The Harvest
Harvest is our newest attraction at Night of Terror! An ode to New Jersey and the traditional idea of the “Haunt”, Harvest takes it back to where it all began. Cornfields, swamps and broken-down buses are some of the places you will find all of our evil creatures of the night. Even the farm animals get into the terror. Among all of the scary things lurking in the darkness, keep an eye out for the Jersey Devil who has found its new home in this attraction. To our visitors, don’t be fooled by the familiar feeling you get once you enter the Harvest. There are terrifying surprises at every turn!
