Folklore Haunted House / Facebook

Location: Acworth, Georgia

“We came from Louisville, Kentucky, on our way to Gainesville. Upon Googling “best haunted house in Georgia,” we were recommended to Folklore Haunted House, and man … we are glad we came! [It was] $27 for three haunts and worth every penny. The detail that went into decorating each area, the craftsmanship in creating a unique environment for each character, and a group of actors who really give their all … this was a great decision! The owner, upon learning we had come down from Waverly Hills, where we work, even came by to say hey. A great crew makes a good haunt unforgettable, and Folklore was certainly that!” —Jay R., Louisville, Kentucky

“This was an awesome haunted house! You definitely get your money’s worth out of the whole experience that lasted about 45 minutes. The costumes were fabulous; the special effects were truly haunting. The makeup on the characters was eerie. At one point, we had to dawn 3-D glasses!!!! Whoever created this haunted house definitely had some really cool nightmares; take your family, take your friends!” — Lona T., Colorado Springs, Colorado

“WOW! I literally just made a Yelp account to write this review. I was blown away, not only by the amazing effects and actors but by the amazing staff! They made the experience so much more fun. We came pretty late and they didn’t at all rush us to leave, and we shared a lot of laughs.

“I’ve been to my fair share of haunted houses, and this one exceeded my expectations. Probably the best in Houston! I 100,000 percent recommend going. Prices are super fair, and the scares are unbeatable. I peed my pants, and I have absolutely no regrets. If you can only visit one haunt this year, please please please go here! Also, it’s a huge bonus that they donate a lot to charity.” —Addison D., Richmond, Texas

“I think I just went to the best haunted house(s) of my life!! #hauntedhayride #asylum — we did it all!! It’s an hour from New Orleans, North of Mandeville — which makes it scary enough (LOL) — but it was amazing and worth the drive. Definitely do all three options if you can (Haunted House, Asylum and the Haunted Hayride).” —Amita R., New Orleans, Louisiana

91. Fear Factory

Fear Factory / Facebook

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah

“Super fun times with options for all! This is a huge closed-down factory turned into a haunted house. Pretty amazing. There were like four to five flights of stairs that anyone with difficulties might want to consider. Quite a few different themes throughout. Really enjoyed the smoky and lighting effects (epileptics beware). At one point, you’re around five stories up on some grates with seethrough floors. Good fun all around.” —Scott H., Salt Lake City, Utah

HellsGate Haunted House / Facebook

Location: Lockport, Illinois

“Loved this place! I went here with a group of friends, and we had a blast. It was very cool walking through the forest to the haunted house. Actors interacted with us and made funny comments. You can tell so much work was put into the facility. I have had many poor haunted house experiences, but HellsGate definitely wasn’t one of them. The detail put into the mansion was unbelievable! The different rooms were very cool and spooky. In my past haunted house experiences, I haven’t gotten scared, but the actors at HellsGate scared me quite a few times. The staff was very friendly and polite to us. I completely recommend HellsGate!” —Vincent F., Illinois

“Awesome! Excellent actors and special effects! So many surprises here! Very well organized. Highly recommend buying your tics online so you won’t have to wait in line at the ticket window. We bought online and were glad we did. In my opinion, it’s the best haunted attraction in the area. Loved the mechanical creatures, theatrical performances of actors and special effects. If you don’t have a lot of time, buy the fast pass. You will be able to get through in just over an hour on a Sunday night.” —Lisa C., Akron, Ohio

A Petrified Forest / Facebook

Location: Altamore Springs, Florida

“Come here every year, and the haunted houses are just so amazing. I’ve been to Halloween Horror Nights so many times, and A Petrified Forest totally beats all of those attractions (in my opinion). The haunted houses are long (five to seven minutes inside), the actors are REALLY good, the special effects are top-notch, and the layout of the houses is just unbeatable. I always end up losing my voice from the amount of screaming I do!” —Jenna L., Orlando, Florida

87. The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park

The Haunted Trail of Balboa Park / Facebook

Location: San Diego, California

“I would 100 percent do this again or recommend to anyone looking for some Halloween fun. It’s scary, won’t lie. I screamed until I lost my voice. It’s about a mile long so it’s about 20 to 30 minutes of going through rooms with different themes, one of which was a real school bus, which I thought was super clever!

