Photos: Knott’s Scary Farm rolls out Black Carpet for Hollywood celebrity premiere

Hollywood actors and actresses from “The Exorcist,” “American Horror Story,” “Insidious,” “Haunted Mansion” and some of the biggest horror and supernatural film and TV franchises came out for the “Black Carpet” celebrity premiere of Knott’s Scary Farm.

Knott’s Berry Farm hosted Hollywood stars on Saturday, Sept. 23 during the opening weekend kick off of the Buena Park theme park’s 50th anniversary of the annual Halloween event.

Knott’s Scary Farm runs on select dates through Oct. 31 with 10 haunted mazes, five scare zones and four live shows.

The Knott’s Black Carpet event tears a page from the playbook of Universal Studios Hollywood — which has been hosting red carpet premieres for its rival Halloween Horror Nights for years.

Stars from some of the best-known horror franchises came out for the Knott’s Scary Farm launch party — including Violet McGraw (“M3gan” and “The Haunting of Hill House”), Olivia Marcum (“The Exorcist: Believer”), Nico Greetham (“American Horror Story”), Jessica Rothe (“Happy Death Day”), David Dastmalchian (“The Boogeyman”) and Ty Simpkins (“Insidious”).

The biggest bold-face name on the Knott’s Black Carpet was likely “Haunted Mansion” actress Tiffany Haddish — who rocked a denim overcoat over jeans and a crop top with glitter blue and green Converse hightops.

A host of young Hollywood actresses braved the fright fest — including Haley Lu Richardson (“White Lotus”), Madison Iseman (“Jumanji”), Kaitlyn Dever (“Dopesick”), Olivia Holt (“Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger”), Nia Sondaya (“Yellowjackets”) and Ruby Cruz (“Willow”).

Also walking the Knott’s Black Carpet were musicians (Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, The Linda Lindas), drag performers (Gottmik, The Boulet Brothers) and athletes (NBA All-Star Baron Davis) who dared to venture into the fog of Calico Ghost Town.
