Not only will you scream your face off inside 13 bone-chilling attractions, but this year brings live music, iconic horror vehicles, and exclusive guest appearances that you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re a metalhead, horror nerd, Scooby-Doo fan, or just love chaos with your cotton candy, this year’s events will haunt your calendar in the best possible way.

👻 September Screams and Shredded Guitars


🎤 September 19 – Double Concert Night

Get ready for a Friday night that shreds harder than a chainsaw in a cornfield.

  • Charlie Farley hits the stage from 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM
  • Austin Martin & The Herd follows up from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM

⚠️ Special Ticket Alert:
Each concert has its own ticket, or you can grab a combo pass to attend both concerts + the full haunt experience. Either way, Lake Hickory Haunts admission is included, so you’ll dance, scream, and survive the night (probably).

🕙 Last Entry Reminder: The final group enters at 10:00 PM, so even if you show up at the last minute, you’ll still get the full terror tour.


🎸 September 26 – Bourbon Sons Live

Rock out with Bourbon Sons from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
No extra ticket needed, included with general admission. Yes, that’s right: buy your haunt ticket and enjoy a killer concert in the house. Just try not to spill your soda when the bass drops and the clowns pop out.


🚨 October = Madness on Four Wheels

🛻 October 3 & 4 – Jeepers Creepers Truck + The Creeper’s Cousin

Yes, the actual screen-used Jeepers Creepers truck will be parked on-site and it’s bringing its horrifying cousin along for the ride.
This isn’t just a photo op, it’s a screaming match between your inner child and your fight-or-flight reflexes. Snap your pics before the Creeper gets peckish…

✔️ Included with general admission!

🕵️‍♂️ October 10 – November 2 – Mystery Machine & Stranger Things Pizza Van

It’s nostalgia meets nightmare fuel! Catch these replica vehicles from two of pop culture’s creepiest and most beloved franchises:

  • 🟦 The Mystery Machine – Zoinks, Scoob!

  • 🍕 Stranger Things Surfer Boy Pizza Van – Straight from the Upside Down

These vans are photo-perfect and vibe-certified, and yes, they’re also included with admission. Just don’t be surprised if something… supernatural… is lurking near the pizza boxes.

🎶 November Ends with a Bang (and Probably a Scream)

🔥 November 1 – Contagious Concert

Close out the season with a Halloween-weekend banger!
Contagious takes the stage from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and this infectiously high-energy concert is the final live show of the year.

Your haunted journey ends with guitars, screams, and just enough rhythm to distract you from whatever’s following you back to the parking lot.

✔️ Like all other October and November events, included with Lake Hickory Haunts admission.

🎟️ One Ticket. Infinite Screams.

Special events, concerts, and celebrity guests are all included with admission unless otherwise noted. The only exception? The epic Charlie Farley + Austin Martin night on September 19, which offers combo passes or single-concert options.

Otherwise, all you have to do is:

  1. Buy your ticket

  2. Show up before 10 PM

  3. Scream, dance, snap photos, and survive
