Halloween Haunt at Kings Dominion!

Look below for TWO current promo codes and a dozen deals giving you admission to Halloween Haunt for as low as $19.99.

The park is hosting the event weekends Sept. 28 through Oct. 28.

In addition to the usual thrills from its many coasters and rides, get scared silly by haunted houses and sights sure to put a chill up your spine.

Speaking of chills, here's a YouTube video about last year's Guinness World Record for the Largest Vampire Gathering which happened at the park.

Halloween Haunt is open Fridays-Sundays Sept. 28-Oct. 28. It's open Fridays from 7 pm to midnight, 10:30 am to midnight on Saturdays, and 10:30 am to 10 pm on Sundays.

Paramounts Kings Dominion offers "scare zones." Last year's included Cleaver Brothers Carnival, Feary Tales, Ironworx, Necropolis, The Lair, Primeval: The Kuru Curse, and No Vacancy.

They also nine horrifying mazes (including "Blue Ridge Bloodbath" and "Club Blood"), and six frightening shows, including Blood Drums, The Mob, and Night Shift.

As for rides, they have 20 of them open for the event, some from the regular season (like Drop Tower and Intimidator) and Halloween-themed ones like Beserker and The Crypt.

Family Fun for the Little Ones

Although the park makes it clear that the event is not intended for young children (all haunt attractions after 6 pm are rated PG-13), they do offer something new for the little ones:

Family-friendly Howl-O-Fest

Starting Sept. 29, on weekends from noon to 5 pm, they'll offer "spooktacular" pirate Snoopy-themed fun, including pumpkin painting, scavenger hunts, foam pits, adventure shows, and more.

Halloween Haunt Admission Prices

So how much will tickets cost you?

As with many things in life, it pays to plan ahead, so I don't recommend buying tickets at the gate (see below for money-saving alternatives). But if you DO insist on buying them at the gate, here's what you'll pay:
