Fear Factory

Ranked as one of Buzzfeed’s Top 20 Scariest Haunted Houses in the World, Fear Factory opened operations as a cement factory over 100 years ago… but a string of horrific accidents led many to believe the building had a murderous mind of its own.

In addition to general admission to this haunted attraction, Fear Factory offers private and public ghost tours and paranormal investigations, a VR “face your fears” experience, and a free Zombie Bus between the Gateway and the Fear Factory every 30 minutes.

Frightmares at Lagoon

Normally, the screams at Lagoon are only due to stomach-dropping rides and roller coasters. But not during Frightmares, where the happy theme park turns becomes a haunted theme park, featuring attractions ranging from non-scary to very scary. There are gobs of haunted experiences, including but not limited to: Seance -an immersive, multi-sensory, and ghostly experience involving live performance, intense physical effects, and audience participation; Treat Street - a non-scary trick or treating trail; Frightening Frisco -  haunted ghost town; Vampire Nightwalk; and Straw maze. And of course, all the rides and roller coasters are open during Frightmares.

Cornbelly's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Fest

One of Utah’s most popular Halloween destinations, Cornbelly’s has something for everyone, from thrill-seeking grown-ups to the littlest boos and ghouls.

In addition to spooky fun, there are countless other fall attractions, including zip lines, apple blasters, face painting, pumpkin bowling, interactive games, hayrides, and lots of food and treats.

Castle of Chaos

Why go to a haunted house when you can go to a haunted castle? Depending on your scare sensitivity, you can choose from five different levels of fear. In level five, you may be touched, restrained, moved, and threatened—even Danny Trejo was spooked. In addition to the haunted castle, be sure to try one of the castle’s famous haunted escape rooms: Lockdown, Serial Killer, Asylum, and Paranormal.
