Step deeper into the shadows as we return to the twisting, torch-lit paths of the Middletown Haunted Trail. In this chilling fourth installment of our Into the Trail series, we sit down with Michael McKnight ,Manager of the Haunted Trail at Land of Illusion.

Michael has walked these woods for years, not just as a leader, but as a storyteller of fear, guiding his crew to weave nightmares that linger long after the screams fade. In this heartfelt and haunting conversation, he opens up about the craft of building terror from the ground up, the family-like bond of his team, and the eerie magic that transforms a quiet trail into a living, breathing nightmare each October.

From the crunch of leaves underfoot to the distant roar of chainsaws in the dark, this episode will pull you into the very heartbeat of the trail… and remind you why some journeys are meant to be taken only under the moonlight.

This carousel never stops spinning.
