Join other monsters and villains in training at this fabled institution where potions, charms, shadow shifting, spellcasting, and other eerie subjects make up your course load. But be warned: The library is definitely haunted. You’ll lose your appetite once you see the ghastly cafeteria meals. Turn down the wrong hallway and you could end up ensnared in a spider’s web. And being included in the school’s Hall of Fame is anything but an honor. At Fright Academy, every day feels like detention day. So come join the Class of 2026—if you dare.
Open Oct. 9–31, 2026.
