Naughty! Haunted Trails
Pemberton Haunted Acres’ Naughty & Nice delivers two fully immersive haunted trails packed with live actors, large-scale sets, and plenty of well-timed jump scares.
Hillbilly Mayhem: Holiday Massacre
If you’re craving gore, Hillbilly Mayhem: Holiday Massacre absolutely delivers. This trail is filled with gruesome imagery, bloody props, and unapologetically intense scenes. The performers are incredibly talented, fully committing to their roles and creating squirm-worthy and genuinely disturbing moments throughout the experience.

This maze is also impressively long. It took us roughly 7–8 minutes to complete the full walkthrough, making it a substantial and satisfying haunt for seasoned horror fans.
Village of Misfit Toys
An all-new, all-outdoor trail, the Village of Misfit Toys puts a dark, horror-inspired spin on classic holiday characters. Keep your eyes peeled for abominable snowmen, vengeful nutcrackers, and malicious elves lurking around every corner. Santa Claus has already been kidnapped, and now, they’re coming for you!
This trail strikes a fun balance between festive visuals and spooky surprises, making it a standout addition to the Naughty & Nice lineup.
Naughty! Walkaround Entertainment
Between trail runs, guests can interact with Pemberton’s twisted holiday creatures roaming the event grounds. Whether you’re snapping photos or exchanging a few eerie words, these walkaround scaractors add an extra layer of immersion and personality to the night.
Nice! Holiday Activities & Courtyard Area
If holiday spookiness isn’t entirely your thing, the Nice side of Naughty & Nice offers more traditional Christmas fun. In the courtyard area, guests can enjoy cheerful photo opportunities, classic yard games, and even beloved holiday movies playing throughout the evening.
Freaky Thoughts: Pemberton Haunted Acres’ Naughty & Nice
As a first-time visitor to Pemberton Haunted Acres, I was genuinely impressed by the level of detail and care poured into Hillbilly Mayhem. The sets were both gory and visually stunning, and the actors were deeply immersed, interacting with guests in ways that created memorable scares.
