GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Searching for a good scare in the Triad this Halloween season? Woods of Terror, the state's ultimate haunted thrill ride, is back open, ready to make your worst nightmares come true.

This year's haunt features an elaborate maze filled with 12 specialty attractions. 

The 'Nope, Can't Make Me Do It' Award for anxiety inducing attraction: Arachnophobia

What has eight-legs, a hairy body, black beady eyes, and two sharp fangs? If you're already heading to the closet to grab the largest boot possible to crush that eight-legged monstrosity, we have some bad news. The maze's opening attraction features a dark cavern filled with massive spiders on almost every wall. Think you can get through without brushing up against one of these eight-legged freaks? Think again! Of all the maze's sections, this one had left me contemplating:

• "What if I pass out?"
• "Can I skip the spiders?"
• "Will this random guy mind if I hold on to his hoodie?"
• "Will my boss believe me if I call out sick?"
• "If this is only the first section, I'm going to cry by the end of this?"

This section also features plenty unsettling creatures for the Indiana Jones in your group who's terrified of snakes.

The Movie Lovers Award: Horror Movie Classics

Ever wish you could step inside the world of your favorites horror movie? If the answer is yes, you're probably a crazy person. In any case, Woods of Terror's slasher themed section places directly in the action of such films as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and the mother of them all, Halloween. Just be sure not to be the horror geek who halts the group to remind everyone, "Well, technically Jason never showed up until Friday the 13th Part 2." 

The 'Most Likely to Make a New Friend' Award: Blackout Terror

If you're heading into Woods of Terror alone, you've already set yourself up to be the top target for the maze's most monstrous creatures. However, there's no better way to pick up a few friends than the final attraction of the evening. How's that you say? Oh, something about having a bag over your head and having to make your way though a pitch black section of the maze. What's that you say? No neon-drenched cat-goblin is going to put a bag over your head? Good for you! Too bad it's so dark during this section that it won't make a difference if that bag is on your head or not. Use this opportunity to become the newest member of a random family or put your good Samaritan shoes on by helping two elderly women get to the other side.

The 'Ugh! What is that Smell?' Award: Slaughter House

Eager for a haunted house that immerses you with the full array of your senses? Then Slaughter House is just what you're looking for! The Texas Chain Saw Massacre inspired section will come to life through collection of wondrous sights, sounds and smells. See the hanging bodies of unsuspecting travelers gently sway in the meat room, hear the roaring sound of a chainsaw down a dark tunnel and smell to rich, heavy stench of rotten meat. You also might feel drips of water from in the house but that might just be leaky pipes.

The 'Oh That's Kind of Cool' Award for believable effect: Blackbeard's Revenge

Pirates are not THAT scary but it's pretty hard not to be impressed when this section of the maze begins swaying like a ship on the ocean. Good work everyone!

The 'I'm Taking These Glasses Off!' Award for Scariest Use of 3D: Chaos 3D

No, you're not about to get a special look at next Avatar movie. The reason you will be handed glasses at this section of the maze will be to throw you off and keep you on your toes. Is that a real person or just a 3D effect on the wall. Is that a box some demented clown is about to jump out of? All those thoughts and more will be running through your head during crazed circus attraction, which likely features the most jump-scares per inch out of any part of the maze. Just don't get caught on the rotating floor for fear of becoming a killer clown's next victim.

The 'Aw Shucks' Award for Best Unintentional Compliment: The Purge Anarchy

Look, Woods of Terror is intense and sometimes you need a little sunshine to bring up your confidence while running around screaming like a 5 year old. I don't think The Purge themed section of the maze was supposed to brighten your spirits but shout out to the psycho clown lady who said I had a face so cute she wished she could cut it off and wear it like a mask. Sometimes the most impactful words can come from the most unexpected places!
