Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ taking Fright Fest to the extreme this year

Calling all thrill-seekers and horror enthusiasts!

Halloween might be a few months away but Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey is already preparing for the biggest Fright Fest ever.

Organizers say this year Fright Fest Extreme - the largest investment and expansion of Fright Fest yet - will return with a vengeance inviting guests to step into a world of nightmarish creatures.

The haunts will be inspired by legendary horror brands such as Twisted Pictures’ "SAW" franchise, Netflix’s "Stranger Things" and "Army of the Dead", Warner Bros. Discovery’s "The Conjuring", "Annabelle" and "The Nun" and Legendary Entertainment’s "Trick ‘r Treat."

Guests will also be treated to a new experience from Netflix and Legendary Entertainment’s "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
