Stocker Farms Field of Screams is a seasonal outdoor haunted attraction located in historic Snohomish Washington, just 30 minutes from Seattle! Come on out and walk through one acre of weaving corn paths packed with live actors, scenes, sound and much much more. We are an outdoor haunt, so please be prepared for Seattle weather! (fog, cold, mud, wind) Unless there is extreme rain or lightning, we will be open. Please check the website for closures prior to arriving if inclement weather is reported.
The LegendListen to an actual account of the legend:
Before the Stocker family owned the cornfields, it belonged to the eccentric Slasher family. The family raised livestock, grew corn, and even owned a mortuary. The Slashers kept to themselves; many considered them anti-social...some say twisted.
After the first World War, the city found the Slasher fields fallow. In a bold move, the city of Snohomish offered the Slasher property to McFalin’s Traveling Carnival and Sideshow of Human Oddities.
The Carnival delighted the townspeople; an entertaining distraction after the great World War and terrible city fires. Furious with the loss of their land, the Slashers did their best to scare off Carnival customers and intimidate the sideshow employees. The feud raged on for years, until the great Carnival of Carnage in 1923.
We've seen the evidence and we welcome you to our cornfield to explore the Slasher’s decrepit homestead, pass through the swamp and slip into the remains of McFalin's big tent. Perhaps you’d like to snack at the Slasher’s butcher shop and BBQ? Step backwards in time and you may even see evidence of the fire that consumed most of McFalin’s Traveling Carnival and Sideshow of Human Oddities. Some say the feud between the Carnies and the Slashers remains to this day!
