Haunted Houses & Spooky Discounts

Hello lovelies! I know, it has been RIDICULOUSLY long since my last post, I apologize, I'll try to suck less. :D I came dangerously close to chunking my laptop out the window last night. This site was having issues and deleted the blog then wouldn't let me back in after I spent 3 hours writing it! I'm super glad I saved it elsewhere first. *phew*

Now we all know what season it is, time for Halloween!!! I know many of you like to go visit haunted houses, so I did my research, and found some pretty nice discounts, as well as some haunted houses some of you might not have heard of. There's quite a few of them, so I'll add in each of their websites. That way you guys can check out the details if you're interested.


Dallas Scaregrounds
Description: This haunted house actually has 3 attractions: The Terrortorium, The Necrotorium, & The Hallucinatorium. Your admission ticket gets your into all three! I got in for free last year(yay for working at the Spirit store!), and it's pretty awesome. The Hallucinatorium was the best, it's in 3D. It's spooky fun, just scary enough, but still a blast.

Cutting Edge
Description: I haven't been to this one because I'm a chicken, but I heard it's super scary. They hold the record for the world's longest haunted house. It should scare the crap out of you, so if that's what you go for, check it out!

Reindeer Manor
Description: I haven't been to this one, but it sounds pretty cool. They're actually in their 36th season. There are three attractions, Reindeer Manor, 13th St. Morgue, & Dungeon of Doom. It's a very unusual haunted house. It's not just random people popping out to scare you, there's actually a background story to it. It's pretty cool! You can read more about it on the site.

Lights Out At The Wax Museum
Description: It was a bit confusing to find info on, but it's fun, and the cheapest I've found yet. This one is awesome! I went last year and it was totally worth it! It's trippy, jumpy, and fun all in one. I can't remember if I went through one attraction or all three. Word of advice though: wear tennis shoes, i totally tripped, banged, my knee on a boulder, and down I went. Totally worth it. I'd definitely recommend going to the site to read more, it's more descriptive.

Slaughter House
Description: This one is kind of maze like. It was fun! It goes by fairly fast, and it's so fun you'll do it again. Plus, just when you think it's over, you get a surprise. I liked it. Although it's hell finding parking. Bring like $5 with you, a lot of parking garages downtown charge.

It took me FOREVER to find all this stuff so I hope it helps!!! Since finding free stuff & super discounts has slowed er, a bit, I've decided to start doing mini blogs between the big ones. They will be filled with plenty of awesome stuff that I've discovered. That way, while I'm hunting down the big stuff, you guys still have new stuff to check out. Anyways, it's late, I'm tired, and I want sleep. So, as always, Enjoy! And happy Halloween!
