Haunted house attractions are quick ways to get a scare in as Halloween approaches.  If your looking for something to do with friends or family, or want to fight the urge to pee your pants in fear, here are local venues that have gathered actors to give you a spook. These places intend to invoke fear, so if you think 8-year-old Suzie, or yourself, is a bit of a scaredy-cat, reconsider this adventure. Some places already enforce an age limit and parental restrictions on guests; however, many places offer a milder haunted experience during alternative hours. But if you think you’re that person who isn’t afraid of anything, including death, test yourself at a haunted house that makes you walk through solo. These venues offer a range of frights, so if you have the time, go to as many as you can and compare. Happy haunting.
