This year Six Flags Great Adventure theme park will be celebrating 30 years of Fright Fest.

The notorious event returns with 30 nights of a thrilling experience from eight heart-racing haunted houses, six terrifying scare zones and four ghoulishly entertaining shows.

“We are ready to bring nightmares to life with the most horror-ific Fright Fest in our 30-year history,” said Six Flags Great Adventure Park President Brian Bacica.

There will be two new haunted houses, The Conjuring and SAW X debuting on Sept. 15.

Fright Fest season kicks off on selected days Sept. 15 and Oct. 31, but guests can preview the event on Sept. 8 and 9 with a purchase of a Fright Fest preview ticket.

Attractions include trick-or-treating in Cornstalk National Park, the Hunt for Boo, fun-filled wagon rides, and a live show called Witch’s Brew.
