One of the best ways to celebrate the thrills and chills of the Halloween season in the Smoky Mountains is with a haunted house. You’ll find several haunted houses throughout the Smokies, complete with eerie passageways, creepy residents, startling animatronics and everything else that makes these walk-thru attractions so fun! While these attractions are open all year long for your enjoyment, the scares are ramped up for the month of October, so get ready to scream! Here are 3 spooktacular haunted houses in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to experience this Halloween:
1. Mysterious Mansion
The Mysterious Mansion is a terrifying 3-story haunted house in Gatlinburg that has been scaring Smoky Mountain visitors for more than 40 years! You’ll face your deepest fears on an unguided tour that takes you through secret passageways, winding staircases and many spine chilling chambers, and you never know what restless residents might be lurking around the corner in each foreboding room ahead. You can’t miss the sinister mansion sitting right along River Road in the heart of Gatlinburg – just listen for the screams to guide your way! The Mysterious Mansion features special Halloween presentations on October weekends, and there is no better place in the Smokies to “get your scare on”!
2. Ripley’s Haunted Adventure
Another one of the spooktacular haunted houses in Gatlinburg to experience this Halloween is Ripley’s Haunted Adventure. This frightfully fun attraction is situated right along the main strip in downtown Gatlinburg, making it easily accessible when you’re ready for some Halloween thrills! During this spine-chilling walk-through attraction, you’ll discover what goes bump in the night as live actors, special effects and unexpected surprises keep you on your toes! Ripley’s Haunted Adventure is perfect for brave souls who are ready for a horrifyingly good time, so see if you have what it takes to make it through without screaming! While you can purchase individual tickets to this attraction, consider one of the Ripley’s combo options for the best value.
3. Outbreak - Dread the Undead
Outbread - Dread the Undead is the ultimate haunted house in Pigeon Forge for zombie fans, as you’ll become part of an elite force meant to contain a zombie outbreak! The story goes that Chemacorp was once the leader in biotechnology, but their experimental DNA-altering Alpha Strain has gone terribly wrong and turned soldiers into aggressive zombies. Now, the building is on lockdown, and the only way out is through an emergency exit on the other side of the compound! You’ll have to make your way through the ransacked lab, ruined morgue, and rotting basement to assure that the undead are contained, but watch out for the hordes of the undead who may surprise you along this thrill-a-second adventure! You’ll find Outbreak - Dread the Undead in Pigeon Forge as part of the Hollywood Wax Museum entertainment complex.
