Port Chum | Haunted “Bayride” Official Trailer | Halloween 2023

This is the official trailer for Port Chum, a haunted bay-ride attraction created by Mak Ralston (Haunt Former) for Fearville 2023 at DK Farms and Gardens in the Clearwater/Largo, Florida area. The concept reimagines a traditional haunted hayride as a water-themed experience set in a cursed fishing port where the dead have been cast into supposedly magic waters — with grim results. The trailer establishes a rich original mythology involving reanimated fishermen and mer-maids born from death. It marks a new creative direction for Ralston, a seasoned haunt designer with multiple prior haunted house productions to his credit.
