No scaredy-cats are allowed to set foot in the three haunted attractions of Boone Hall’s Fright Nights, which returns for its 15th year of scream-inducing special effects, elaborate sets, and gory costumes. If you dare, check into Fallen Oaks Hotel, tour the anarchy at Tiny’s Toy Factory, or go behind the scenes of popular horror movies on a hayride, but watch out as the characters just might come to life. Looking for more family-friendly Halloween offerings? Visit the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch for a fall festival atmosphere featuring a corn maze and a much tamer hayride. Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens, 2434 N. Hwy. 17. Fridays & Saturdays, select Thursdays, & Sundays, 6:30 p.m. $55-$35 for all three attractions. (843) 844-4371, www.boonehallfrightnights.com
