Brimstone Haunt Celebrates 10 Years of Fear—and the Boogeyman Is Waiting
Brimstone Haunt is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and the Wilmington, Ohio, attraction has a new nightmare waiting for visitors this season. With The Boogeyman joining the Haunted Hayride and The Bog, there’s plenty of reason to make a trip out to Brimstone this fall.
Behind the scares is a team whose enthusiasm deserves some attention of its own. The Team at Brimstone have a real passion for what they do. They’re an awesome group of people who care deeply about what they create, and that dedication is part of what makes this haunt worth supporting.
Brimstone also carries a connection to a longtime Ohio Halloween tradition. The Springboro Haunted Hayride and Black Bog entertained haunt fans for more than two decades. After Springboro closed, Brimstone opened in 2017 with familiar props, scenes, and members of the former haunt’s management helping carry that legacy forward. Now, its 10th season adds another chapter to that history.
The big addition for 2026 is The Boogeyman, an attraction built around the figure that has haunted childhood nightmares for generations. Before horror fans knew the names of their favorite movie villains, there was the fear of something waiting in the closet or hiding beneath the bed. Brimstone is giving that fear a place of its own this season.
Then there’s the Haunted Hayride, which earns Fearcast’s recommendation as one of the best in Ohio.
Anyone picturing a quiet wagon ride with a few figures jumping out of the darkness should prepare for something considerably more intense. Brimstone’s hayride brings pyrotechnics and Hollywood-style effects into the mix, creating a big, theatrical experience. One of its standout moments is an intense chase sequence with another vehicle pursuing the hayride. Being carried through the darkness while something gives chase—and having no control over the getaway—is a memorable way to spend a fall evening.
Rounding out the three attractions is The Bog. Its story takes visitors into the shadowy town of Brimstone, where a monstrous presence lurks and creeping black vines spread their darkness. The premise taps into the fear of what might be waiting just beyond view, drawing guests into a place where legends and nightmares have taken root.
The evening doesn’t have to end when visitors emerge from the attractions. Brimstone’s midway offers games, food, and drinks, giving groups a place to catch their breath, compare favorite scares, and enjoy some time together. This year’s new Liquor Lab adds alcoholic beverages to the lineup, giving adult guests another reason to linger between scares.
With a standout hayride, a new attraction devoted to a familiar nightmare, and a passionate crew behind it all, Brimstone has plenty to celebrate in its milestone season. For Ohio haunt fans planning their fall rounds, this is one to put on the list.
Brimstone Haunt is located at 525 Brimstone Road in Wilmington, Ohio. For operating dates, tickets, and details about its 10th-anniversary season, visit Brimstone Haunt’s official website.
