New York Top Haunt: NY Haunted Hayride

Not Your Parents Hayride

The Haunted Hayride in New York, NY

One of the most popular and critically acclaimed haunted attractions in the country, it strikes fear in the hearts of some of the most tenacious people in the world—New Yorkers. With its massive budget, thanks in large part to Mark Cuban of Shark Tank, this hayride has it all: ghosts, demons, Deliverance-esque hillbillies, cultists, you name it. Once you make it to the end, grab a (very dim) lantern and try out the brand new House of Shadows, a complicated pitch black maze filled with disfigured creatures of the night. Lastly, unwind a little it in Purgatory, where you can pick up a couple concessions and relax—that is, unless you get picked to participate in one of the reenactments of famous horror movie scenes. Even if you don’t have polished acting chops, you’ll luckily have already gained plenty of experience screaming your head off.

Alabama Top Haunt: Nightmare at 3008

Where Nightmares Become Reality

 The Nightmare at 3008 in Fultondale, AL

Located in Fultondale, Nightmare at 3008’s tag line is “Where Nightmares Become Reality.” Yep, that’s about right. And there are many ways they bring your nightmares to life. You can tour the Abandoned Still Yard, a haunted junkyard that includes a quarter-mile trail filled with horrific misfits eager to make it the worst walk of your life. After you wet your pants outside, walk (or crawl) inside to the Terror Within where the dark and twisting hallways threaten to swallow you whole. All screams aside, Nightmare at 3008 is also a scare that cares. Each year this haunt raises money for charity, and the cause for 2016 is childhood cancer research. The folks running this attraction have a lot of heart – even if they’re trying to stop those of their guests. FrightFind salutes them for giving to such a worthy cause.

New Mexico Top Haunt: Realm of Darkness

A Haunted House With Purpose

Realm of Darkness in Albuquerque, NM

Albuquerque’s Realm of Darkness is a relatively small operation that packs a monstrous punch. In 2010, the management here decided they wanted to start a haunted house that would serve the community it terrified. It has since employed high school groups like athletic teams and extracurricular clubs as volunteer actors, who in turn receive a huge portion of the proceeds to benefit their organizations. The combined passions of the showrunners and the students manifests into one of the most horrifying attractions in the Southwest. With impressive theatrical set designs, nightmarish creatures that change daily, and an inventive layout—all for a good cause—this haunted house is a must visit.

New Jersey Top Haunt: Nightmare at Gravity Hill

Paintball and Paranoia

Nightmare at Gravity Hill in Jackson, NJ

Legend says that cars sometimes roll uphill and defy gravity around this 5 acre farm, though I wouldn’t stick around to see what causes it. This attraction appeals to most types. You can either walk through the haunted woods, shoot some zombies with paintballs, or both. While this still isn’t a huge operation compared to some of the others on our list, a lot of heart goes into making this attraction deeply enjoyable. Then again, some of those hearts seem to have been ripped back out.

Family Friendly……Sometimes

Haunted Overload in Lee, NH

This New England treasure was a runner-up last year. Haunted Overload is one of the few entries on our list with strictly family-friendly options on certain days of the week and at certain times of the day. Children and the fainthearted can enjoy the impressive set decorations and the shrieking actors during Day Haunt or Fright Nite Lite. However, once the sun goes down on the other days of the week, the ghouls come out. And boy, they don’t hold back. To see truly breathtaking set decoration artistry and maybe even pee your pants a bit, go in for the full Haunted Overload experience.

Arkansas Top Haunt: Fear Factory 501

Where Darkness Never Sleeps

The Fear Factory 501 in Jacksonville, AR

A two-time FrightFind winner, Fear Factory 501 is located in Jacksonville but worth the drive if you’re anywhere in the region. Of course, you might regret going at all if creepy clowns make your skin crawl because this place is known for them. Overall, there are some great actors prowling the attraction and some over-the-top gory features that both terrify and impress in their attention to detail. The attraction will have a special “Kid Friendly Night” on October 23, but otherwise probably too scary for younger children.

Nevada Top Haunt: Asylum/Hotel Fear Haunted House

Become a Part of the Feature Film

The Asylum/Hotel Fear Haunted House in Las Vegas, NV

This Las Vegas haunt wins again! Even though the Asylum/Hotel Fear Haunted Houses’ rooms are assembled out of repurposed shipping containers and semi truck trailers, don’t expect to be any less convinced by this haunted house’s horrifying narratives. In fact, walking from container to container, even the smallest of hotel “guests” are likely to feel claustrophobic, especially when the zombies and psychos start to move in on you. It’s largely thanks to this unsettling funhouse effect that the site was picked as the setting of the 2015 slasher film, “Rust.” In fact, there’s even a rumor that some characters from the movie may have permanently set up shop there…

Montana Top Haunt: Field of Screams

Western Montana’s Number One Attraction

Field of Screams in Victor, MT

A repeat winner from last year, this outdoor haunt boasts being Western Montana’s number one attraction—and for good reason. If you dare enter, you’ll first have to navigate through a dense, tall, cornfield filled with…well, who knows what. As you push through shrinking tunnels, graveyards, and playgrounds, you’ll meet some less-than-friendly clowns, ghouls, and maybe—unless you’re lucky—a chainsaw-wielding madman. For weaker stomachs, this haunted attraction sells Depends underwear. No kidding.

The Beast was one of the first haunts to take on an “open-format” design that allows guests to experience the hair-raising happening without the constraints of a typical scene-by-scene haunted story. Live actors, as well as animatronic characters take turns scaring the daylights out of thrill-seekers in what one patron calls, “The most fun and unique haunted houses I have ever been to.”
