It's Halfway to Halloween, so a bunch of us ScareActors commemorated the time with a family reunion meetup at Knott's in anticipation.
I am in one of the "Behind the Masks" interviews at the 25:43 mark here:

I'm setting the tone for this new year by encouraging you all to be a Human Art Supporter. Here is a commission to @thxnywy.art for uniquely depicting my character, "Shackles," who performs at Knott's Scary Farm during the Halloween season. Love this!
#Artsky #Neon #ScareActor #ScaryFarm #FuckGenAI
An advertisement-like collage featuring a plush toy doll representing a truly sad in every sense of the word old medieval prisoner with scraggly long greying hair and long grey beard made of fabric floss, wearing tattered felt rags and shackles that are linked with stainless steel metal jewelry chain and festooned with little bells. There are two images of this doll, one that wears a set of stocks made of craft foam, and the other with an accompanying excitable speech balloon exclaiming "Help Me!!" The ad copy features blocks of words that say "Shackles the Prisoner" as the main title at the top, alongside a logo for the ScareZone "The Gauntlet" with the word "Toys" just beneath it. Scattered throughout the page are paragraphs that read: "Oh, Silly Shackles, thinking anyone will ever help him!' "It's hours of fun to torment this pathetic wretch! All of Helshire now officially had someone to look down upon!" "He's a mess!" "Fun for all ages!" "Set of stocks sold separately! Collect all the residents of Helshire!"
Tonight! It's the last night of Knott's Scary Farm for 2025, and the last chance this year to see my character, "Shackles" the Prisoner, shamble about the Gauntlet ScareZone.
May you all have had a Spooky Season that was kind to you.

Nighttime exterior photograph by Chris Cornish of a profile view of an old man with a long grey beard and scraggly long hair dressed in tattered clothing with his neck and wrists locked in a pillory that is festooned with rusty iron spikes, wax candles, and parchment strips adhered by wax seals.
It is always an honor to be included in the portfolio of photographer Chris Cornish when he documents the ScareActors at Knott's Scary Farm. His pictures really communicate the energy of the event.

Portrait rendering using watercolor, pastel, and marker on Kraft paper depicting a scraggly old bearded man locked in an elaborate pillory festooned with spikes, candles, and parchment strips adhered by wax seals. The hue is keyed green to match the lighting of the ScareZone in which the ScareActor performs.

Here it is! maxxer242 took a brief break from Metallica, Universal Monsters & his prolific murals to get scary and create a very special piece of two Haunt icons for our 4th Annual Parks and Cons Crew Scary Farm Night! #ScaryFarm
An atmospheric black+white illustration by Justin McElroy of an emaciated, long-beaded tortured medieval prisoner stumbling about in chains and a heavy wooden set of stocks upon which perches a plump crow, silhouetted against a full moon, caws in either sympathy or as a harbinger of doom.

This #SpookySeason I commissioned Justin McElroy [@thoughtographic.bsky.social] to do a portrait of my #ScaryFarm character "'Shackles' the Prisoner."
I love how his linework evokes a Scholastic Book Fair gem of a Horror Anthology for kids, one I would peruse, gasp at, run from, & ultimately buy.
UPDATE: All the 8x10 prints of "The Conductor" are now sold out! Unprecedented! Thanks to all of you who purchased them. I hope to be included in the 2026 "Into the Fog" Gallery Show, so please be on the lookout next year for any announcements.

I hate it when my human face just doesn't want to let go.

Thank you so much! I just hope that whoever purchased the original painting will hit it with a blacklight so that the UV-reactive colors and Glow-in-the-Dark traintrack frame border really get illuminated. (Secret Detail: the eye pupils of the Conductor also glow in the dark!)

I really hate to say this, but the only thing that deserved the rope in this year's #ScaryFarm Hanging show... was the script. 😬

Closer look at the full bit that features the Walt Disney animatronic in this year's The Hanging: There's a New Tariff in Town at Knott's Scary Farm #KnottsScaryFarm #ScaryFarm
A black-and-white panel with NeoVictorian wallpaper is the mounting surface for a Black Velvet painting of an ethereal train conductor. The photograph is framed to show the upper right corner of the entire artwork, which is bordered by a custom frame that features model railroad train tracks painted with glow-in-the-dark paint.
A framed video monitor on a wallpapered panel displays an image of the featured artist (an anxious man with a long grey beard and scraggly brown hair with his neck locked in the lacuna of a guillotine), a thumbnail of his black velvet painting of an ethereal train conductor, the logo for the Knott's Scary Farm "Into the Fog" gallery show, and an Artist's Bio. The Artist's Bio reads: "TROY ZIMMERMANN is a designer specializing in Themed Entertainment Attractions and Concept Design since he was nine. (No, really, there’s proof and everything: he drew up a concept for a "Super Train Testing Center" Thrill Ride back in 1979, based upon a forgotten NBC TV show.) Troy has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and used that practical education to contribute to attractions worldwide, with a broad range of duties creating features that include architectural vocabularies, simulated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphic languages, backstories, storyboards, graphic design and illustrations, docent guides, visitor’s site maps, and merchandise tie-ins. He also performed as a ScareActor for over a decade, first at Halloween Horror Nights and now here at Knott’s Scary Farm. troyzimmermann.com "
Speaking of #KnottsScaryFarm, my Black Velvet painting of "The Conductor" is on display at the #IntoTheFog Gallery Show inside the park. The original just sold! I only want whoever purchased it to know to hit it with a blacklight to really make it pop!
(Non-UV) 8x10 prints still on sale!

Our first Knott’s Scary Farm maze walkthrough is The Zoo Lights Out. A great way to get two different experiences with one maze.

If you're wondering if this year's THE HANGING is just as vulgar as previous years, the show starts off with Pedro Pascal's Mr Fantastic stretching a.... *body part* which then proceeds to a podium to warn that the show may be offensive. Live from Buena Park, it's #ScaryFarm!
Walt Disney animatronic gets a jab in The Hanging: There's a New Tariff in Town, "Stay frozen, Walt" #ScaryFarm #KnottsScaryFarm
When the lights go out at The Zoo, there’s a mini show moment and we’ve captured it here: youtu.be/Q-GukszoxKc?... #ScaryFarm
For those attending Knott’s Scary Farm this year, we highly recommend doing the Boo-Fet as you get 30 min early access to the 4 haunted mazes including the 2 new mazes in (The Zoo, Mary, Widows & Eight Fingers Boogeyman). Buffet starts at $45 👻🎃 #ScaryFarm
