BloodShed Farms Haunted Drive-Thru — Attraction in Springfield Township

Went on a Friday night weekend of Halloween.There may have been 40-50 people in front of us waiting for the hayride (enough for 2 rides of people). They only had two wagons running so we waited about 35 minutes to get on the hayride. It was probably the worst hayride I have ever been on. Props were cheap and tacky, many of the "actors" looked 13 at best, the volume of the dragon/creature in the beginning of the ride was so low it was inaudible, and overall just wasn't scary. We laughed the whole time and joked it was a no scare night. Waiting for the hayride + the hayride itself took about an hour.

Next we moved to the attraction with clowns. The queue wasn't full, but it took us 50 minutes to get into the attraction. There was a VIP line and any time anyone with these tickets got in the line they were immediately let into the attraction. This made the wait for everyone else far too long. VIPs should have been made to wait too. Obviously not an hour because of their upgraded tickets, but until a few standard groups were let in to get the line down. Additionally what made the standard line long was the amount of people that were let in each time. The employee wouldn't combine groups of people together so you would have groups of 2-3 people going in at a time. The employee would then wait 3+ minutes to let in the next group so everyone inside the attraction was spaced out. This place needs to rethink what they are doing because an hour wait for a 5 minute walkthrough is absolutely ridiculous. Once we got into the attraction a clown did a trick and then you were on your own walking through the attraction for about 2 minutes with no one scaring you. We walked through Home Depot / Lowes pipes hanging from the ceiling. Still have no idea how they were supposed to be scary. Later on, once or twice someone popped out at us. At one point we had to crouch down to crawl through a dirty, large plastic pipe. Pointless. Twice we had to walk through inflatable walls and if you were uncomfortable doing that, too bad because there was no one in there to help. Any time I have seen these walls they have been at the beginning of an attraction where someone could deflate them if you are uncomfortable walking through. Not this place. Finally, this attraction led you to a maze in complete darkness with clowns who can't be seen because it's completely dark pop up in your face. You come up against people in the second to last room and can't tell if they're an actor or someone still lost from the group in front of you because it's too damn dark. Someone I was with then had an anxiety attack because it was so dark with no clear exit or path to get out.

After finally getting out of the clown attraction, we left. $35 dollars and only did 2 out of 4 attractions in almost 3 hours. I will never go back here or recommend it to anyone. I have been to Bates Motel, Penn Hyurst Asylum, and Eastern State Penitentiary. These places all handle 5 to 10 times above the volume of people Bloodshed Farms does and they do it so much more efficiently with better queues, actors, props,...

Where do I even start....

If you're like me, you're wondering if a "drive thru" can even be scary or as fun as it appears from imagining it.

You're also thinking, if you should go do hayrides and trails, just to avoid extra car time since Halloween attractions can be a long drive.

Let me just tell you, it's best experienced and hard to explain into words.You will NOT regret this.

This place triumphs many other Halloween attractions simply because it's an unique idea and it's executed very well. It's beautifully crafted with epic performances and amazing set pieces.

From the moment you enter, the staff is extra helpful in leading the way. You're told to turn off headlights for entire duration with only hazards on and this creates some epic immersion. There's no traffic jam or cars bunched to get in or anything, you do wait in a line but the farm is huge and can accommodate lots of cars.

I would say, compared to other haunted trails or hayrides, the jump scares for this feel more life-like in a way. You think you're comfortable and secure in your car but when actors pop up, you feel it more intensely (in an entertaining way) and it feels more organic.

The biggest highlight of it all is definitely the actors, this is a touch experience. Some will interact specific to you, some get in the car to terrify you, some throw water, some throw other stuff, some get in your face and etc. It's all done in a positive and engaging artistic manor.

They're not there just to jump scare and leave, they all have interesting dialogue along with stories to tell. There's a purpose to each sequence. There's also actors at every turn, there's rarely any dead zone or quiet moments, which is highly impressive.

If I had to guess there's at least 40-50+ actors and the drive-thru itself felt like a solid 25 minutes or so.

Also, the darkness and lighting is crafted very well. I can tell lots of effort went into creating the intricate sets to give you the true horror movie experience and you're driving through a dark farm so the experience really comes to life.

The only complaint I have is how they strictly say not to stop and keep steady at 1-3 mph, there was one moment when cars caught up with each other, and the attraction is suitable for cars bunched up together but I think the experience can benefit from spacing out an extra 10-20 seconds or so.

Overall, this place is going down as one of my favorites...

If you think you’ve seen every kind of Halloween scare, prepare to have your expectations flipped—literally. The Bloodshed Haunted Drive-Thru isn't just a scenic route with spooky decorations; it's a non-stop, high-octane horror experience that was easily the most fun we've had all season. My friend and I were expecting a few jump scares and maybe some elaborate props, but what we got was a masterclass in controlled chaos and unpredictable twists.

The genius of this event lies in how it exploits the safety of your own vehicle. At first, your car feels like a sanctuary, but that feeling quickly dissolves as the environment closes in. The production design is cinematic—we’re talking intense strobe lights, booming sound effects piped directly through a designated FM channel, and thick, disorienting fog that made judging distances impossible. Just when we thought we had the rhythm of the track down, we were sent plunging into a series of sharp, unexpected turns. This wasn't just driving; it was like being in a low-speed, horror-themed chase scene.

The real twist, however, came from the performers. They weren't just standing next to the track; they were lurking everywhere, popping up from behind cleverly hidden obstacles, and using the tight, winding route to their advantage. One moment, we were laughing at a grotesque clown prop, and the next, a terrifying character was pressing their face against the driver’s side window after we took a sudden, blind 90-degree turn. The way the route was laid out made it genuinely impossible to anticipate the scares, earning the "twist and turns" praise twofold—both in the road design and the narrative jump scares. If you’re looking for a fresh, high-energy, and completely unique way to get your fright fix, the Haunted Drive-Thru is a must-do. It's loud, it's intense, and it will make you grip your steering wheel for dear life—not just from the fear, but from the sheer adrenaline-pumping fun of it all. Bring a friend who doesn't mind a few unexpected screams!
