The Most Intense Haunted Houses in the United States

Haunted houses—you either love them or hate them. And while we wish we were amongst the people who love a good scare, we are too terrified to tolerate them.

Instead, we'll appreciate things from the sidelines. So, if you are in the category of people addicted to the adrenaline rush, here are five intense haunted houses in the United States you should consider attending this Halloween.

The Last of Us at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights

Halloween Horror Nights is one of the best spots for haunted house lovers because of its licensed attractions. You couldn't tell us you wouldn't have more fun in a Last of Us-themed house than a regular-schmegular one. Thankfully, The Last of Us attraction at Universal Studios isn't just a gimmick—it's been rated as one of the scariest houses by People and BuzzFeed.

 

Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania

If you desire an immersive experience, try the Pennhurst Haunted Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. This haunted house literally takes place in what was once a real asylum. But beyond its historical accuracy, it's also rated as one of the scariest and most visited haunted houses in the United States.

13th Floor Haunted House in Chicago, Illinois

You might not want to travel all the way to Florida or California to an expensive amusement park to appease your haunted house craving. As an alternative, we'd like to recommend the 13th Floor in Chicago. It's rated as one of the best haunted houses by USA Today, and it sometimes offers a take on your favorite legends, like Krampus.

 

Lewisburg Haunted Cave in Lewisburg, Ohio

Haunted houses are already terrifying on their own, but can you imagine doing one in an underground cave? In this attraction, you'll go into the depths of a limestone cave in Lewisburg, Ohio. So, on top of being spooked by scare actors, you'll also have to deal with the claustrophobia of a dark, damp and cold cave. If you can't handle the jumpscares, they even offer a flashlight tour without actors to appreciate its eerie beauty.

 

Ghost Boat Tour at Wisconsin Dells

Technically, the Ghost Boat Tour at Wisconsin Dells isn't a haunted house because it is on the water, but it's still sure to get your heart racing as you embark on a ghastly adventure down the Wisconsin River. This attraction definitely isn't for the faint of heart because it lasts for a whooping one-and-a-half hours.
