Those of you who live for the thrill need to add these corn mazes to your list.

We've searched for the spookiest corn mazes across the country that aren't for the faint-hearted. See seven of them ahead — if you dare.

Field of Screams (Meridian, ID)

Heap's Haunted Corn Maze (Minooka, IL)

They call him "The Shredder," the farm's previous owner who went mad and started shredding all of his belongings.
