The woods outside of Lafayette are full of things that go bump (and growl, and rawr) in the night. Are you brave enough to wander through them? Find out on the Fright Trail, founded by Literacy Inc., the nonprofit dedicated to fighting the growing illiteracy rate in America's teens. Through twenty miles of deep, dark, haunted woods, wanderers might run into any sort of bump in the night—the creators pull out all the stops for this outdoor open house: props, animatronics, displays, sets, and scare actors galore. How long does it take? (Generally, thirty-five minutes.) How fast can you run? This year, don't miss the Fright Trail's Frights without Lights on October 28 and 29. 

Due to the outdoor nature of the event no open-toed shoes, high heels, or flip-flops; old shoes or boots are recommended. Not recommended for children under eight years of age, children under ten years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Friday and Saturday nights from 7 pm–11 pm (as well as Sunday October 29 and Tuesday October 31). $30 to be paid in cash at the box office. frighttrail.com.
