Haunted Overload, New Hampshire
Haunted Overload is simply one of the most creative and unique haunted attractions in New England. Now located on the 78 acre Coppal House Farm on Route 155 in Lee NH. The show was voted one of the top 13 haunted attractions in the country when it was still a charity home haunt in Exeter NH.
Focusing on quality, we are committed to giving the customer the ultimate Halloween experience at an affordable price. Nowhere else can you see huge monsters looming over the crowd, some as tall as 34 feet. The authentic farm location provides the perfect backdrop for the hundreds of lighted pumpkins and movie quality sets. Most of the one of a kind props are designed and created by founder Eric Lowther.
The haunt is changed and expanded each year to give the patron something new and exciting to experience. The night time haunt, while artistically done is extremely scary and parental discretion is advised for younger or sensitive children. We are also open many days during daylight hours with no actors for the whole family to enjoy the stunning detail of the haunt at their own pace. Check the schedule page for dates and times of the daylight walkthroughs.
Each event will be held rain, snow, sleet or any other New England weather condition so please dress appropriately.
We are still committed to helping the NHSPCA. There will be a display and donation box at the end of the haunt for those of you who wish to help the cause.
Don't forget to visit the farm's 6 acre corn maze for another kind of fall time amusement.
From all of us at Haunted Overload and Coppal House Farm have a safe and frightful Halloween season. We hope to see you here!
