Are you ready for a good old fashioned fright? Now is the time of year to check out a haunted house. Now, I’m not talking about some kiddie ones that can barely give you a startle. The following haunted houses are some of the scariest ones in America and are best for adults only.

Terror Behind The Walls At Eastern State Penitentiary In Philadelphia
Once an actual state prison, this is the perfect place for a haunted house. The dilapidated cell blocks and desolate guard towers make for a spooky feel all on their own. When you add all sorts of ghostly creatures, with some of them being spirits from former prisoners, and special effects, you make for perhaps the best haunted house in America.

Hundred Acres Manor In Pittsburgh
Now, this haunted house has no relation to Winnie The Pooh’s Hundred Acre Woods. This attraction isn’t full of any giggles from Pooh being poked in the belly, but what it does have is a lot of screams. It features a rather disturbing slaughterhouse that showcases all sorts of “interesting” experiments that frighten visitors beyond belief.

Nashville Nightmare In Nashville
Those who have visited this haunted house will tell you that it’s one of the best ones in the country. It features a lot of realistic attractions and actors that go above and beyond to keep the scares going. The terror never seems to end at the Nashville Nightmare.

Thrillvania In Terrell
Even Texans know how to get in on the haunted house fun. Located only around 20 miles from Dallas, this haunted house is massive. It’s located on 50 acres and features 8 different attractions including the Verdun Manor. It is two stories and was actually designed by Disney Imagineers and has more props per square foot than any other haunted house in the United States. Around 20,000 people visit this haunted house every year.

The House Of Horrors And Haunted Catacombs In Buffalo
New Yorkers like a good scare and The House Of Horrors and Haunted Catacombs will not disappoint. It has been freaking out visitors for around 18 years and features sets that looks as if they were designed for a Hollywood movie. At every turn there’s demons, psychopaths and zombies walking around. When you add this to all of the special effects, you will feel as if you are in an actual, real life nightmare.
