Maniacs in The Woods
We are Maniacs in the Woods, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit haunted trail operated at Paradise Lakes Family Campground in Bristolville, Ohio.
Each October, our haunted trail comes alive with terrifying characters, immersive
sets, and a chilling atmosphere that draws in thrill-seekers from across the region.
Maniacs in the Woods has become a much-anticipated annual attraction.
The screams are for fun, but our mission is to support Venture Crew 4077, a youth organization focused on leadership and outdoor adventure. While the majority of our funds are put into the crew, we also take any additional proceeds and reinvest them into local community programs and projects that help make our area stronger and more connected.

Reviews
First time ever going to this one, loved the fact that it’s in the woods and was nowhere as busy as other places we’ve been to and the price for our family of 4 was well worth it, there was a DJ playing some Halloween music and other stuff and my daughter loved the Photo Booth and laser engraved mementos and the “movie theater” was a nice touch too, didn’t eat any food from the food truck that was there but from what we seen it looked good. Definitely plan on coming back next year!

Kept hearing about this place and thought well for 15 bucks. Let’s check it out. I spend way more at other haunts that are supposed to be great and turn out horrible. They have so many jump scares all timed perfectly. It really gets your heart pounding and thinking what’s next. Highly recommend everyone check it out. Don’t be discouraged because of a 15.00 price or volunteer cast. They bring it.

My family visits maniacs in the woods every year. Each year they get better and better. I love to support a nonprofit and the actors work really hard to put on a great show. The scenes are scary, the woods are spooky and the atmosphere really puts you in the spooky mood for the Halloween season!
I want to add, this is family friendly. If you have little ones you can request that the actors tone it down and they will page the actors in the woods to let them know to tone it down, which is very appreciated!! Thank you maniacs in the woods for being a staple in my families memories.

I love maniacs in the woods! Their new location is so spooky and I think it’s way better than their old location. It seems the walk is a little longer which I enjoy and there were adequate scares throughout the spooky trail. I love that they have local vendors and music. The price is definitely fair for the fun you’ll have!! For such short notice this year they truly pulled the haunt off, great work maniacs!!

New location is a little further than the old location but definitely felt like it was longer and much more spookier than the old location, the vendors were awesome we got some freeze dried candy, and the photo-booth was awesome my kids loved it definitely will come back again
