Salem's lakeside screams, for less
Screeemfest runs Friday to Sunday through Oct 31: Fridays 5pm to 11pm, Saturdays 3pm to 11pm, Sundays 1pm to 9pm. The park is closed Monday to Thursday.
Admission is sold online only, in advance. A date-specific Sunday Screeemfest ticket is $55 online, and parking is always free.
Grab a QR code at Market Basket or a participating McDonald's and that Sunday ticket drops to $50. 2027 season passes are on sale now and include this year's Screeemfest.
Canobie doesn't run public promo codes. These are the real ways to pay less this fall, and parking costs you nothing either way.
Ask at a local Market Basket customer service desk, or stop at a participating McDonald's, for the QR code. Scan it and the $55 online Sunday ticket is $50.

My take: buy on Canobie's site, and grab the QR code on your next grocery run if you're going on a Sunday.– John
Coupon sites list "65% off" Canobie codes. We found nothing behind them. The real discounts are the QR codes and the ones on the park's specials page.

Here's what we can pin down for a Screeemfest Sunday for a family of four.
No. Outside food, picnic lunches, drinks, coolers, lawn chairs and glass aren't allowed in the park. You can eat in your car, and a hand stamp gets you back in the same day. No grilling in the lot.
Six haunted houses: Slaughter Camp, Terrorform, Carnivus 2, Cargo, Pinecrest Sanitarium and Haven, plus the rides at night. Costumes and makeup aren't allowed. Sundays are the park's family days, open 1pm to 9pm.
The summer water area, with Tidal River, River Slides, Rain Fortress and Lil' Squirts Lagoon. It's included with admission when it's open.
Pick up the QR code with your groceries. Four Sunday tickets drop from $220 to $200.– John
Go on a Sunday. It's the family day, and it's the only day the $5 QR-code discount works.
Buy Screeem Express online for $35. On a Saturday at the park it's $50.
Buying a 2027 pass now gets you the rest of this year's Screeemfest too. Platinum if you want Saturdays.