The characters don’t touch you but they get pretty close; they can accidentally bump you, but they never touched a single one of us from our group. They send you out through the trail in groups of 20 or so, but it gets bunched up at times; makes sense when people are stopping cause they’re scared.” —Salina A., El Cajon, California

86. Woods of Terror

Woods of Terror / Facebook

Location: Greensboro, North Carolina

“Once you get on the trail, it takes about an hour to walk through! By far the longest haunted trail I have ever been to. There are about six haunted houses, two pitch black mazes and the corn maze. Let me tell you the detail that goes into this thing is pretty extraordinary. The best way to describe it is the Disney World of horror places. They really think of everything. My favorites were the 3-D circus, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house and the multi-horror movie area. The Pirate Ship was pretty awesome as well.” —Holly K., Raleigh, North Carolina

85. Hobb’s Grove Halloween Haunt

Hobb’s Grove Halloween Haunt / Facebook

Location: Sanger, California

“It’s the Disneyland of haunts as far as quality. But it’s seemingly a low-budget transformation. You drive way into the middle of nowhere and park in a dark lot. There’s no grand archway entrance. Just the overall scary environment. They never copy movie stuff. You’ll see no Freddy Kruger here.

The line waits are super long on busy nights, but they have characters working the lines. The actors never come out of character so you’re transformed into another place. Not all line characters are scary — a few are hilarious!” —Stephen M., Fresno, California

“We just survived Pennhurst! My heart is still racing! The owners, operators, staff and actors are amazing, (Especially Frank!) The entire production was completely redone for 2022. If you thought you were scared in years past, you’ll definitely wanna come back this year. It was by far better than I could have ever imagined. I recommend doing all three attractions.” — Christina S., San Francisco, California

83. Howl-O-Scream

Howl-O-Scream / Facebook

Location: Tampa, Florida

“There was barely any line traffic, and the staff did a great job with splitting groups so everyone can get the scares. There is no line traffic at all and theme-wise it’s pretty good! The scare zones are also AMAZING, so interactive and the actors did a really good job. Food and drinks were great, not very hard liquor, but I prefer it that way for theme parks. As for shows, the show with the host of Howl-O-Scream was pretty cheesy and didn’t put much effort into special effects. The best shows to watch are cirque x scream and the rolling bones! And there is a bar with food at the Rolling Bones show! Definitely planning on coming next year!” —Juliet D., Miami, Florida

82. Halloween Horror Nights

Halloween Horror Nights / Facebook

Location: Orlando, Florida

“Halloween Horror Nights is clearly the world-class Halloween theme park event worldwide. Universal Studios has access to classic IP horror properties such as Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Universal Monsters and so much more that rotate every year — the houses for these are extremely detailed and are like you’re walking into the movie/tv sets themselves.” —Frank L., Mount Prospect, Illinois

“If you like haunted houses, Warehouse 31 is a must see! This thing is huge, elaborate and has amazing actors! From the creepy guy that greets you as you enter, the little girl with the Raggedy Ann dolls, the crazy nurse and finally the freak jumping out when you are in the mine, this place was full of jump scares and overall weirdness! They also have cool 3D effects, karaoke, a bar, food trucks, an escape room and more! This is haunted house perfection!” —April R., Homewood, Alabama

80. The Darkness

Larry K. / Yelp

Location: Saint Louis, Missouri

“Is it possible to be addicted to a haunted house?? I think yes! I go here every year, sometimes multiple times. They change it up each year, so it never gets dull. They have fantastic actors that you see from the time you enter the parking lot as well as very high-tech animatronics. Scary Gary and Steve are by far the best. I get a picture with them every year. They also have escape rooms and a little museum and gift shop.” —Gabrielle J., Breckenridge Hills, Missouri

YukYuk the clown was especially friendly and helpful while simultaneously being scary The music, lights, and actors kept us entertained while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive My bf and an alien were “communicating” at one point. It was hilarious…There were a variety of themed walk-throughs that were actually scary and excellently decorated.” —Beth-Leah S., Tennessee

75. The Devils Attic

The Devils Attic / Yelp

Location: Louisville, Kentucky

“This is probably one of the best and well-thought-out haunted houses I’ve been to. From the moment you step out of the car, you begin to be immersed into cinematic horror. While you wait in line, some scare actors are present, getting you into the mood for this haunted attraction. Also, they are projecting some old horror movie clips, as well as some weird unusual clips. This house rolls with the punches one after the other, putting you right in the middle of some of the best and most iconic horror films of all time.” —Abbey B., Lexington, Kentucky

He was entertaining and friendly, and provided a one of kind experience. The tour takes you through all of the common areas, and you even get to test if the spirits are with you (we had an encounter, and it was wild).” —Linsey M.

72. Into the Dark Terror Vault

Annabelle R. / Yelp

Location: San Francisco, California

“Hands-down, no contest the best haunted house I have ever been to. I’ve been here 3 years in a row, and the changes they make every year truly justify coming again and again. The performers all put so much work into their various crafts, you’re always treated with respect, and you really can tell how invested everyone here is in ensuring you have an amazing time. You can opt for a glow necklace that tells performers they’re allowed to touch you — they may grab you or jostle you gently, smell you, even spank you or paint your skin! You can of course opt out, and they’ll always be respectful of that, too. Tickets could cost twice as much as they do, and I’d still jump to buy them every year.” —Kyle W., Fremont, California

71. Milburn’s Haunted Manor

Melissa W. / Yelp

Location: Hubbard, Oregon

“The BEST, most terrifying haunted house that I have been to. Brilliantly conceived with two distinctly different haunts, this experience is well worth the trip from Portland. The drive there set the stage with the site being a very dark, isolated area. As you drive there, you pass a nearby cemetary and, then, you see the parking lot lights…and hear screams.” —Jerald B., Tualatin, Oregon

66. Rotten Manor

Christine L. / Yelp

Location: Holly, Michigan

“My fiancée and I went in Oct ’18 and haven’t forgotten about it since. This place was top-notch, and I’ve been haunting in the Detroit area since I was a little tot in the ’90s.

First, we were floored by the design of the building—done in Gothic style Victorian with the classic tapered Mansard roof. The rickety wood siding gave the house a classic haunted look…Second, the location… The eerie, quaint setting is unsettling on an October night.

Third, the acting is Tony award tier. All the talent inside had a story, accent, or some nuance that really elevated the sense of dread throughout the haunt. There are no cheap thrills here, everything had purpose and built up to a scare.” —William F., Tacoma, Washington

64. The Beast

Beast Haunted House / Yelp

Location: Kansas City, Missouri

“This was absolutely one of the scariest haunted house experiences that I have ever encountered. Carolina haunted houses have nothing on the Kansas City thriller … The Beast! I was very happy to find out that [Missourians] enjoy a nice scare.

First and foremost, I certainly advise you buy your tickets before arriving. The line to get in is incredibly long, and it is very much so worth a few extra bucks to skip all this waiting. I really liked the fact that there were food vendors around on the corners of the streets (food trucks). This helps with the annoying wait time.

But once you get inside, everything changes for the better. The actors working at the haunted house do an excellent job at keeping all of us on edge but without scaring us too badly. I was certainly glad to experience such a wonderfully terrifying experience. The art installations were phenomenal, and designs were very authentic. I would certainly go back next Halloween season!” —Zyven S., San Francisco, California

Top-notch costumes and props. All of the makeup actors were cleverly face masked to not ruin the vibe. From entrance to exit was just over 30 minutes.
