Magic Mountain really seems to have made an effort to double down on live entertainment at Fright Fest this year. Could definitely use some refinement (the 25-minute, standing room only dance/stunt/BMX show is perhaps a bit much), but I have to give them props for ambition and effort.

Fright Fest at Magic Mountain hasn't traditionally been part of my annual haunt rotation, but that changed this year. I was very impressed by the build quality of their maze environments, the variety and inventiveness of their gags, and the sheer volume of live entertainment offerings.

Now that Dark Harbor and Haunted Hayride have been hollowed out by Thirteenth Floor Entertainment, and with Halloween Horror Nights creatively running on autopilot, Fright Fest comes in at a pretty easy second place behind Knott's Scary Farm in the lineup of major SoCal haunt attractions.
