Visit Markoff's Haunted Forest
What to Expect
A casual, members-only social night out. No meetings, no slides, just the chapter enjoying a properly spooky DMV tradition together. We'll gather in the parking lot at 6:30 to say hello before heading in as a group around 7.
Markoff's includes The Trail (the long haunted walk through the woods), The Town (an up-close, high-intensity haunt), and the Midway, with food, drinks, games, and a DJ if you'd rather skip the scares and just hang out.
Tickets — On Sale Now
Buy the Combo ticket — it includes both the Trail (the walk through the haunted forest) and the Town (the wagon-ride attraction), so you get the full night. Markoff's dynamic pricing puts October 23 in their $80 Combo tier ($50 Trail / $35 Town, for reference).
Tickets are live. Select the 7:00 PM entry time at checkout — that's the slot the chapter is grouping up for. Buy a few minutes early if you can, so we can all meet up around 6:30–6:45 PM and head in together right at 7. Bring your ticket on your phone or printed, and complete the emailed waiver before arriving. Tickets are purchased directly through Markoff's.
Two steps, both needed: (1) buy your ticket from Markoff's, and (2) click RSVP Free on this page so we know you're coming. The chapter RSVP is free, but it is not a ticket. Markoff's won't let you in without one.
