“No new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.”
— H.P. Lovecraft
Leave it to one of the greatest horror writers of all time to give those of us in the new millennium a fresh and frightening perspective on what sorts of horrific places can draw us in for a torturously devilish time. Translation? Haunted attractions.
That’s right. It’s the time of year once again when the sun darkens early, and a brisk chill from the slashing cold will slice itself across the hairs on the back of your neck. Shadowy scarecrows are perched to corners as brightly lit jack-o-lanterns lead you on an unsteady path towards a shrieking fate. For the veteran haunted attraction thrillseekers, to the newbies looking for somewhere to start, and even for those wanting impromptu weekend romp to scream yourselves silly with a group of friends…..we’ve got you covered. Before you now are the absolute best-haunted attractions that every state has to offer.
As always, we are not here to rank or tell you which killer clown is scariest (clearly it’s Pennywise); we are just here to bring you at least one haunted house to visit in every state. Some haunts draw thousands; some draw dozens. We have some repeat top haunts, but we left room for some new blood.
But enough waiting – Prepare yourselves for FrightFind’s must-see haunts in every state – 2021!

The haunt as it is known today has been successfully scaring thrill-seekers since it opened in 2014, but the artists who run Mortuary Studios have been sharing their passion for the paranormal at this location for over 30 years. “We only use real ghosts . . .
