If you’re afraid of the dark, you might as well just move on now. If not, I guess you could say this is kind of cool…

Elitch Gardens in Denver is doing something new this Halloween season, and it isn’t for the faint of heart. “The Pine Box Challenge” will see five fearless participants lying still in a coffin for an entire day, facing sinister challenges designed to push their boundaries of fear to the extreme.

The event will begin at 5:30pm on Saturday, October 5, and end at 5:30pm on Sunday, October 6.

Those who survive until the end will receive TWO Elitch Gardens 2025 Season Passes, TWO 2025 Premium Dining Plans, TWO 2024 Fright Fest X-Scream + Admission passes and eternal bragging rights! ($890 value)

Think you have what it takes? Submit a short, written essay detailing why you should be among the chosen few. Applications must be submitted by September 27, 2024. Selected participants will be notified on September 30, 2024. Apply here.
