compare this to other haunted houses. They compare it to everything else they've ever done.
★★★★★
"What a night. The fam and I visited Kersey Valley for the second year straight. This place never ceases to amaze me — the themes, scenery, characters, scares and screams. We had a ball."
Tre Tre · Nov 2025
★★★★★
"From the first scream to the last shadowy corridor, this place is a horror lover's dream. No endless lines, no breaking the illusion — just pure, pulse-racing fun from start to finish."
Nicole H. · Nov 2025
★★★★★
"World-class filmic sets, great scares, and plenty of fun. Immersive and interactive with seamless transitions and a nightmarish climax. They get better and better each year."

Live DJ
Music, lighting, fog, and visuals overhead before you ever enter the haunt.
Roaming Monsters
One second you're laughing with friends. The next, you're not.
Food + Drinks
Bars, coffee, sweets, hot nuts, funnel cakes, and more while you wait like a human being instead of a number in line.

Top 10 Best Haunted Attractions in America
Ranked among the best haunted attractions in the country — one of only ten selected nationwide.
National Television Feature
Featured nationally as one of America's premier haunted destinations — long before most competitors existed.
Crypt Keeper Award
Presented to Tony and Donna Wohlgemuth in recognition of four decades of leadership, innovation, and dedication to the haunt industry across the Carolinas.
One of America's Most Prominent Haunted Destinations
Named one of America's most prominent haunted destinations by one of the industry's leading publications.
Featured Story: "Another Kersey Valley Sunday"

From Farm to Famous Haunt
A video feature covering the full story of Spookywoods and Kersey Valley — from a teenage dream in 1985 to one of the most recognized haunted destinations in America.
Guests have traveled from across the country to experience Spookywoods. The awards just confirm what they already know — there is nothing else like this in North Carolina.
Built on a Different Scale
This place almost didn't exist.
In 1985, Tony opened a haunted house in a five-room farmhouse to help save his family's farm.
Admission was $2. No one knew what it would turn into.
Today, Kersey Valley operates year-round.
Zipline tours. Escape games. Outdoor laser tag. Axe throwing. Corporate events. School field trips. Private parties. And every October, it becomes Spookywoods.
Worlds built through pine forests, over water, and across 92 acres of working farmland. Built by people. Brought to life by people. Feared because of people.
