Dark Hollow Haunted Forest is an outdoor haunted attraction during the popular Halloween season. This theatrical production is designed to scare and entertain guests. Concessions are available on site. While waiting in line, guests enjoy classic horror movie clips and original films at the retrothemed “Blue Moonlight Drive-In.” Parking is free. Security staff, in conjunction with the Kent Police Department, monitor the trail. For younger children and those more “tender” at heart, there is the less-scary family walk.

The event is hosted and produced by the Royal Arch Park. Proceeds benefit local youth groups including the local Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star, DeMolay and the DeMolay Sorority, Rainbow for Girls, Job’s Daughters, Scouting Explorer and Venture crews, Tahoma High School’s Bear Metal Robotics, and a variety of other youth and sporting groups.

This event is designed and directed by Valour Designs, a haunted attraction and media creative team led by Tavares since 1998. This is the event’s fifth season.
