Six Flags Magic Mountain is already known as the undisputed Thrill Capital of the World, but now they’re going EXTREME for Halloween season. The park is throwing their 31st annual Halloween event, Fright Frest Extreme. There’s 32 nights of fright on select Thursdays through Sundays from September 7th to November 3rd. The event establishes Six Flags Magic Mountain as California’s largest haunt featuring 11 haunted houses and nine scare zones.

Fright Fest Extreme brings the fright to every corner of the park with no wasted space for fear in the 260-acre theme park. There are six new haunted houses coming this year in Stranger Things, Trick ‘r Treat, Army of the Dead, The Conjuring Universe, and The Saw Franchise.

Here’s what Jeff Harris, Six Flags Magic Mountain President had to say about the event.

“This year marks a significant milestone for Six Flags Magic Mountain as we go extreme and embark upon our largest investment and expansion of Fright Fest to date. By expanding our highly anticipated event with some of the largest horror brands in the world, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, Netflix and Legendary Entertainment, we’re raising the bar and pushing the boundaries of fear to create an unforgettable, immersive, and all-out terrifying experience like never before. It’s an honor to say that Fright Fest Extreme is the largest haunt in California, delivering an unmatched lineup of spine-tingling attractions and experiences,”
