When Is Dead Man's Farm Open and How Can I Get Tickets?

Updated

Dead Man's Farm Haunted Attraction runs Friday, October 3 through Saturday, November 1, just outside Knoxville in Philadelphia, TN. Tickets are on sale now through the official website, and because haunted attractions typically operate only on select nights rather than every day in that window, you should confirm the specific dates and time slots on the Tickets page before you plan your trip.

Season Dates and Operating Window

The website's featured banner states the season runs Fri 10/3 – Sat 11/1. That is the full span of the event, not a guarantee that the gates open every night in between.

  • Season opener: Friday, October 3
  • Season closer: Saturday, November 1
  • Location: 13100 W Lee Hwy, Philadelphia, TN 37846

Because the published range covers about a month, treat it as the outer boundary. Individual operating nights, opening times, and last-entry cutoffs are set per date and are listed on the ticketing page.

How to Get Tickets

  1. Go to the official site at deadmansfarm.com.
  2. Open the Tickets page (the homepage also shows a "TICKETS ON SALE NOW!" banner and a Buy Tickets button).
  3. Pick your date and time slot, then complete checkout.
  4. Save your confirmation and bring it with you — most haunts scan a digital or printed ticket at the gate.

Buying in advance matters here for two reasons: popular October weekends sell out, and the site's own messaging pushes advance purchase rather than walk-up sales. If a date you want is unavailable, check adjacent nights before assuming the season is closed.

What to Confirm Before You Go

The homepage promotes the season broadly, so verify these details on the Tickets page or by contacting the farm directly:

  • Exact open nights within the 10/3–11/1 window
  • Opening and closing times, including the last entry time
  • Ticket tiers or add-ons (for example, if separate tickets apply to different attractions)
  • Any age or intensity advisories

Attractions Included in a Visit

Your ticket gets you into an attraction lineup that the site groups under Attractions & More:

  • Bludgeon Haunted House — indoor walk-through with jump scares and gore
  • Lost Souls Haunted Trail — outdoor trail mixing suspense with dark humor
  • The Midway Escape Games and Midway Carnival Games
  • Extras: The Haunted Pumpkin Gift Shop, food trucks, communal midway bonfires, and special events throughout the season

A visitor review on the site describes attending during Classic Horror Night, one of the themed special events, and notes the farm balances "traditional scares, interactive fun, and a lively atmosphere." If a themed night matters to you, check the special events schedule alongside your ticket date.

Quick Checklist

  • Confirm your specific night on the Tickets page — don't assume every date in the 10/3–11/1 range is open.
  • Buy in advance.
  • Bring $5 cash for parking.
  • Text rather than call if you need a fast answer: (865) 408-8527.
