HalloWeekends is an annual Halloween event at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.

As of 2021, HalloWeekends features 11 haunted houses and nighttime scare zones,[1] and there are several children's attractions.

It has since grown to be held on Thursday Nights, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during seven weekends in September and October.

[1] The park is decorated with 1,735 bales of hay, 28,800 cornstalks, 23,000 pounds of pumpkins and other Halloween related items.

Guests could travel on the Cedar Point Spooky Express through haunted lagoons and graveyards.

Screamworks replaced Fright Zone and Blood on the Bayou was added along the lagoons under Iron Dragon.

[29][30] For the 2013 event, Cedar Point introduced Zombie High School, which replaced Club Blood at the front of the park.

There was Deprivation: No Way Out (which replaced Eden Musee), a complete blackout house with 3 different mazes inside with the intention of playing on your senses, Fearground Freakshow (which replaced Eternity Infirmary), a big top house filled with undead carnies and other oddities, and the brand new Harvest Fear, an outdoor zone festival that becomes haunted when night falls.

Halloweekends was closed for the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the park deemed it unsafe since the social distancing guidelines would make the houses and zones difficult to operate.

[38][39] However, Halloweekends opened back up in 2021 with new hours on Thursdays in October and a brand new scare zone named Banished which ends up replacing the former Trail of the Forsaken.

[40] Blood on the Bayou was also moved from the lagoons under Iron Dragon to Adventure Island from this season onwards as well.

[43][44] The outdoor attractions are run by the HalloWeekends' Screamsters, a group of Cedar Point staff members who are commanded to scare visitors by The Overlord when night falls.

Knott's Scary Farm's very own Sarah "The Green Witch" Morgan-Marshall took over HalloWeekends as their new and first female leader of the Screamsters in 2014.

[46][47] As of 2023[update], HalloWeekends features 9 attractions, including four scare zones and four haunted houses.

[1] The outdoor attractions are Blood on the Bayou, Cut Throat Cove, Tombstone Terror-tory, and CornStalkers 2.0.

The indoor attractions are The Haunting of Eerie Estate, Bloodbath, Slaughter House and Fearground Freakshow.

They also announced that they would be teaming up with special effects artist, Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Till Dawn) as well as director Gary Jones (Axe Giant) and Face Off contestants, Beki Ingram and David Greathouse.

"[51] This production would be the final show to run in the Goodtime Theater which was torn down shortly after to make way for park expansion.

The album featured songs that had been heavily used at HalloWeekends over the previous 25 years as well as new music from the Midnight Hour show.
