“Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters.”
—Stephen King
Settling into what many consider to be the darkest of all humanity’s seasons, there is an emotional switch that gets thrown deep within the recesses of the human soul. People begin to crave horror in all shapes and forms. Decomposing graveyard motifs constructed in unsuspecting reaches of suburbia and expertly carved jack-o-lanterns with rows of jagged teeth staring back at you. Your personal dress and style trend darker and slightly sinister as the season of Halloween takes hold.
It’s the season of Halloween. The season of fun and fear. The season of haunted houses!
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 and even more in every state. Some haunts draw thousands; some draw dozens. We have some repeat favorite haunts, but there’s also new blood.
Enough waiting –!!!! Prepare yourselves for FrightFind’s must-see haunts in every state – 2022!
The best-haunted attractions are the ones that give a chilling backstory to immerse you full-stop, right into the terror. Warehouse 31 located in Pelham, Alabama has fiendishly prided itself on, “turning nightmares into reality.” The story? An alternate dimension known only as “The Rift” has been crudely opened and the “Creatures of the Rift” have come pouring through into our world. Opening interdimensional gates aren’t without bloody consequences as the ripping of the time-space plane has created a distortion to a fifty-scene plus series of mind-bending mazes that you and your friends must escape from. Level up your scare by opting for the 3D upgrade, or signing up for the special “Lights Out” experience where you avoid the creatures in total darkness with only a lantern to guide you!

Charlie Bookout tells us that Carpenter’s Mortuary Spook House is unique in that it occupies a historic 1929 building that once actually served as the Funeral Home for Gentry, Arkansas. 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 . . . Just kidding,” says Bookout. “There are from 20 to 25 talented actors roaming the halls of Carpenter’s Mortuary Spook House each night.”

Upon entering Perpetual Penitentiary you discover a vile and soulless AI entity is remotely controlling sadistic and foul experiments upon the guilty. Driven insane, the prisoners look to prey upon any suspecting visitors inside their hellish prison. The 17th Door is Fullerton, California’s (greater L.A. area) hottest attraction for 2022. The attraction runners have instituted an audible “mercy” rule for any visitors who cannot handle the experience because according to their site, there is a high likelihood of being grabbed and even getting wet while trying to escape.
Waiver forms are a must for anyone looking to take their chances inside, but anyone looking to extend their nightmares can do so by indulging in a fifty-minute post-17th Door attraction entitled “The Field Trip” where you will be transported slightly offsite to escape such fiendishly weird groups as Ravetown Furries and Ratrod Clowns. 17th Door also has a special behind-the-scenes docu-series called Spook Show 17 that you can watch via iTunes, Google Play or Amazon.

In June 1966, the Spurlock family moved to the rural outskirts of Maize, Kansas. Bizarre and not believed to be of this world, the family farm soon turned into a bloody hellscape where screams within the property became so loud it caused a pestilence to be unleashed upon the land. Missing children in the area eventually lead to vigilantes who storm the farm in search of justice only to find none. Lured within the cornfields, the vigilantes were dismembered with chainsaws and their heads and torso swapped with that of dead swine in mutilations so gruesome that such depravities were too much even for demons.
Makes a kick-ass place for a haunted attraction, right? Field of Screams Kansas: The Spurlock Legend is looking to carve up the scares long into the night as unsuspecting attraction attendees attempt to navigate blood-soaked cornfield mazes with frights hanging around every stalk of corn.

Nothing will challenge your fight or flight stamina and test your mental horror limits like a haunted house. A place where grotesque, inhuman monsters chase and terrorize in hopes of eliciting screams so loud they wake the dead. Demonologist Ed Warren of The Conjuring universe used to remark about the untapped psionic energy a human being emits as the primary driver in poltergeist attraction when entering a haunted house. For those unable to tap into such psionic energies, your screams will do just fine. Happy Halloween!
