WJRR's Local Haunts

The Haunted Road

Orlando | Select nights through 11/6

  • The Haunted Road is Central Florida’s first drive-thru, completely contactless Halloween experience.
  • The entire event was designed with physical distancing measures in mind, from contact-free check-in by QR code, to immersive drive-in scenes.
  • The event features a terrifying mix of theatrical storytelling, horrifying creatures, unexpected scares and a twisted take on immortal tales to satiate the need for screams this fall, all from the comfort of your car. 
  • The original storyline presents familiar characters like you have never seen them before. As guests drive through each nightmarish scene, they’ll be immersed into a ghastly rendition of an untold story of Rapunzel as she journeys into a world of disarray, faces bloodcurdling creatures – and lots of shocking scares.
  • Guests will be driving from scene to scene, and the story will come to life through set pieces, props, live actors, lighting, sound and visual effects to truly immerse you and your group into Rapunzel’s journey.
  • Similar to a drive-in theater, you’ll tune in to a radio station to hear the stereo sound and music synced to the live action.
  • At each scene, guests will be required to park their car in order to experience the terrifying story. Actors may approach the cars only while safely parked.
  • A family-friendly version of the event will also be available during the daytime on select weekends. The daytime version will feature an adaptation of the immersive scenes and storyline, but trading screams for Halloween fun the entire family can enjoy. 
  • The event will take place in East Orlando at 15239 Lake Pickett Road, Orlando, FL 32820.
  • Guests can get haunted on select nights through November 6. Tickets will start at $15 per person and will vary per event night.
  • Tickets must be purchased in advance online; there won’t be any ticket sales available at the event location.
  • At the time of purchase, you will have to select a specific date and entrance time. The event is expected to sell out, so make sure to get your tickets early!
