‘Fright for Future’ haunted maze to highlight issues like animal testing, pollution

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A Halloween attraction intended to be both frightful and educational is making its return to San Diego for its third year.

Fright for Future is a haunted maze that takes guests through installations centered on different types of issues like air pollution, fast fashion and deforestation among others. The attraction is free, although tickets can be reserved here .

The maze was listed No. 1 in a list of last year’s scariest haunted experiences by The San Diego Union-Tribune. The description on the UT stated, “Each activation was decorated with gory and frightening images and sounds, like a butcher shop section that showed animals being slaughtered and mutilated for human consumption.”

Examples for this year’s exhibits include the “ Mad Scientist ,” a look at the procedures of animal testing; “ The Circus ,” which highlights animals in the entertainment industry and “ Witch’s Cauldron ,” which educates people about ingredients used in cosmetics such as whale vomit and cow or sheep fat.

The “Fright for Future” is open this Friday between 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This attraction is suitable for ages 10 and up, according to event organizers.
