First-Timer’s Guide to Surviving Bennett’s Curse & Creepywoods
So, you’ve finally decided to face the DMV’s #1 haunted attractions: Bennett’s Curse Haunted House in Dundalk and Creepywoods Haunted Forest in White Marsh. Congratulations… and good luck.
For 25 years, Bennett’s Curse has been scaring the life out of thrill-seekers, and Creepywoods has been luring the brave into the shadows of the forest. If you’re a first-timer, you might be wondering: How do I survive?
Here’s your guide to making it out alive — and having the most fun while doing it.
👟 Dress for Survival
-
Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll be walking, running (maybe), and dodging monsters.
-
Dress for the weather — Creepywoods is outdoors, and autumn nights can get chilly.
-
Leave the high heels and costumes at home — trust us.
🕒 Arrive Early
Lines get long on peak October weekends. Arrive early or consider upgrading to VIP tickets to skip the wait. The earlier you go in the night, the more time you’ll have to recover from your scares (and maybe go again).
🎟️ Pick the Right Ticket
-
General Admission: Affordable entry to Bennett’s Curse or Creepywoods.
-
VIP Admission: Skip the line, enter anytime.
-
Fright Tour Pass: Experience BOTH attractions for one price — indoor screams and outdoor terror.
👉 First-timers usually love the Fright Tour Pass so they can experience both styles of fear.
👻 Don’t Come Alone
Everything is scarier (and more fun) with friends. Bring a group — that way, you’ll have someone to push in front of you when the monsters get too close.
📸 Capture the Memories
Both Bennett’s Curse and Creepywoods offer great photo ops with monsters and sets. Bring your phone or camera — just don’t try to film inside the attractions (the Keeper of the Curses doesn’t allow that).
🏆 Remember: It’s All Part of the Fun
You will scream. You will jump. You might even run. But in the end, you’ll leave with a smile — and a memory you’ll never forget.
🎃 Ready to Face the Fear?
Now that you know how to survive, it’s time to see if you really can.
