Cutting Edge Haunted House Through November 14
Cutting Edge Haunted House is located in a 100-year-old abandoned meat-packing factory right here in Fort Worth. This haunted house received two records in Guinness World Records for “World’s Largest Haunted Attraction” and “World’s Largest Walk Through Haunted House” in 2015. Nuff said! Open every weekend to those who dare to enter one of the best multi-storied haunted houses in the nation with safety protocols in place including mandatory reservations and no lockers are available. (Make sure to check if this attraction is age appropriate for your guests!)
Hangman’s House of Horrors Haunted House Through October 31
This charity-benefiting haunted house is the largest of its kind in the world. Unlike many other haunted houses, Hangman’s changes their theme every year. This year, Ft. Worth’s legendary Hezekiah Jones, “The Hangman,” will find himself standing beside some of the creepiest people, places and things Texas has to offer. This chilling take on “Texas Legends” is sure to make you check under your bed before you go to sleep at night.
This year they are doing something special for your young ones! Introducing Scaredy Cat Night on Oct. 11 & 25 from 5p-7p.
Honorable Mention: SoFortWorthIt Visited Fright Fest in 2017
In 2017, Autumn Reo with Mama Challenge and The Reo Agency reached out to me to join her on a frightful adventure to Six Flags. It was only appropriate that we bring a cinematographer, aka, cool camera guy Joshua Colson, to capture all of our screams on film. You’ll get a kick out of this one minute video. Special thanks to Josh Mills with Desert Wind Films, this wouldn’t have been possible with him.
Over the next few weeks, I have some incredible posts coming your way, including a giveaway so big, your socks will be blown off!
I’m also working on my wildly popular Holiday Events and Activities in DFW. I have tons of giveaway and prizes on the horizon, so hold on to your pants! Speaking of giveaways, I hope you enjoy the one below.
