It’s a Halloween staple, the haunted corn maze. Filled with jump scares, zombie scarecrows, and farm-themed ghosts, haunted cornfields present people with the chance to live out their own mini horror movies. Ever wanted to be a final girl? Walk into the corn and reach the end of it alive. Always hoped to be chased by an angry phantom with a rusty machete grafted to its mangled hand? Again, corn maze.
One of the most popular experiences of its kind is Terror in the Corn at Anderson Farms. It’s a mile-long horror attraction that puts attendees face to face with their deepest fears. There’s a bit of lore throughout if you pay attention to the types of terrors that cross your path and the locations you end up running around in. Now, Bit Bot Media and Metal X Entertainment are turning the experience into both a video game and an original comic book.
