ARLINGTON, Texas – July 15, 2024 - Six Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, today announced an expansive lineup of terrifying horror franchises ahead of the park’s highly anticipated annual Halloween event, Fright Fest. Beginning on Friday, September 13, thrill-seekers and horror enthusiasts are invited to immerse themselves in the pulse-pounding excitement and terror that only Fright Fest can deliver.

Visitors to the park will step into a world where nightmarish creatures inspired by legendary horror brands come to life with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ SAW franchise, Netflix’s Stranger Things, Warner Bros. Discovery’s The Conjuring, Legendary Entertainment’s Trick ‘r Treat, and Netflix & Legendary Entertainment’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

“Over the past 30 years, Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Texas has cemented itself as a Halloween classic,” says Park President Richard Douaihy, “so we are thrilled to welcome these icons of thrill and horror to add even more eerie excitement to this year’s event.”

Details of this year’s new attractions include:

  • The SAW Franchise - Celebrate the 20th anniversary of SAW with an all-new experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging guests into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Guests will endure torturous trials and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.

  • The Conjuring Universe - Strap in for a tour of the Warrens’ most hair-raising and gruesome cases including those that inspired The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. In each realm, encounters with cursed artifacts make you the target of the conjuring.

  • Stranger Things - Guests will be able to step into the popular Netflix series through this new immersive maze...stay tuned for more details.

  • Trick ‘r Treat - Enter a dark and twisted candy trail nightmare on a jack-o-lantern-lit path of supernatural encounters which tap into your deepest fears. With Sam, the infamous Spirit of Halloween, as your guide, learn the rules of the spooky holiday before entering a world where tricks dominate treats.

  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) – Guests are “cast” as visitors to Harlow on the heels of the influencers set on revitalizing the town – but their arrival leads to a stunning and deadly secret being revealed.

Three additional original haunts will also be located throughout the park, including:

  • Terror at the Polynesian Palm - The once grand Polynesian Palm Hotel has stood abandoned ever since the deadly hurricane of 1964. Locals blame the catastrophe on the destruction of their sacred flower's habitat, now only blooming in the caves beneath the resort. They claim the deadly plant's pollen also has resurrective properties and warn visitors to the island: stay away from The Palm or you may never leave!

  • Reject Row: Raincheck - Someone has tampered with the theatre's water tanks, so tonight's performance will be postponed...but don't let that stop you from taking your seat! Reports of terrifying screams and shadowy figures are merely urban legends. This is a show you won't want to miss!

  • Unearthed - Explore the tunnels of this abandoned mineshaft, but be sure to avoid the booby traps on your quest to find the Relic of Life Everlasting in this adrenaline-filled adventure taking you back to the old west.

While Fright Fest will provide guests with their Halloween thrills during the night, guests can enjoy less frightening Fall fun during the day at Kids Boo Fest and Oktoberfest.

Fright Fest and Boofest will run from September 13 to November 3. Oktoberfest will be open on select calendar days this Fall. For more information on all events at Six Flags Over Texas, please visit sixflags.com/overtexas.
