The Most Intense, Horrifying Haunted Attractions In America

Halloween is the holiday for candy, partying, scary movies, and live haunted attractions. Some of these haunted houses, haunted hayrides and other spooky attractions are so terrifying that you literally have to sign a waiver to experience them.

So get ready to scream, and enter if you dare.

McKamey Manor

NOT for the faint of heart, Russ McKamey’s extremely intense haunted attraction in his backyard requires a waiver and doesn’t have a safe word.

Participants endure up to 8 hours of physical and psychological horror including being gagged, force-fed, dunked underwater and given unwanted haircuts.

Fear Overload Scream Park

With two haunted houses in the San Francisco Bay Area, this live haunt is a huge hit for seven years running.

Participants are given only a tiny flashlight to help them find their way through the house, and the lead designer has had to hold people’s hands to guide them out.

Terror Behind The Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary is a historic former prison in Philly that housed criminal masterminds Al Capone and Willie Sutton, so you know it’s creepy.

Participants decide if they want an observer experience or an interactive experience, meaning they can be grabbed and detained from their group.

Witches of New Salem

This Michigan corn maze gets pretty intense. Join the nighttime tour for a harrowing journey trying to find your way out of a maze, all while being chased by corn stalkers.

You can also take a stroll through the haunted Witches Woods if you haven’t yet lost your voice from screaming so loud.
