A massive late-night haunted corn maze fundraiser (3,700+ feet), aimed at teens and adults who want a Halloween-season night out, not families seeking daytime pumpkin picking.
$7 ages 11+, $5 ages 3-10, free under age 2
Rough cost for a family of four: about $28.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
The Field of Screams is not a pumpkin patch in the traditional sense. It is a 3,700-foot haunted corn maze run by the Valley Volunteer Fire Department as a fundraiser, open only on October weekends from dusk to approximately 1am. If you are a family seeking a Saturday-morning pumpkin-picking outing, this is not your stop. If you are a group of teens or a couple looking for an evening thrill activity close to Halloween, it is exactly what it advertises.
The fundraiser model means proceeds go back to the Valley Volunteer Fire Department. Admission ($7 adults, $5 kids 3–10, free under 2) is modest, and glow sticks are available for purchase to navigate the dark maze. The maze itself is the only attraction; there is no petting zoo, hayrides, or gift shop to pad the visit.
Dusk until 1am is a hard sell for families with early bedtimes, but it is the hook for the intended audience: teenagers and young adults wanting a Halloween-season outing. Fog, darkness, and actors working the maze create the haunted atmosphere. Older kids (12+) and adults get the intended experience. Children 10 and under may find it legitimately frightening, depending on temperament. Do not bring a sensitive child expecting a fun, spooky adventure; this is built for a scare.
Late October (October 26–30) will be the busiest window. The weekend-only schedule means you have eight operating days (four weekends). If Halloween falls on a weekend, that weekend will draw the largest crowd. Mid-October is quieter.
Entry to a massive corn maze in the dark. A glow stick helps you navigate, but getting lost is part of the experience. Budget one to two hours for the maze; once you solve it (or give up), your visit is over. This is not an all-day venue.
The fire department context means a high-quality, community-oriented operation — not a commercial haunt factory. Knowing proceeds support local emergency services adds meaning beyond the thrill.
A late-night corn maze in the dark is not a thing every region can offer. Most pumpkin patches close by sunset; the Field of Screams inverts that entirely. For Halloween-season seekers who want something beyond the usual haunted house, it is distinctive.
The trade-off: this is a single-attraction venue, not a diversified farm experience. You are driving for one specific thing: the haunted maze at night. If that is exactly what you want, the price is fair and the cause is good. If you are hoping for pumpkin picking, farm animals, or daytime activities, look elsewhere.
Weekends in October only, dusk until approximately 1am. This is an evening-into-night venue, not an afternoon activity. Late-October dates (closer to Halloween) will draw the intended crowd. If you are planning a Halloween-week trip, October 26–30 is the peak window.
One to two hours to navigate the haunted corn maze, depending on how many times you get lost or scared into wrong turns.
Weekends only in October. Late October (closer to Halloween) will be busiest. The late-night hours mean a self-selecting crowd of teenagers and adults, not families with small kids.
Not published. Assume roadside or lot parking; the location is on Huntington Road (WV Route 2).
You have young children (under 8); this is a haunted attraction, not a u-pick farm experience. Also skip if you need an afternoon/early-evening activity — the farm opens at dusk and runs until approximately 1am, far outside standard pumpkin-patch hours.
Located in Apple Grove (Mason County), on Huntington Road. This is a standalone evening activity, not paired with daytime attractions.
No. This is a haunted corn maze aimed at teens and adults for Halloween-season thrills. Children 10 and under may find it frightening.
Open dusk to approximately 1am on weekends in October. Specific opening time depends on sunset; later in October, that is earlier in the calendar day.
$7 ages 11 and up, $5 ages 3–10, free under age 2. Glow sticks are available for purchase to help navigate the dark.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Weekends in October, dusk until approximately 1am. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission starts at $7 per person. $7 ages 11+, $5 ages 3-10, free under age 2
Huntington Road (WV Route 2), Apple Grove, WV 25502, in Mason County. It is one of 17 patches we track in West Virginia.
We track 17 patches in West Virginia, 2 of which are free to walk into. At $7 a head this one sits right on the regional median of $7.
What sets it apart locally: it has an after-dark attraction, which most West Virginia patches on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 7 of the 17 patches we track in West Virginia had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
