Hiding in the woods at the end of a lonesome road is a world of fright and fantasy that will test one's mettle, temper one's cavalier courage, torment one's sanity, and taint one's soul. This vortex of dark entertainment is the Trail of Terror.
The Trail resides on four appalling acres of forsaken forest. The haunt scenes take up fully half of that area. After entering the front gate, guests walk along the outdoor trail through 30 different scenes. Unsuspecting patrons must venture through crawl spaces, squeeze walls, across a rope bridge, aboard a boat, under a spinning carousel, and through a vortex tunnel on their march of mayhem. Over the summer, the staff changes approximately 75% of the Trail’s scenes so customers are confronted with novel new frights each season.
From the rot of the "Harvest", emerged the “Coven of the Rotted.” An insidious group consisted of those who had been irrevocably touched by the Harvester’s curse, their bodies and minds decayed by the power of the cursed embalming fluid. The Coven, shrouded in secrecy and darkness, dedicated themselves to harnessing the dreaded influence of the Harvester, seeking to control and amplify its nightmarish powers. As they delved deeper into forbidden rituals and dark magics, their twisted forms became a haunting testament to the horrors that befell those who dared to tamper with the sinister legacy of the Aduro family. United by their shared affliction and a thirst for darkness, the Coven of the Rotted vowed to spread their corruption, unleashing waves of terror upon Central Valley and beyond...
The Trail of Terror has bent the minds of the innocent and benefited local charities for 30 years. The dominion of this operation’s overseer, Wayne Barneschi, began as a home haunt. Through enlisting the help of dark forces, a veritable coven of close friends and family members, they made the leap to become a professional non-profit haunted attraction. First with the Wallingford Red Cross and then later as it's own non-profit in the form of Scare Crew Productions, Inc. which has now donated over $2 Million — benefitting local charities, and individuals and community projects in need.
