The Field is a creepy old fashion stroll through an abandoned village of destruction and death. The only light you see is the candle lit lanterns thad mark your path through the abandoned corn stalks. You experience many Victorian Era themes along your journey, excellent actors and jump scares unlike any you’ve experienced else where. The field certainly gets under your skin in ways you can’t imagine. The acting is supreme, the sets are beautifully haunting. The highlight for us is most definitely the puppet show house you get the opportunity to walk through!

Unfortunately due to COVID19, this year you can not go into Sleepy Hollows famous Haunted House. This year they went over and above to create an outdoor walkthrough incorporating newly designed areas that were both safe and functional alongside the original Houses outdoor structures. This was so so perfectly that it blew our minds. The sets, and actors and so elite here at Sleepy Hollow that you end up feeling entirely immersed in the scene you’re experiencing. You never know what to expect and sometimes it’s hard to decipher if what you’re seeing is real or one of the elaborate special effects their design team has created this time! The catacombs and graveyard scenes are by far our favorites. It is so difficult to narrow down favorites with this haunt! Everything is done so beautifully! Jump scares are done almost effortlessly, the scenes themselves are so dark and haunting that they invoke a nightmarish atmosphmere soley before even adding the special effects and actors into the mix!
