America's #1 Haunted Attraction Transforms Its Four World-Class Experiences Into a One-of-a-Kind Holiday Horror Event

MOUNTVILLE, PA / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / When most people think of St. Patrick's Day, they think of shamrocks, green beer, and parades. Field of Screams, the nationally recognized haunted attraction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has a different tradition in mind: leprechauns that want to make your worst nightmares come true.

On Saturday, March 13, and Sunday, March 14, 2026, Field of Screams will host its returning St. Patrick's Day Haunt - a limited, two-night event that reimagines its signature haunted experiences through an all-new holiday lens. Themed building décor, original scenes, and a cast of evil leprechauns and sinister trolls will inhabit the grounds for what organizers are calling an entirely distinct show from the venue's fall season programming.

"There is no better way to celebrate St. Paddy's Day than by being at Field of Screams," the company said in announcing the event. The attraction has been scaring visitors since 1993, earning recognition from USA Today, Time Magazine, the Travel Channel, and Oprah Magazine, among others. It has welcomed more than one million guests from across the East Coast and beyond - and its St. Paddy's Day offering is among the first opportunities of 2026 for horror fans to return to the Mountville grounds before the main fall season begins.

A Familiar Venue, Fully Reimagined

Field of Screams is best known for its four flagship haunted experiences: the Haunted Hayride, the Den of Darkness Horror Barn, the Frightmare Asylum Haunted House, and the Nocturnal Wasteland Haunted Trail. Together, they form what the attraction describes as the Ultimate AtmosFEAR - a multi-hour journey through meticulously crafted sets, live scare actors, and theatrical effects that has made it a destination for visitors from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York, and beyond.

For the St. Patrick's Day Haunt, those same spaces are being overhauled with new characters and scenes built exclusively for the event. Attendees should not expect a repeat of anything they've seen during a fall visit. According to Field of Screams, the holiday programming is purpose-built to stand on its own - which means a fresh experience even for returning guests who know every corner of the property.
