After last year’s slam-dunk success with Frightmare Forest, Allan Hancock College men’s basketball program is preparing to scare and delight the community with the return of the haunted maze.

The three-acre eerie labyrinth will be 7-10 p.m. Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 31 at Hancock’s basketball and softball complex, adjacent to the college’s vineyard, 800 S. College Drive, Santa Maria.

The event also serves as a fundraiser for the men’s basketball program.

Maze runners will navigate their way through an entanglement of tricks and spooky surprises. Attendees are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes.

“We’re excited to bring Frightmare Forest back again this year,” said Coach Tyson Aye. “We had a great turnout last year from the community and we’re happy to get back to building a tradition where kids of all ages, their friends, and their families could come to experience a good old-fashioned scare.”

Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased on-site or online at ahcbulldogs.com/ticketing. Free parking and the entrance to the maze are at the baseball and softball complex.
