CLEVELAND — October is the month of frights, from haunted houses to mazes to scary movies, and the Haunted Drive provides all that and more.
The well- loved Haunted Drive is open again, from now until Sunday, Nov. 2.
The spooky attraction offers a haunted maze, a Michael Myers challenge, an escape room, and, of course, the drive- thru haunt or haunted hayride.
The drive/ hayride consists of 1.5 miles of terror, with themed sections and both live actors and animatronics.
The haunted maze is about 10,000 square feet of twists and turns full of scares.
For those who scare a little easier and prefer not to participate, movies play by the concessions, with plenty of seating to watch while snacking on the concessions’ popcorn, pumpkin pie, or tamales.
Movies range from “ Sleepy Hollow” to “ Ghostbusters” to “ Hocus Pocus.”
There are also plenty of spooky- themed photo opportunities, as well as a pumpkin patch space for those who love the fall season.
Originally organized by a group of veterans, the attraction has grown over the past several years and attracts folks from all around.
The attraction is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 7: 30 to 11: 30 p. m. and on Sunday, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 from 7 to 10 p. m. The Haunted Drive is at The Retreat at Artesian Lakes, 235 Chain- O- Lakes Resort, Cleveland.
