Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail is a scare park I was introduced to about 4 years ago. I had no expectations into the smaller parks because they always disappoint. Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail is a definite exception!!! The trails/houses are some of the longest you will ever see in any scare park. The scare actors take joy in what they are doing in trying to get that scare out of everyone. The set is well-designed. Most importantly, there is a well-written theme involved in every trail that always seem to tie into the overall theme of Sir Henry himself.

Most importantly, a book was released this year that actually gives a backdrop of Sir Henry and the magnificent cast of horrors that has been terrorizing guests during Halloween, Valentine;s Day, and even Christmas. That is right!!! What other scare park can boast giving us fear fans our scares throughout the year?

This year will be no different as Sir Henry’s got a face lift. The three trails will be there, but you will see a new look this year as Sir Henry’s spent the off-season redesigning. That means unexpected surprises for everyone. Here is a preview of what to expect as you brave the area where Sir Henry himself can be seen searching for his murdered bride.

HAUNTED TRAILS

CAPTAIN’S FURY — On the outskirts of Castlemoore lies a dark fishing town named Portsmouth. A young fishing captain is soon to be married to the love of his life, Abagail. But Captain Willem Jonah is soon sent back out to sea for work. When his ship falters in an unexpected nor’easter, the captain and his crew are believed to be lost at sea forever. In mourning and deep sorrow, Abagail seeks to end her suffering the only way she can think of: she jumps to her death from the lighthouse. Her ghost is said to be seen walking along the lighthouse balcony, looking for her long lost love. Many moons later an eerie fog rolls into Portsmouth. Soon, reports of mysterious murders and tragic deaths begin to swirl. Some claim that it is the ghost of the Abagail, but the old timers in the village know what the truth is. The captain has returned from the sea. Blurring the lines between living and dead Captain Jonah has come back for his love only to learn of her tragic death. In his anger and pain, he takes his wrath to the village who has caused him to lose everything. Bringing some of his crew from the sea back with him to carry out his revenge. Who is next to join him in the watery grave?

NIGHT MARROW — In a small town a cemetery worker notices graves are being dug up and left empty. After an investigation ensues, the constable discovers that the saw mill owner has been robbing graves and feasting on the bones of the deceased. To add to the horror, in the basement of his home, he’s building a whole throne from the stolen bones. A disgusted and angry mob captures the sawmill owner and decide to hang him. In his final words, he vows to return and avenge his death! As soon as the noose drops, a flock of ravens descends upon his body and feast on his flesh. Now every Hallows Eve, when the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest, he rises from the depth of darkness and returns to the town. With the help of his loyal ravens, he hunts the living to exact his revenge and finish his throne. The townsfolk have taken to calling him Sidious. Will you escape Sidious or will you become another bone on his throne?

BLOOD MASQUERADE — The Miklos are a wealthy, eclectic, aristocratic family descended from Romanian immigrants. But they carry with them a secret heritage, they believe that they are direct descendants of Vlad the Impaler. In honor of their daughter coming of age, and to feed their hunger, the Miklos are throwing a grand ball. Their pale appearance in contrast with their ruby red lips, along with their pointy teeth neatly filed, gives an allusion to their alleged distant vampire ancestor. Luring guests into their cellar, they trap them and use a variety of homemade devices to sypher blood from their victims. They bottle the excess blood in vintage wine bottles to overt suspicion. Tucked away in the deepest darkest part of this cellar is a beastly creature who feeds on the remains of their drained victims. A defective gene in the family line that only blood can activate, this creature is the core of the family. Will you thwart the allure or will you become a bottled memory ready to be consumed?

Not only are there the three haunted trails, but Sir Henry’s offers 2 other forms of entertainment. Breakout, a laser tag game is brought back for 2021 and sure to be a hit. Also, Pyrun’s Snare, an escape game is being offered. Think you can solve any mystery, then this is definitely a challenge made for you.
