Psycho Path is Back with More Frights Than Ever
The temperature is dropping, leaves are crunching and the smell of pumpkin spice is in the air, which means Psycho Path is back
This isn’t our first time at the hugely popular scare park at Lintz Hall Farm so we enter with an air of confidence, only to have it knocked out of us immediately as we find ourselves in darkness with a looming figure walking towards us and nowhere to go but forwards… and that’s before we even enter the main event space.
Once we catch our breath it’s time to check out the new and improved attractions. First, some tactical decisions are made. My partner is still having flashbacks from the tight spaces in Crawl Space, and we’re told the experience is longer and even more petrifying this year – so it’s a no from us. We also swerve Isolation. I simply can’t face going it alone this year!
Having missed last year’s new additions, we head straight for Psychotorium and become prisoners for the night, donning orange boiler suits, and (for the first time) a lanyard activates hidden cameras throughout the experience. From a prison bunkbed to a sinister church and being trapped in a tiny black-dark space then electrocuted in chairs, there’s nothing more chilling than being made to lie in a giant drawer under a morgue, where the only way out is to crawl through a tunnel… so much for avoiding tight spaces!
Having escaped jail, and with 2026 marking the final year of Psycho City, we head inside the apocalyptic experience one last time and discover it’s longer and even more frightening than ever. Then we’re off to Vandalised to be locked in darkness for a terrifying ride in the back of a van – just how any horror fan wants to spend their Saturday night. If you’re not scared of the dark, it’s also well worth braving The Darkness, where you have to rely on your other senses, and each other, to make it out alive.
It’s time for the Doll House and an opportunity to play dress up with Barbie and Ken whilst avoiding jump scares at every corner in order to leave in one piece – but covered in face paint. Top tip: get your photos taken before entering… ours aren’t exactly Instagram-worthy.
Time for a break, and if we’ve learned anything from previous visits to Psycho Path, you’re not safe even if you’re outside of the attractions. This year’s stage shows (from magic to fire and everything in between) take place in the ‘Neurotica Hospital’ and they’re well worth sticking around for, but watch your back for The Nun, Art the Clown and The Dominatrix (who had eyes for many of the men in the room, including my partner much to his dismay).
Following some Dutch courage, it’s back to the attractions and the opportunity to get lost in Psycho Path’s first-ever virtual reality experience which get a big thumbs up (and an even bigger jump) from my partner. We can only face one more fright before the final show so we head for an old faithful – iScream. If you’re confident you know your way around this clown maze by now, think again. It’s bigger and more confusing than ever – try not to get lost or you will get caught.
Even the final show has upped its game with horror-themed dance routines and more characters than ever, including our absolute favourites – Beetlejuice and Wednesday Addams.
That’s enough for one night, but we’ll be back to brave the brand-new Flightpath 666 when it opens soon…
