What to see at Six Flags México's 2026 Festival of Terror

Halloween is still some time away, but Six Flags México has already opened its 2026 Festival of Terror. The event's 14th edition brings two new haunted houses, new scare zones and shows across the park.

The headline additions are “The Strangers No Escape” and “Jason Blood Reign.” The first takes its theme from the film “The Strangers,” while the second puts the iconic Jason Voorhees on a mission to hunt visitors. Two new scare zones, “Twisted Clowns” in Villa Hollywood and “Ghost Town” in Pueblo Vaquero, add more roaming characters and themed encounters.

Before sunset, the “Cortejo Siniestro” parade travels from Villa Hollywood to Pueblo Vaquero. This year, a witch appears in a float when the procession reaches the area in front of the Versailles Stage. Through a spell, she summons the festival's monsters and evil spirits.

The new Dracula Castle appears in Pueblo Polynesian, with vampire-themed lemon decorations created in collaboration with Flying Fish beer. Halloween is not the only inspiration. “Catrinas y Alebrijes” features giant figures, while “Magia de Vivir,” starring magician Javy Poker, combines magic, immersive projections, nostalgia and comedy.

The festival has eight haunted houses in total. Six return from last year: “Widows,” “Rancho Masacre,” “Killer Clowns,” “Criptas,” “Cinema Slasher” and “The Conjuring Universe.” The main show, “Cirque du Grotesque,” features dancing monsters and three circus acts. At the Versailles Stage, “Rock & Fear” brings bands performing emblematic rock songs. During the day, children can visit “Kids Boo Fest” in Bugs Bunny Boomtown.
