DARIEN, N.Y. — ​Fright Fest at Six Flags Darien Lake is back and better than ever.

Get ready to explore haunted mazes and be spooked by frightening zombies and witches at one of its many scare zones.

And don't worry if you’re not into getting terrorized by the park's haunted characters. You and your friends and family can still enjoy the Halloween spirit during the day, with activities like pumpkin painting and live entertainment on the Gazebo Stage.

Fright Fest begins this Friday and runs until Oct. 31.
