Encore Weekend 2026
We are sure you noticed, but that big “wintery” holiday has already taken over the radio and ads on TV, and spots in the stores. While our beloved Halloween season is about out of time, we have one last chance to enjoy all that we love about our holiday. We call it, “Encore Weekend.”
Inspired by the immortal, infamous words of Clark W. Griswold, “Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Halloween. No, no. We’re all in this together! This is a full-blown, four-alarm Halloween emergency here. We’re gonna press on, and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Halloween since Jason Voorhees danced with Freddy freaking Krueger. And when Michael Myers comes barging through that door tonight, he’s gonna find the scariest bunch of creepers this side of Haddonfield.”
Here is a list of all the haunted attractions open this weekend and some special events that they might be hosting!
