Overview
LAND OF 10,000 SCREAMS
The Blue Earth County Fairgrounds becomes home to Northern Frights, Minnesota’s Haunted Grounds, during the month of October. With Minnesota themes scattered through out the Haunt, Mankato’s Haunted House is just a short drive down Hwy 169 under the Oaks in Garden City. We are excited to not only bring a Haunted House to Mankato, but a three part attraction that includes: “The Lair”, a 5,000 sq foot indoor Haunt; a 1/2 mile Zombie Walk on a trail by the river; and our Terror Tunnels. There will also be food and mystical vendors throughout the grounds
Haunted House
Minnesota is rich is folk lore and has many traditions, some of which only like to come out in the dark. Northern Frights is a place where they all gather in October to come out and play. It is the time of the “Fall Gathering” and those who dare can come join them at the secluded grounds by the river.
What has Paul Bunyan done with Babe…? Sasquatch has made it to the Gathering, but we seem to be missing some people. The Northern Lights are out, but so is someone else. The legend of the Edmund Fitzgerald lives, but those who died have “gathered”.
ZOMBIE WALK
Take a walk along the trail in the post apocalyptic world of the un-dead. Be quick and follow the signs towards Terminus. “Sanctuary for ALL. Community for ALL. Those who Arrive Survive”. As you make your way towards Terminus keep those you care about close to you…you are not the only ones on the trail to Terminus. There were many on the path that have “turned” and now join the Zombie army.
Terror Tunnels
The double punch from these tunnels is sure to leave you screaming. Step carefully as you enter the Black Hole, we do hope you come out safely on the other side. If you survive the Black Hole you will enter the darkness. The seemingly never ending darkness of our Claustrophobia Tunnel will leave you wondering if is ever going to end! Making even the bravest souls dig deep to find the resiliency to survive
