👀😱 Our Visit To Kim's Krypt Haunted Mill 🎃🖤 

Date: Friday 9/20/2024

Location: Spring Grove, PA


Kim's Krypt Haunted Mill has tagged themselves as “The Haunt That Actually Scares You”, and with them celebrating their 31st season this year, of course Fright Review Squad was not going to miss a chance to visit our Krazy friends at Kim’s Krypt!. Kim's Krypt has been a staple in our annual Haunt Tour for many years now due to their consistency in providing a spooky fun experience. Not to mention the Merry Scary Kim’s Kryptmas & Halfway to Halloween events that fill our void for spine-tingling scares all year long! 


Kim’s Krypt features 5 attractions of sheer terror: Dark Despair, The House of Eyes, Terror Trail, The Haunted Mill and the Horror of Menges Mill. Over the past seasons the midway has grown expansively and now features several food trucks, a 5 minute zombie escape room, a gift shop with a plethora of options, photo-ops & more. The highlight of the midway has to be Maggot’s Fortress, a junkyard style playhouse that any adult would be jealous of. NEW for 2024 is Maggot’s Escape, an all new 5 minute escape room experience! You can usually find both “Maggot” and “Otis” romping around the Fortress, showing off all their toys & flaming tricks (boy do they love FIRE)! Maggot’s Fortress certainly makes for a pretty epic photo opportunity! Special shout-out to the midway characters we’ve come to know & love; Otis, Maggot, Trixie, Cookie, CJ Smiles, and we could never forget Krazy Kim & her severed head! 


One of the many reasons we keep returning to Kim’s Krypt each year is to appreciate the extensive changes and enhancements the build team makes year in and year out. Over the past few seasons we’ve seen complete overhauls to all of the attractions at Kim’s Krypt! Attractions like The House of Eyes, The Haunted Mill, & Horror of Menges Mill are nearly unrecognizable now compared to just a few seasons ago! It takes a passionate & committed crew to pull off extensive changes like completely revamping an attraction! This past off-season it seems the Kim’s Krypt Krew gave each attraction a little love, adding in new surprises throughout! 


While we don’t want to give too much away, we’ll give you a brief teaser of each attraction: 

- Dark Despair - Complete darkness & eerie audio effects make for an unnerving journey. You’ll be completely disoriented as you try to navigate the snake-like pathways in absolute darkness. Can your nerves handle the suspense of Dark Despair? 

- Terror Trail - Clowns, hillbillies, sinister asylum doctors, chainsaw wielding maniacs, horror film favorites, & much more will be encountered on this 20 minute journey through the dark woods! Don’t be fooled by the quietness of the woods, as all sorts of relentless creatures lurk within the darkness! Special shout-out to Groot who was perfectly hidden in the woods & delivered a blood-curdling startle! We also have to recognize the efforts of Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger, who delivered frightening engagements! 

- House of Eyes - Traverse swiftly as all eyes are on you. You can’t help but feel you’re being watched around each and every corner. Trust us, there’s no place to hide in this House of Mayhem! Disorienting lighting, moving floors & cleverly hidden spooks make for an unnerving journey! You’ll almost feel like a part of the show as The House of Eyes comes alive around you! We loved the rat who viscously attacked us in the kitchen! 

- The Haunted Mill - Four floors of FEAR & fretting that you’ll never escape, just when you think your journey has concluded… but wait, there’s more! Mad scientists, eerie cave dwellers, crazed asylum patients, goofy clowns, you name it and you’ll likely encounter it in this monstrosity of an attraction! We’re always jaw-dropped when we encounter the massive Angel of Death & the other impressive animatronics, some of which come from ALL directions! Truly something for everyone in The Haunted Mill. 

- Horror of Menges Mill - Coffins, swamp creatures, dragons oh my! Tread lightly as the inhabitants in this Mill are relentless in their attack. Scares seemingly came from every which direction leaving us no sense of comfort during this exhilarating adventure! Your worst fears and nightmares certainly come to life in this Mill of Horrors! The aesthetically pleasing, bone-chilling & intimidating Dragon’s Den may be one of the best endings to an attraction we’ve ever encountered! You’ll never know what’s lurking around the next corner! Don’t forget to snag a photo with the monstrous dragon lurking outside the Horror of Menges Mill! 


We’d be neglectful if we didn’t mention the Kraziness that ensues on “Anything Goes Night”, which is hosted on Sunday September 29th this year! The benefit of this unhinged night is all tourists can choose whether they are courageous enough to endure the utter mayhem or not! One of our fearless members, Christy, has endured the madness of Anything Goes Night in seasons past & boy was she in for a special treat as she experienced the sinister shenanigans firsthand. Choosing to mark yourself with a glow necklace is proof you’re valiant & fair game to the crazed creatures lurking on the property! 


Kim’s Krypt Haunted Mill is open weekends now through November 3rd, stop by & get a scare, take an exhilarating hearse/coffin ride and enjoy a spooky fun night out! Huge thanks to Kim Yates and her dedicated crew. It is always nice to spend an evening with you! Stay Spooky! 


P.S. If you’ve read this far and plan on visiting Kim’s Krypt this season, be sure to snag BOGO (buy one, get one) tickets through Clipp/LocalFlavor! You can also find $5 off coupons in Kim’s Krypt brochures, which are scattered throughout all sorts of establishments in Central PA!
