Massachusetts Top Haunt: Hysteria at Connors Farm

Historical Hysteria!

What makes a haunt a hit? History. And with a location like Danvers, MA – just a short drive from the Witchcraft Victim’s and the Salem Witch Trials Memorials – this haunt delivers on horrifying history. Fans of Hysteria keep coming back year after year and they enthusiastically agree that this attraction only gets bigger and better. For two consecutive years, Hysteria was voted one of the Top 13 Scream Parks in the country and this year promises to live up to the hype. Visitors will experience an array of sights, sounds and smells (eek!) while they explore an actual century’s old farm, including a trip through an authentic 1600’s burial ground and along the murky waters of an actual swamp, making this a location where you’ll definitely want to dress for the environment. Professional grade props and special effects will guarantee a restless night afterwards!

Montana Top Haunt: Field of Screams

Fight your fears in the Field of Screams!

Rated Western Montana’s #1 Haunted Attraction, (and claiming a three year victory as our top pick for Montana!), Field of Screams is celebrating their 18^th year of operation this haunt season! Field of Screams offers a variety of fear inducing attractions, from towering corn fields that limit your field of vision, to claustrophobic “shrinking” tunnels and playgrounds that now serve as the stomping grounds for horrifying clowns, and more. And don’t forget your ticket also gives you access to their famous, spook infested Ghost Town. Looking for something for the whole family? Then come on down during the day for their Children of the Candy Corn attraction. Everyone is welcome to take wagon rides around the property, get their picture taken in a special fall photo op, and maybe even take a crack at that cornfield – whose spooky inhabitants hide away until it gets dark! Ages 8 and up is still recommended for the full haunted experience, however. Field of Screams is an affordable, hauntingly beautiful property where the whole family will be treated to stunning mountainous views and a ghastly good time!

Nevada Top Haunt: Fright Dome

Over 250,000 Sq Feet of Pure Vegas Terror

When you’re located in one of the top entertainment destinations in the world, you have to step up your game for the Halloween season; and that’s precisely what Fright Dome  has done! Fright Dome offers one of the largest selections of unique, terrifying attractions in one location. In their extensive lineup of Haunted Houses alone you’ll encounter horrifying zombies carrying a deadly plague, a Chainsaw Massacre fan favorite, a “Lights Out” experience where you’re all alone with nothing but your wits and a flashlight to protect you from what lurks in the dark, Happy Hell-idays, because all holidays matter, and a 4D Killer Clown experience. But that’s not all. “Scare Zones” are a completely different feature that the attraction offers. In the Scare Zone you’ll enter quarantined contamination zones in “Infectious Point”, witness a chaotic, dystopian glimpse into the “New World Disorder”, experience a once in a lifetime “Freak Show” and much, much more! The location also offers 4D theaters and nightly stage shows. If that doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping then one of their eight roller coasters and rides will surely do the trick! Travel Channel got it right when they called it “one of the most extreme haunted houses in the world”. With general admission tickets starting at only $37, Fright Dome is Halloween in true Vegas style!

Maryland Top Haunt: Laurel’s House of Horror

Over 28,000 Square feet of building practically dripping with dread.

2017 marks the fourth year for an attraction rated DC and Maryland’s scariest, Laurel’s House of Horror. This attraction is not only open during the regular haunt season from September to November, but also offers a special “Halfway to Halloween” event on select dates in April and May. Guests will have to make their way through the various monstrous inhabitants that dwell within – creatures designed to overload your senses and prey on your phobias. In addition to the holiday haunt, the attraction doubles as a space for four chilling and challenging escape rooms that operate year round. You’ll be plunged into interactive iconic scenes from your favorite horror films (try not to be the one that gets separated from your group though!), challenge rooms where your group is split into two as you race against the clock to be the first to emerge unscathed, and more. Open rain or shine, no matter the weather you can bring your team to see if you have what it takes to survive the night!

