TSM Quick Take
Worth it for you?
The 13th Hour Haunted Trail in Corryton, TN is best for teens, adults, and groups looking for a classic haunted corn maze and forest trail experience with legendary monster themes, live actors, and a no-touch scare policy. The event is a single-attraction haunt with a midway area for snacks and simple games, making it a solid seasonal outing for those who want a focused, scare-driven walk-through rather than a multi-house event.
The main drawback is the value for price compared to larger haunts, especially since there are no combo passes or additional attractions, and the outdoor setting means weather and muddy parking can be issues. Families with very young children or those needing accessible paths should use caution, and visitors should confirm current details and pricing on the official site before planning.

About THE 13TH HOUR
Looking for serious scares in Corryton? The 13th Hour transforms an ordinary cornfield into a nerve-wracking haunted trail that keeps locals coming back each Halloween season. The haunted house experience winds through towering corn stalks, where dedicated scare actors emerge from the shadows with impressive timing and theatrical commitment to their roles.
What sets this haunt apart is its use of the natural cornfield setting - the rustling leaves and moonlit paths create an authentically creepy atmosphere that no indoor attraction can match. The actors clearly take pride in their performances, developing distinct characters and targeting different fears throughout the trail.
While the quality of props and effects varies between seasons, the enthusiasm of the performers consistently delivers genuine scares. The trail typically takes 20-30 minutes to complete, though timing can vary based on how quickly your group moves through. One tip: try to maintain some distance from other groups - the experience is most effective when you're not bunched up with other visitors.
For the best experience, wear closed-toe shoes you don't mind getting muddy, and dress for the weather since the entire trail is outdoors. The cornfield terrain can be uneven, so watch your step in the darker sections. Like most seasonal haunts, The 13th Hour typically operates on weekend nights throughout October, with extended hours closer to Halloween.
Keep in mind that this is a genuine haunted attraction designed to frighten - while it's great fun for thrill-seekers and horror fans, it may be too intense for young children or those who scare easily.
