It's our 30th year of scaring revelers in the woods! We reinvent ourselves each year to create a fresh terrifying experience, and 2022 is no different.

The Town has been completely renovated, with new scenes, freaky characters, amazing new effects & lighting upgrades. There is so much going on that you’re sure to soil yourself! Markoffs Haunted Forest is Maryland’s original greatest Halloween event, and you will be amazed by our haunts, our extreme events, and huge bonfires! Get Ready, Get Psyched!

The Trail:
This is our "original" trail at Markoff’s. Our famously huge sets will blow your mind with a full, multisensory experience. The terrain is tough, taking you both above and under ground - with terror everywhere - very wooded, heavily shadowed, and your deepest and darkest primal fears lurking where you least suspect them. Startles and images designed to have you jump out of your shoes.


The Town:
An entire town located on the opposite side of our farm, your excursion starts and ends with a shuttle that drops you off into an old town filled with the worst that our imagination can throw at you. Churches, mineshaft, butcher shops, jails, saloons, and cat houses, this town is entirely too big to fit in our forest!
