This haunted house is based on a true police investigation in 1944. To summarize the story, a woman held two other women captive in her basement, through hypnotism, for seven years. This haunted attraction uses the concepts of bondage, spell-casting, mesmerism, and hypnotism to their advantage and makes sure you are jumping out of your socks the moment you walk in the door. Hex House is the best experience for you, if you want to jump into the world of witchcraft.

www.easternstate.org/halloween
For ages 7+, but ages 7-18 must have a parent or guardian with them
Open September 16th-November 5th
Tickets are $19-45
As soon as you step foot in the Eastern State Penitentiary, you have a choice. You can walk through the attraction without being touched, or you can choose to experience physical contact. In our opinion, we wouldn’t want to be poked, prodded, and taken away from our group. In some situations you are even incorporated into the show. Your only goal in the attraction, is to escape the prison.
3. Haunted Hoochie At Dead Acres- Pataskala, Ohio
For all ages (parental advisory is highly recommended for minors)
Open October 14th-29th
Tickets are $25-45
At the beginning of the attraction, a sign reads, “ATTENTION: Entering Dead Acres entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury. Risks may include among other things, slipping, falling, collision with fixed objects or other participants…This may be the best haunted house you’ve ever experienced. Have Fun.” Say no more.
2. Blackout- Los Angeles, California and New York City, New York
Ages 18+
Open all October and during exclusive off-season periods
Tickets are $45-100
In this attraction, much of your experience is spent alone and in the dark. Let’s just say, those two things don’t mix well together. This attraction features full frontal nudity, sexual situations, edibles, submersion in water, and extreme physical contact. But fear not (if that’s even possible), there is a safe word. This attraction is meant to put you in real life, scary situations, to stimulate your worst fears, rather than ghosts and goblins jumping out at you.
1. McKamey Manor- San Diego, California
For ages 21+
Open year-round
Tickets are $0 a.k.a FREE, but they do ask for a dog food donation
This is the worst of the worst. The scariest of the scary. Correction, this attraction is HORRIFYING. Only the bravest of the brave are able to conquer this 4-7 hour experience. Your experience includes, physical contact, small enclosed spaces, submersion in water, force feeding/edibles, haircuts, covered in blood, and other extreme violence. We think only the insane would try this haunted house. So, props to you if you have the guts to do this.
