The owners and creative team behind Factory of Terror in Canton, Ohio called on Needs More Fog to share an update and behind the scenes look at their ambitious plans for the 2026 haunt season.

We’re now in our 2nd full year of documenting all phases of construction and operation of this remarkable Halloween destination and look forward to sharing even more videos in the very near future! Over the last two years and across multiple visits, Producer Scott Simmons and Director of Photography Glenn Syska (along with production assistants JJ Byers, Alex Robertson, and Danielle Nicole O’Brien) have documented every aspect of the design, construction, and operation of this massive Halloween attraction located in Canton, Ohio.

This latest preview video, delivered directly to camera by owner John Eslich, offers a sneak peek and updates for the upcoming fall season. Keep watching the Factory of Terror social media pages for even more content from the Needs More Fog team!

Needs More Fog's production schedule for the 2026 Halloween season is nearly full and remaining availability is extremely limited. If you'd like your attraction featured in a professionally produced promotional campaign, contact us today to discuss your project before our remaining production dates are gone.
