“Step into the realm of all things Haunt within the highly immersive and meticulously curated Legacy Haunt Store and Museum honoring the 50th Anniversary of Knott’s Scary Farm. Located, and accessible from the Knott’s Marketplace, you don’t need a ticket to experience this incredible nod to haunts past and present! From the moment you step through the door, I promise you will lose all sense of the outside world. Dare to enter?

If you are any level of haunt fan, the following names and their contributions to the haunt industry will definitely be familiar to you. Jon Cooke, Ray Zupp and Ted Dougherty were the minds behind this one of a kind attraction. From conception to the final installation, this mixed use space was created using the same techniques just as those used in building a maze, the store is brilliantly divided into areas themed after signature Scary Farm elements.

As you enter the store, you’ll come face to face with all things Green Witch including the iconic staircase from Trick Or Treat. Feel free to take pictures as this is just one of many photo opportunities you will experience. This is also where you will find the first of several Interactive Lantern opportunities scattered throughout the store. Passing into the main room cloaked in darkness by ominous trees, you’ll find merchandise recessed beneath the earth covered alcoves. Take time to look up and pay homage to some of the builders' favorite haunts as they line the rooms perimeter in the form headstones.

As you walk deeper into the store, you’ll find further references to Ghost Town Streets, Carnevil and a lair with a pair of special photo opportunities.

With many iconic characters and props, Elvira and Seymour were two figures that are, and will forever be, synonymous with the haunt for their unique contributions. With her trademark red velvet settee, deep plunging dress and wig, Elvira claims the attention of every visitor to the museum section of the store.” [Catheryn Cervantes, Review]
