Halloween fun to be had at Metro area haunted houses – Polk.Today

While there are over 20 haunted houses and attractions to visit in Northwest Georgia, weve compiled a short list for you to check out this year!

While the excitement of Halloween was diminished last year due to COVID, theres no reason we shouldnt get out and celebrate this year masks and social distancing rules still observed in large groups, of course and what better way to celebrate spooky season than with a visit to a Haunted House (or two)!

Without further ado, heres a list and summary of some of the closest haunts going all out on the spooks this year if youre brave enough to check them out!

Folklore Haunted House in Acworth features not one, but three haunted houses all for the price of one general admission ticket.

The first haunt at this location is The Manor, which tells the story of a once-glorious estate now gone to ruin along with the souls of its former inhabitants. Guests are invited to visit The Manor and find out for themselves just what lurks behind those walls.

The second attraction in the Folklore haunt this year is Asylum 67, which takes guests back to a Georgia asylum from the late 1960s, where reports of illegal activities and rumors of horrors unimaginable run rampant. The asylum encourages you to find out what happened to those who investigated before you if youre feeling brave enough.

The third and final house in this haunt is Overload. Youre searching a space station that went missing in deep space some time ago, and its up to you to explore and find out what happened to the crew although it seems that the ship didnt come back empty-handed.

General Admission tickets to all three haunted houses vary by day leading up to Halloween, so be sure to check the link provided for more information on ticket prices and how to buy.

Tickets for individual haunted houses are also available. Visit Folklores website at https://folklorehauntedhouse.com/ for calendar and trailer access to this years haunts.

Like Folklore Haunted House, Paranoia in Canton offers more than one haunt at their location. The first of these is The Void, the site of a quantum cryonics research facility where some experiments on humans went horribly wrong and we wont spoil the details here, but youll have to crawl through the abandoned place and see for yourselves.

The second haunt is the Suffering, which leads you into the woods of Canton and onto a piece of land haunted by tragedy and human sacrifices. Legend has it a dark witch who kidnapped kids lived in these woods. Are you brave enough to try and find her house to save them? Visit Paranoia Haunted House to find out.

Paranoia is open every Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. now through Halloween. For full details and ticket pricing, visit their website here.

Perhaps one of the more popular haunts in Georgia, 13 Stories Haunted House features two main attractions. 13 Stories includes two smaller attractions; Vertigo and Zombie Alley.