Arkansas Top Haunt: Carpenter’s Mortuary

A Haunted House in an Actual Mortuary

Moving up from our 2016 Runner Up list to take the number one spot this year is Carpenter’s Mortuary, one of the only haunted houses in the US located in an actual, eighty-eight year old mortuary. As you make your way down the horrifying halls of the Spook House, you’ll come face to face with the murderous morticians and ghastly gravediggers that still reside in Mother Carpenter’s mortuary and children’s home of horrors. Yep. You read that right. A mortuary and children’s home occupying the same space; what could go wrong? Well, with an embezzling, murderous “Mother” in charge, a lot apparently. This haunt is scary, so scary in fact that it’s recommended that you pass this one by if you suffer from certain medical conditions. (Check out their “Warnings” page on their site for more info.) Otherwise this attraction is recommended for those 13 and up and the entire attraction is located indoors so it will operate rain or shine! In addition to frights, this is a haunt with a heart. Carpenter’s Mortuary has previously partnered with Vet Tix to provide free tickets for veterans on opening weekend.  For that, we salute them.

New Hampshire Top Haunt: Nightmare New England

Five Fright Filled Funhouses!

Located just 45 minutes north of Boston, MA sits New Hampshire’s 80 acre haunted attraction, Nightmare New England. You’ll start your evening into the unknown with a 1 mile long hellish hayride before you boldly venture into the abandoned Brigham Manor. Or is it? While the Bishop Family no longer resides within those walls, something else may be lurking in its shadows. If you think you can continue, prepare to experience a freak show that only Spooky World can deliver! All manner of sinister specters and carnival rejects will grab your attention in this 3D Festival of Fear attraction. Then venture into the nightmarish world of Carnage before entering a maze of trails through the backwoods of New Hampshire where you’ll get an upclose look of The Colony, home to some of the most demented beings imaginable. There are no age restrictions at this elaborate 5 attraction haunt, but parents should be advised there will be blood and gore in certain scenes, as well as an attraction that comes with a bit of a shock. (Seriously, like an actual electric shock!) Spooky World’s Nightmare New England also partners with local schools, teams and more for fundraising opportunities that help groups give back to their community.

New Jersey Top Haunt: Brighton Asylum

Year Round Horror Themed Attraction!

Taking the number one slot for New Jersey’s best haunt of 2017 is Brighton Asylum. This Halloween season sees an all new interactive addition inside the bowels of this ramshackle 1940’s asylum, Zombie Attack. Forget paintball and laser tag, you and a team of friends will take on weighted, metal body replicas of M4 rifles so you can truly tackle the undead uprising. Called “The scariest place on earth” by The Today Show and rated as a Must See Haunt by Haunted Attraction Magazine for 2 consecutive years, it’s needless to say that if you want to get into this attraction, you should buy your tickets early. Visitors can also gain access to their time sensitive escape rooms, where you’ll need to work together to unlock hidden passageways and solve the puzzles that lead to your freedom. But why stop there? Since Brighton Asylum is open on selected dates year round there will always be an occasion to get spooked! So go ahead, take your loved one out for one of their dark Valentine’s Day celebrations in February, or maybe try your luck at one of their full contact (waiver required) experiences even later in the year. No matter when you need the scares, Brighton Asylum will be there!

For over 25 years Woods of Terror has been terrorizing visitors with their extensive 20 acre property that’s best described as a living hell. Featuring 13 unique attractions, this is a haunt that will satisfy even the most hardened horror fan. Guests will be subjected to attractions like “Blackout Terror”, where they will don a completely dark hood, blinding them to their surroundings and creating a tense atmosphere of claustrophobia. Showing that they’re truly not ones to play favorites with phobias, their infestation attraction will appeal to anyone with a fear of creepy crawlers. But the fun doesn’t stop there, you’ll be thrown into the midst of your most dreaded cinematic moments as you work your way through the lairs of famous horror movie icons.

New York Top Haunt: Darkside Haunted House

Professional haunt with movie quality sets!

Darkside Haunted House has intrigued curious visitors both near and far since 1998. Offering two attractions for the price of one, guests will get access to “The Village” and “The House” – both of which sit on over 14,000 Sq feet.  Fanatical patrons of the establishment insist that you should take your time to enjoy the professional and beautifully crafted props and scenery, although that may be hard when all you’ll want to do is hide your eyes and run! Located in the middle of a deserted field, adding a hint of real world isolation, you must make your way through the winding trails of “The Village” before venturing indoors where even more startling scenes await you. Applauded by Newsday for their realism and continual effort in creating a bigger and scarier haunted house year after year, you may want to bring a change of pants. (Or two.)
