CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Dozens of cast members are ready to go when Boone Hall āFright Nightsā open Saturday.
The nineteen nights of fear, from now through Halloween, include three haunted attractions.
Boone Hall āFright Nightsā Director Ryan Neal says he thinks this yearās event might be the scariest yet.
Neal says the three attractions include their tradition walk-thru, āMaximum Securityā, a new walk-thru set to dubstep music, āTinyās Toy Factoryā, and hay ride, āScary Tales: The Final Chapterā.
Boone Hallās team says they spent months planning these events and had to go the extra mile to make sure it followed safety protocols as well.
āWeāre not going to be quite as up close and personal and all of our characters will be wearing face coverings but good luck picking that out," Neal said. "Weāve done a really good job making sure that experience will be as intense as you would expect on any given year.ā
Boone Hall says their capacity will be limited because of safety protocols this year and youāre encouraged to buy tickets online in advance.
Additionally there will be a corn maze and pumpkin patch, Boone Hall says.
Boone Hall Marketing Director Rick Benthall says they will be making sure pumpkins are socially distanced in the pumpkin patch and families can still pick out the perfect pumpkin for their households.
The corn maze has been dedicated to past Boone Hall owner Willie McRae, a beloved member of the community Benthall says will be missed and remembered by all whoāve visited āFright Nightsā or Boone Hall.
Fright Nights will be open from 7:15 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 7:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursdays and Sundays.
