Pope's Haunted Farm

Pope's Haunted Farm at 450 Bassett Rd in Salem, Alabama, is a Halloween haunt built on three attractions. The Haunted Barn, The Collector, holds antique dolls, an old autopsy room, coffins, and gremlins. The Forest, Unhinged, puts feral figures, illusions, and chainsaws in the dark. The Hayride, Phobia, crosses a cornfield of scarecrows, then an old graveyard, Clown Town, and Zombieland. Tickets can cover one, two, or all three. The whole night is outdoors, so heavy rain pauses the show and it starts again after. Saturdays near Halloween are the busiest, with the longest waits.

Our take: Skip the Saturdays near Halloween if you want shorter waits, since those are the busiest nights.
