The Making of Trick or Treat: Lights Out

Knott's Scary Farm revitalized their long-running Trick or Treat maze by introducing Torch Technology from Gantom — a programmable, infrared-controlled flashlight that dynamically alters each guest's experience based on where they aim the beam. Set inside the haunted home of the Green Witch, the maze operates in near-total darkness, using the interactive flashlight as its central gimmick and scare mechanism. The upgrade breathed new life into the park's oldest maze, which entertainment leadership had considered retiring before discovering the technology. The result is a highly personalized, anxiety-driven journey through darkness that blends innovative lighting tech with classic haunt design.
