🎃 Haunted Grounds Returns to McDonald Farm in Sale Creek – Four Nights of Halloween Fright, Oct 28-31

As October winds down and the veil between seasons grows thin, Sale Creek is gearing up for a seasonal tradition that draws families and thrill-seekers from across the Sequatchie Valley and beyond. Haunted Grounds is back at McDonald Farm, bringing four nights of immersive scares, seasonal treats, and family-friendly Halloween fun to the edge of the valley.

🗓️ When It Happens

Haunted Grounds opens Wednesday, October 28 through Saturday, October 31, 2026. 🕓 Wednesday and Thursday hours run 4-10 PM, while Friday and Saturday extend from noon to 10 PM – giving you plenty of daylight hours on the weekend if you want to ease into the spooky atmosphere before dusk.

📍 Where to Go

The event takes place at McDonald Farm, 16705 Coulterville Road, Sale Creek, Tennessee. The sprawling farm grounds become a Halloween playground, with multiple attractions spread across the property.

✨ What You’ll Experience

Haunted Grounds features four main attractions designed to test your nerve. 🏚️ Walk through the Haunted Horse Barn, navigate the Blackout Maze in complete darkness, and step into the Nosferatu Harvest Barn for a harvest-themed scare. Bounce houses add a lighter touch for younger visitors, and costumed characters roam the grounds after dusk to keep you on your toes. 👻 Special appearances by the Sanderson Sisters and Ursula add a pop-culture twist to the Halloween experience.

Beyond the scares, the farm hosts food trucks, a dessert truck, and a specialty coffee truck – perfect for warming up between attractions. 🍎 Warm apple cider and caramel apples capture the fall spirit, and vendors will be on-site throughout the event.

🎟️ Admission & Add-Ons

General admission is $20 for ages 9 and up, and $7 for children 8 and under. 💫 Optional add-ons include tarot readings (priced at the tent) and inflatable bracelets for $10. Note that some attractions are intense – parental discretion is advised for younger visitors.

❤️ Who Should Go

Haunted Grounds welcomes families, friend groups, and anyone looking for a seasonal Halloween adventure. The mix of scares, food, and entertainment makes it a solid outing for teens and adults, while the bounce houses and lower admission price for young children mean families with mixed ages can all participate. 🎉

Mark your calendar, grab a friend, and head to McDonald Farm this Halloween season. Four nights, multiple attractions, and plenty of seasonal treats await – don’t miss your chance to experience Haunted Grounds before the season closes on October 31.
