Is Festival Fright Nights the Same Each Year?

Festival Fright Nights features a new theme, story, and set of haunted mazes each season — returning guests will always encounter fresh scares.

Every year brings a completely new production. The 2026 season is set in 1926 and includes reimagined and brand-new mazes — such as the returning The Root of All Evil, the reimagined The Final Descent, and the all-new House of Spirits — plus a refreshed slate of add-on experiences across the Winchester Mystery House estate.

Because the theme and lineup change each season, Festival Fright Nights is worth visiting even if you attended in a prior year. Keep an eye on festivalfrightnights.com for announcements about the current season's theme, lineup, and ticket on-sale dates.
