Fright Kingdom, Nashua: The Haunt That Published Its 2026 Dates First
Fright Kingdom published its full 2026 calendar first — opening September 25 and running into December — and remains one of a handful in New England with real dates.
Updated September 2, 2026
Across twenty-six Halloween attractions in six New England states, checked against their own websites, two had published a full 2026 season. One is a corn maze. This is the other.
Fright Kingdom announced first, in plain text, on its own site — and for five weeks it was the only major New Hampshire haunted house you could plan to a specific night. Spooky World finally joined it on September 2, though only because we went looking inside its ticket widget. The full plannable list is tracked live on the announcement tracker.
The 2026 calendar
Opening night is Friday, September 25, then weekends through Saturday, October 31, with Sundays added from October 9 onward.
It does not stop at Halloween:
- In the Dark — November 6 and 7
- Fright Before Xmas — December 4 and 5, then December 11 and 12
Effectively a three-season operation, which is unusual in a category that treats November as the off switch.
Tickets, and the two things that catch people out
$41.00 online, all fees included. $45 cash at the box office — and they do not take cards at the door.
That is the detail most likely to ruin an evening. If a time slot has tickets left they are sold cash only at the window. Bring notes or buy online.
It is timed entry in half-hour slots, capped, and the operator states plainly that it tends to sell out. Your ticket time is your arrival time, not a promise of immediate entry — on busy nights you will still queue.
There are no group, VIP or Fright Pass discounts this year. The operator says so directly, which is worth knowing if you are organising a group and looking for the rate that used to exist.
Where it is
12 Simon Street, Nashua, NH 03060. Off Route 3, the Everett Turnpike, at exit 5A — right onto Simon Street and it is 200 yards on the right.
About fifty minutes from Boston, which makes it the nearest confirmed major haunt to the city while Massachusetts venues remain undated.
What you are getting
Four attractions in an industrial building, and an intensity level that is genuinely not for children. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from a daytime corn maze — if you are bringing a family, our family-friendly roundup is the page you want.
Why this page exists
Because when this page was written in early August it was almost the only thing in New England you could commit to — and because it got there in July, without being asked.
Spooky World has since published 23 nights, though only inside its booking widget rather than anywhere a reader would find them. Canobie Lake's Screeemfest still says information is coming. Haunted Overload's website returns no readable content. Barrett's is confirmed open but has not published a calendar and contradicts itself on its two special-event dates.
Fright Kingdom published everything, in plain text, in July. That deserves saying.
The Haunted Almanac
We check all 50 New England haunted attractions against their own websites, every week. 25 have published 2026 dates so far. Last sweep: September 15.
The ones that matter never announce. Spooky World published twenty-three nights and put them nowhere but its ticket widget; Scary Acres rebuilt its whole site in nine days without a word. We find those and send them to you. Free, and one click gets you out.
