Halloween Event Haunted Trail Athens GA

2025 Haunted Trail Theme

Thirteen years ago, Zombie Farms began as a zombie preserve.  But it hasn't been smooth sailing! We have battled government entities who sought to control us, witches who craved revenge, ghosts who are never at rest and a chaotic of mix other creatures who wished to inhabit our farm from vampires and werewolves to fiends, hoodlums and demons.

This year we dive into the history of Camp Smiley.  The summer camp with a sinister background that affected a boy named Simon forever, revealing the evil inside him, something we call DEAD SMILE.
