Forbidden Hollows

Forbidden Hollows Haunted Farm in Bedford, Indiana, is a thrilling outdoor Halloween attraction renowned for delivering a chilling blend of immersive horror and rustic charm, set on a sprawling family farm. This haunt features three distinct experiences—a Haunted Trail, a Haunted House within a Corn Maze, and a Not-So-Scary Family-Friendly Hayride—designed to cater to both thrill-seekers and families, creating a diverse, scream-filled adventure. The Haunted Trail immerses guests in a half-mile journey through dark, wooded paths where over 40 actors portray ghouls, zombies, and eerie figures, delivering intense jump scares amidst detailed sets like foggy graveyards and abandoned shacks, enhanced by strobe lights and haunting soundscapes. The Haunted House in the Corn Maze, a standout feature, combines the disorienting twists of a cornfield with a terrifying indoor structure, where visitors navigate tight corridors filled with gruesome props, such as severed limbs and occult symbols, and actors who blend seamlessly into the environment for heart-pounding surprises. The Not-So-Scary Hayride offers a lighter, family-friendly experience, with a tractor-drawn wagon guiding guests through spooky yet fun scenes, featuring playful characters and minimal scares, suitable for all ages. Over 50 actors across the attractions, adorned with professional makeup and costumes, create a dynamic experience with sudden appearances and eerie interactions, supported by atmospheric effects like thick fog and dynamic lighting. The farm’s natural setting, with rustling corn stalks and shadowy trees, amplifies the eerie ambiance, complemented by props like jack-o’-lanterns and skeletal remains. A festive queue area offers concessions with snacks like popcorn and hot cider, enhancing the community-driven vibe, with proceeds supporting local charities like LIFE and WildCare Inc. Due to uneven terrain and intense scares on the trail and maze, the haunt is not recommended for children under 12 or those with mobility issues, though the hayride is accessible to most. With its blend of terrifying trails, creative haunted house design, and family-friendly options, Forbidden Hollows Haunted Farm offers an unforgettable Halloween adventure.
