Theme Park Adventure's coverage of the 2006 Halloween Haunt is intended for mature audiences.  Parents, please be advised.  This warning is due to graphic violence, suggestive themes and intense imagery.

Just when you thought it was safe to walk through Knott's Berry Farm... think again.  There is evil at hand - and this time, Theme Park Adventure is coming to you live (or dead, as the case may be) from fabulous Las Vegas, baby!  Thus, the inspiration of the name of our coverage this year - not only is TPA now Vegas-based, Sin City is also a favorite off-season haunting ground of many Scary Farm monsters and low and behold... we finally have a Vegas-themed maze at Halloween Haunt!

It's exciting and fantastic - this year, TPA is going to cover the Haunt with more in-depth reviews and features than ever before.  It will be a Haunt fan's nightmare-come-true!

In the coming weeks and months, you will find that this page is added to and expanded as new features are announced and become available to our readers.  This is Haunt Central for the 2006 season as Theme Park Adventure once again establishes itself as the greatest source of Halloween Haunt information and media anywhere.  Invite your friends, turn down the lights and take a deep breath.

It's that time again.

When visiting Halloween Haunt, there is only one place to stay while in Buena Park - the Knott's Berry Farm Resort Hotel!  Just moments away from the Scary Farm, why would fans go anywhere else?

Theme Park Adventure and Knott's Berry Farm for the first time are working together to bring our readers exclusive behind-the-screams images of the Build process that is the precursor to Halloween Haunt.  TPA proudly gives its readers their first glimpses of what they can expect in 2006!  Be warned - this section contains spoilers.

Fans of the gothic undead will rejoice in knowing that once again, the Children of the Night dwell within Camp Snoopy!  Venture into the graveyard that is the dominion of the dead... a world where it's good to suck.

Welcome to the Class of 2006!  Students should proceed with extreme caution down the halls of this rock and roll high school - one wrong move, and school's out forever...

Everything sinister lives within the halls of the Mangler Asylum.  Here, the air hangs thick with death and rage - rage against any souls that dare to enter their home.  Just remember... if you stay and play, you may never leave.

RED BEARD'S REVENGE (Main Gate/Camp Snoopy)

If ye come seekin' adventure and salty old pirates... this be the proper place!  Wenches and scoundrels are on the prowl and are lookin' for blood and booty.  Just make sure you get your booty through this maze safely, or spend eternity with this doomed crew.

TERRORVISION IN 3-D (Dry Lake Bed Under Jaguar)

Turn on the old boob tube and lose yourself in a world of horror and comedy that is broadcast each night from Knott's Scary Farm!  Can you spot your favorite TV character while you're trying to stay alive?  Or how about naming that familiar theme song?  Whatever you do, don't touch that dial... until you're sure that the show's completely over.

FEARY TALES IN 3-D (GhostRider)

Whoever said it was fun to revisit your childhood through storytelling certainly never experienced these twisted tales of terror.  You'll be begging for the fairy tale to be over shortly after it begins... and God help you if you cross paths with the dreaded Fearies!

13 AXE MURDER MANOR (Mystery Lodge)

There's nowhere to run when you investigate the mysterious house that looms in the darkness.  Supernatural forces abound, monsters lurk in every corner and death waits patiently for visitors.  Abandon all hope, ye who enter here...

CAVERN OF LOST SOULS (Calico Mine Ride)

There's gold in them thar hills!  And ghoulish spirits, too!  Come take a ride to the darker side of Calico, into the dreaded mine shafts and into the netherworld far below.  Sit close together and watch out for creepy crawlies, deranged monsters and entities looking to add more permanent residents to Ghost Town this year.

THE GRUDGE 2 (Fiesta Plaza)

Columbia Pictures, Ghost House Pictures and Knott's Berry Farm have teamed up to create a unique maze experience for Halloween Haunt this year, to promote the release of The Grudge 2.  What is expected to be a one-year deal, this maze is arguably the most complicated and elaborate walk-through that the company has ever created. 

DARK REALM WITH LAZER RAGE (Stage Coach Trail)

In a first-ever theme for the Scary Farm, guests and monsters will for the first time, battle each other with lazer guns, adding a new dimension of excitement to a walk-through environment.  Who knows how this one will turn out?  With the fog and darkness on their side, we vote that the monsters will prevail...

LOST VEGAS IN 3-D (Bumper Cars)

Never before has Sin City been closer to Orange County!  Now you don't even need to visit an Indian casino to get killed!  Just come on out to Haunt and let the good times roll!  Try your luck at a slot, spin the roulette will perhaps.  Guaranteed to be zany and scary, we give the house 2 to 1 odds that the best craps will be in your pants!

HAUNT 2006 MONSTER SCARE ZONES:

GHOST TOWN (Old West Ghost Town®)

This is as classic as it gets at the Scary Farm!  Fog billows through Ghost Town as some of the most infamous monsters in the world lurk in the shadows.  Come face-to-face with the Green Witch, or perhaps be chased by The Bride.  Lucifer the werewolf stalks his prey relentlessly as the Green Goblin slides through terrified crowds!  Don't forget your Berry Punch and Funnel Cake while you explore the horrors of Ghost Town! 

SILVER BULLET MINE TOWN (Silver Bullet Coaster Area)

Gas up those chainsaws and let 'er rip!  Once again, the biggest screams won't be coming from the roller coaster - they'll be coming from terrified guests as they run to escape the monsters and creatures that roam this old mine town.  No one's safe and there is nowhere to hide... the boys and ghouls will be expecting you.

THE GAUNTLET (Camp Snoopy)

Home to some of the greatest monster talent the Scary Farm has ever had, you'll not want to miss this fan favorite - filled with Medieval monstrosities and nightmarish jesters.  Listen for the drum line or witness the spectacle of a sliding competition - anything goes in this sinister realm.  With 2006 possibly being the final season for The Gauntlet, you can bet that the inhabitants of CS are more than ready to take it over-the-top this year!  Fire it up!

CARNEVIL (The Boardwalk)

This year, CarnEVIL promises to be better than ever, with more monsters, a new thematic twist and more shocking surprises than ever before!  Step right up, and hurry, hurry, hurry to see all of the freaks!  And those are just your fellow Haunt guests!  You'll have to find the real monsters in the crowd - unless they find you first!

HAUNT 2006 SINISTER SHOWS:

THE HANGING (Calico Square)

Fans gather by the thousands each night in Ghost Town's Calico Square to answer the age-old cry, "ARE YOU READY FOR A HANGING?"  Who will be lampooned this season?  What will be mocked without mercy?  Nothing is sacred in this tongue-in-cheek stage spectacular as the blood and insults fly!

PUTZ PRANK PARTY (Wagon Camp)

Two words, folks - CHUBBY BUNNY.  Fan fave Marty Putz is returning to Haunt with new gags, new props and a Chubby Bunny finale that is sure to please each audience (and maybe get the first two rows splattered with chewed-up marshmallow).  This is another show not to miss! 

HACKS, SIDE-SPLITTING IMPROV (Bird Cage Theatre)

Those naughty, naughty boys are back - and fans are sure to flock to the Bird Cage to see the antics once again as one of the funniest shows in Halloween Haunt history makes its second appearance.  With improv being the name of the game, anything goes in this adult-oriented show, with the last performance of the night being extra saucy!  Do NOT miss this, kids!
