Starting out in 1990 as The Institute Of Terror Haunted House, Nightmare On 13th has since grown into “One of the industry’s most successful haunted attractions” (Haunted Attraction Magazine), “One of America’s scariest attractions” (The Travel Channel), and “One of America’s best haunted houses” (USA Today).

So what’s new for 2019 at the Nightmare On 13th?
Introducing I-Scream, where some of the clowns have decided to go into business for themselves and have taken over an abandoned ice cream factory, where they are now making their own frozen treat called I-Scream. (And who knows what kind of ingredients they might be using!)
The Nightmare Castle, long an icon in Salt Lake City, has also gotten a new look and has been totally remodeled. Towering over 1300 South, the castle is bigger, darker, and scarier looking than ever before!
Another new attraction is Helheim. This new Nightmare submerses its’ victims into the Norse Lore of Helheim – a dark underworld where only the dishonored dead live. Beware of the dangerous Gods, demons, and giants lurking here!
While the main haunted house of the Nightmare is well known, there are other ways to add to the fun as well, such as a new separate attraction called X-Scream. X-Scream is a great way to intensify the haunting experience by plunging unknowing guests into the darker side of the Nightmare. But be forewarned - this dark, immersive and intense multi-sensory attraction is not for the faint of heart!
