The Town has been completely renovated, with new scenes, freaky characters, amazing new effects & lighting upgrades. There is so much going on that you’re sure to soil yourself! Markoffs Haunted Forest is Maryland’s original greatest Halloween event, and you will be amazed by our haunts, our extreme events, and huge bonfires! Get Ready, Get Psyched!
The Trail:
This is our "original" trail at Markoff’s. Our famously huge sets will blow your mind with a full, multisensory experience. The terrain is tough, taking you both above and under ground - with terror everywhere - very wooded, heavily shadowed, and your deepest and darkest primal fears lurking where you least suspect them. Startles and images designed to have you jump out of your shoes.
The Town:
An entire town located on the opposite side of our farm, your excursion starts and ends with a shuttle that drops you off into an old town filled with the worst that our imagination can throw at you. Churches, mineshaft, butcher shops, jails, saloons, and cat houses, this town is entirely too big to fit in our forest!

Review This HauntEmail Verified Worth price for the trail
Had gone to Markoff s several years ago and it was our favorite. Loved both the trail and the town. This year the trail was amazing. The town was okay ands didn’t seem as exciting as first time. Not as many creepy things coming out of the cornfield as in past but loved the haunted trail. Added great stuff.

Love Markoff's! Best in the DC area!
Huge fan of all things scary, and this is my favorite October tradition. Have been every year for the past 7 years and it just keeps getting better.

Best haunted attraction
Not only does this attraction have a haunted trail through the woods it has many other features. When you first walk in you enter into the front circle where they have 4 huge bonfires, free games, farm fresh food, rope activities like a zip line, a giant swing, and the death jump. They also have a haunted hayride and non haunted hayride and a haunted maze. So while you are waiting to enter into one of the two trails in the woods you have stuff to do. Once your number is called you pick which trail to go down. The best thing about Markoffs is that they don't go on blood and guts. They go with natural fears. And use the wood for their advantage. The thing that makes Markoffs great is that it's a fundraiser. Majority of the money goes back to the community and charities. The rest goes into the camp to have scholarships for kids who can't afford to attend summer camp. It also helps keep the camp open year round for schools to attend and for team building activities. I highly highly highly recommend this to any age.

Great new attraction
I have been going to markoffs for years now, so I was super surprised to see a new attraction called "The Town". It use to be a hayride, but wow was it imp proved and very comparable in scares to any trail! Great job markoffs

Best haunted attraction in Maryland!
Great Make up artists to make the scares for real. The trails are made up with 13 different scenes. You have a choice to do upto 3 trails as well. 3rd trail is a hayride built in with a haunted trail on the other side of the farm. During the main circle while waiting for your number to be called your able to some fun camp things that you would most likely remember in your childhood but all with the feel of spooks. I would say this would be the best in Montgomery county.

The Best Around
I went three times this year and had a blast every time! The actors were great! From those hiding in the forest, the town, and the hallow to the greeters telling you the rules. Everyone was amazing! Also, won a zip line pass and it was amazing to zip in the dark!!
