Halloween is the time for scares and screams. Time for ghost and monster stories. And it’s also time for those long mazes of heart-pounding scare fests. Haunted corn mazes, haunted houses, and sometimes haunted hotels. Some cities can put on some of the scariest experiences that will leave you shaking at the very end, or have you crying to be let out early. And for the select few haunted houses, sometimes even waiting in line can be scary. For those who have your skin crawling in line and you close to peeing your pants inside the house, then that’s what we call the top scariest haunted house in the U.S.
