💀🌙 THE BACKWOODS ARE CALLING… ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO ANSWER? 🌙💀

Backwoods Terror Ranch is OPEN this Friday & Saturday from 7 PM–10 PM!

If you’ve been waiting to face the Backwoods, this is your weekend. And here’s a tip before you come:

🔥 THREE EXPERIENCES. ONE NIGHT.

🩸 SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The infamous Backwoods Terror Ranch haunt returns. You never know what’s waiting around the next corner.

🤠 NEW — DEAD WEST
An all-new 20–25 minute haunted experience where the nightmare rides into town. Step into a twisted version of the Old West where things have gone terribly wrong.

🛗 THE SCAREVATOR
Step inside if you dare. Some floors should have stayed locked…

📅 THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY
⏰ 7 PM–10 PM
📍 Sweet Valley Ranch | Fayetteville, NC

Don’t wait until you get to the gate. Buy online, save money and secure your tickets before you arrive.
