Nightmare Hollow Presents
The Ruins
Opening September 26th 2025
About the Ruins
Where wicked stories gather, prying open fearful eyes. Where myths and legends linger long after the body dies. There’s a touch of evil in the wind and in the memory that follows the dark and fevered nightmares that live down in the Hollow

Faqs
The Hollow is at its scariest when it’s dark outside. Because fall hours change, we open every operating day a “little past sunset” so that you will be fully immersed in the dark vibes. We encourage you to plan your Compton Bell farms visit to enter the Hollow after the last light has drained from the Autumn sky. Our closing hours are 11pm on Fri & Sat. 10 pm on Sunday.
Additional days and their closing times are on the Calendar.
We want everyone to have an exciting experience in the Hollow. Our staff is trained to admit groups of guests in numbers that aren’t too small to spoil the entertainment and not too large to cause safety concerns. We want you to have the best time possible and we endeavor to make our show worth any short wait on busy nights.
No. All our monsters are professional. They will not touch you. They will only observe while you scream.
The Hollow is dark and scary. We don’t recommend it for young inexperienced children. We understand that many families will come out for a first experience so please let our staff know before you enter and we can provide you with assistance to help lessen the scares for the little ones.
Kids under 12 must enter with an adult.
Our monsters keep their killing floor neat and tidy; there are no obstructions. But this is an outdoor trail. This event location may not be appropriate for those who suspect that they may have difficulty on the uneven ground of a rural setting.
You should expect to encounter dramatic lighting and effects that enhance the atmosphere. Our fog effects will always be in well-ventilated areas. There are no strobing effects in our show for 2025.
