Already scooped up your tickets for The Haunted Road? Thinking about grabbing tickets but still on the fence because you’re just a big ol’ scaredy cat? A new sneak peek at the Orlando drive-thru haunted attraction gives you some idea of what you can expect if you visit The Haunted Road from Sept. 25 to Nov. 7.

A short video posted on The Haunted Road’s Facebook page teases the fear you’ll feel at the wheel when you visit the new drive-thru Halloween experience. It’s just a brief taste, of course — they wouldn’t want to tip their hand too much — but it’s just the right amount of flavor to let you know what you’ll be in for if you buy the ticket and take the ride.
The Haunted Road takes classic fairy tales and twists them into something far more frightening than the Brothers Grimm could have imagined. The preview video shows off a couple of the characters teased in early images, including the Big Bad Wolf. Seemingly the main monster at The Haunted Road, this Big Bad Wolf is essentially a shredded dude in a gas mask with a wolf schnoz painted on it. He’s got the feral mannerisms down, so you can expect to see him wilding out in a set piece or two.
You also see a pair of doll-masked creepos standing ominously in the red brake lights of the vehicle. You can only assume that this is The Haunted Road’s spookified version of Hansel and Gretel. Whoever this duo is, they fulfill the minimum creepy kid quota for haunted attractions.
Also seen briefly in the video is the star of the show, Rapunzel. She’s the blur that runs past the vehicle, seemingly fleeing her lupine pursuer. The Haunted Road also posted a nice, stationary photo of Rapunzel with conspicuously short locks. Perhaps her more practical ’do is part of the story?
