What Should Be the 2022 'Fright at the Fort' Theme?

What will be lurking in the dark passageways of Fort Knox, for Fright at the Fort? You decide.

Fright at the Fort will return this October. The announcement was made this week that the annual spooky attraction at Fort Knox is returning this year. Now organizers are looking for input for this year's theme. Past themes include nuclear disaster, zombies, creepy clowns, and even Stephen King inspired horrors.

According to Fort Knox, through April 30 Fright fans are encouraged to comment theme ideas on their Facebook post. The post is embedded into this article, above. Click through to leave a comment.

Last year the annual Halloween attraction was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. It was second year in a row the annual event had been canceled. 2020 was the first time the event was canceled since it began more than 20 years ago.

The three weekend event is Fort Knox's biggest annual fundraiser. Roughly 10,000 visitors visit the spooky attraction each year. The 2018 Stephen King theme brought in a record setting 15,050 visitors over the five Fright nights.

Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Observatory will open for the season May 1.

Take A Forbidden Look Inside Frozen Fort Knox

Fort Knox is closed for the season. While winter visitors can roam the grounds, the interior of the fort is closed off from the general public. If you browse through the photos below, you'll see why the fort is strictly off-limits until spring. That being said, we were given permission to enter the fort to create this gallery.

Again, the fort is closed from November through April. Do not attempt to enter the interior of Fort Knox. Entering the fort during the closed months is trespassing, and very dangerous.
