Ravenfell Manor YArd Haunt

Ravenfell Manor is a majority DIY yard haunt based on the dark fantasy book series Ravenfell Chronicles: Origins by Brand J. Alexander. It is a gallery of enchantingly dark artistry. With a little fun mixed in.

Stand before the ominous gates of Ravenfell Manor, grown from the gnarled branches of the Ravenwood Tree, roots feasting from the boneyard of graves and tombs that proliferate the manor grounds beyond. Beware, what dies here rarely remains dead.

Do you dare enter? Beaumont Ravenfell, the manor’s master, is an avid collector of monstrosities and summoner of demons. His beasts stalk the grounds freely and feed upon whatever or whomever they desire. Fenris the Werewolf and Arachnea the Broodmother are just the first of many horrors that await you.

Risk the old crone’s curse within the Witches’ Hollow and the lair of Hildegard Ravenfell. Her many potions are as lethal as the denizens that prowl nearby. Perhaps you will even glimpse the Raven King, the spiritual founder of the family’s lineage, as he slips between shadows in the dark of night.

And if your courage has not yet given out, then brave the twisted vines and demonic Soul Gourds of Katerina Ravenfell. Death permeates the fetid soil of her gardens, and with her magic, beautiful death flourishes in abundance. A pumpkin patch of nightmares. A Harvest of Souls.

Hours of Operation: Ravenfell Manor is open for streetside viewing (Sidewalk and Drive-By) throughout our haunting season. We light scenes as we set them up, so the display evolves each week. Check Facebook for the official display start date. For night viewing, Ravenfell Manor is lit from Dusk until 11 pm every night. (Weather Permitting) Walk-throughs are by invite only except for scheduled gate opening weekends. (Last two weekends of October.) Ravenfell Manor is open Halloween night for Trick or Treat 5-8 pm. Lights on and walk-through until 11 pm. Check Facebook for weather closings, special event schedules, season kick-off, and new scenes.

Admission Costs: We are a completely free haunt experience. Although, we do ask that visitors bring a nonperishable food or toiletry donation for our Haunts Against Hunger Food Drive. We don’t require it to participate. The Ravenfell Antiquities gift shop is open during gate opening weekends and Halloween night. Accepts Cash, Credit, and Paypal.

Ravenfell Manor doesn’t do blood and gore. There are few, if any, startle props. The ones we include often have step pads or visible triggers for kids to interact with. While the monsters are scary, the manor falls more into the spooky category. At least before nightfall. Many of our young visitors come while it is light out but often insist on returning at night when lit up.

If you’re unsure, drive by and let them behold it from the safety of the back seat. Get out and walk the sidewalk in front. There is much to enjoy and see without walking the manor paths. In fact, many families have made driving by several times before the big night a tradition.
