About
The Harvest of Horrors is probably the only group in the country that each year combines an original stage show with a haunted attraction. Currently in its thirtieth year, The Harvest of Horrors is the longest continuously-running haunted attraction in southeastern New England.
Permanently located on Tony Andrews Farm in East Falmouth, the Harvest of Horrors continues to entertain audiences with its unique mixture of action and dark humor in an eerie, live stage show in the “Theatre Macabre”. After seeing the stage show, the audience enters “Nye Manor”, a multi-level haunted house, with the only escape available through dark, winding passageways. Audiences thrill to encounter exhibits containing horrible monsters and other frightening scenarios (all in good fun, naturally), on their way to the exit.
Harvest of Horrors is delighted to be making its tenth appearance in East Falmouth. Since its inception in 1979, the production has appeared in various locations around the Cape, including Centerville, Hyannis, and North Falmouth, helping to raise funds for groups such as the March of Dimes and The Cape Cod Children’s Museum
