The past does not die easily. This haunted cornfield is tormented by the ghosts of many of Farmer McCall's victims. Their desire is to have their story heard and, unfortunately for you, that often leads to new victims joining their ranks.

Come to the farm before your scheduled haunt time or stay late to enjoy food, music, entertainment and other haunted games and attractions.

Tickets for these activities may be purchased at the farm.

There are a number of wood-fired pizzas available, from a Margherita to gourmet-inspired toppings like goat cheese, fiery shrimp or roast chicken. Ditch the standard and order the Motorino: alfredo sauce, spinach, artichoke hearts.

6. Brickyard Pizza

The Brickyard Pizza offers 25 beers on tap and huge slices of pizza – what more could one ask for? Personal pizzas and deep dish pizzas are all available.

Though they have a multitude of delicious menu items, they’re famous for their Blue Ribbon Special. For $4.75, you can get a huge slice of cheese pizza and a PBR.
