Looking for the perfect, spooky haunted house this Halloween? We’ve got you covered with a list of some of the scariest and most intense haunted house experiences in America.

Eastern State Penitentiary

Located in Philadelphia, Pa., in what used to be the most famous and expensive prison in the world, Terror Behind the Walls is sure to scare you straight. Explore the prison’s six different attractions for all types of scares.

The 13th Gate

This year-round haunted attraction, located in Baton Rouge, is considered one of the top in the country. It is highly interactive and intense, and definitely not for the faint of heart. The attractions also include themed escape rooms, where guests try to make it out “alive.”

Cutting Edge

Located in an abandoned meat-packing factory in Fort Worth, Texas, guests of Cutting Edge hope to make it out in one unsliced piece. It’s described as frighteningly realistic, and also holds the Guinness World Record as the largest haunted house.

Asylum 49

This Utah haunted house is known for being next-level intense. Most haunted attractions have a rule where actors cannot touch guests; this rule goes out the window here. You can be touched, grabbed and separated from your group for some extra terrifying scares. 

The Shallow Grave

The Shallow Grave in Winter Haven, Fla., is another highly intense experience where the actors are allowed to touch guests. The movie-quality sets and realistic actors are what make this attraction one of the best in Florida.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet
