Terror in the Corn

What Terror in the Corn does

Terror in the Corn is a seasonal immersive haunted attraction operated by Anderson Farms (legal entity: Amaizeing Farm Events DBA Anderson Farms) at 6728 County Road 3 1/4 in Erie, Colorado. Founded in 2019, the attraction operates on select nights from September 25 through October 31, taking visitors on a mile-long journey — branded the 'Mile of Mayhem' — through cornfields into the abandoned ghost town of Raven's Gulch, populated by live scare actors, special effects, fog, and a developed narrative mythology centered on the Wells twins and the witch Dumitra. The company has extended the core attraction into a multi-platform entertainment property spanning a comic book series (Issues #1 and #2, authored by Denver Post bestselling writer Joshua Viola and Shirley Jackson Award finalist Sean Eads) and a survival horror video game developed with BitBot Media and FreakZone Games, currently available on Steam with planned console releases for Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

The business generates revenue primarily through tiered timed ticketing via a third-party Interactive Ticketing platform, with four pricing levels: General Admission (varies by day), Quick Pass (queue bypass), Platinum Pass at $150 (immediate access plus exclusive swag pack and signed comic), and The Final Call Ticket at $200 (guaranteed access on sold-out nights). Every ticket includes entry to the Anderson Farms Fall Festival, bundling a 25-acre corn maze, fire pits, escape rooms, and a shooting gallery. Secondary revenue comes from on-site merchandise sales at the Zombieland Merch Booth and General Store, including apparel, collectible pins, and novelty items such as Property Jars containing dirt from Raven's Gulch. The core team is 5 employees supplemented by a seasonal workforce of scare actors, makeup artists, security, and event staff hired annually at $19/hour. Customer acquisition is driven primarily through organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), SEO, and email newsletters. The company has been ranked #1 Haunted Attraction in Colorado by TheScareFactor.com for five consecutive years (2021-2025) and #2 nationally in 2023.
