REVIEW: NIGHTMARE AT WHITING WOODS

Glendale’s Nightmare in Whiting Woods is a legendary home haunt. For years it has been a mysterious entity, haunting the hillside of this suburban home’s yard. It is a classic haunt that that never repeats its theme, and always brings to life immersive worlds that hold incredible detail, craftsmanship, and ingenuity. This epic maze is a very special experience, made that much rarer by the fact that it is only open on Halloween night.

This year’s theme was a haunted town from the Old West. We entered into the town through a saloon, complete with guns and liquor, whose resident spectral, bucktoothed bartentender taunted us as he hovered over a passed out cowboy. We then entered into the backyard which contained a life-size replica of a Western town complete with cadaverous barns, tobacco and casket shops, TNT crates, and tombstones. Throughout the town, various spirits of troubled cowboys come out to scare us as they inched us towards the cornfield, where a possessed scarecrow came to life. As we exited the town we entered a large, desert cave where a chainsaw-wielding cowboy came out from behind us to scare us home.

Nightmare in Whiting Woods has consistently offered an enormously visionary DIY yard maze that is always thrilling and creatively captivating. It’s scale and craftsmanship is always beautifully rendered with a tremendous amount of imagination and detail. Though we wish they were open for more nights, we are very grateful that we can experience this exquisitely phantasmic world once a year on Halloween night.
