Haunted houses have come a long way since the days of crappy animatronics and cheap jump scares. 🦇🌙⁠ ⁠ They aren’t for the faint of heart but if you like your thrills extreme, here’s five of the world’s scariest haunted houses to seek out. 😱⁠ ⁠ 📍 Tulsa Hex House, Oklahoma, United States⁠ ⁠ This haunted house recreates a disturbing true story from the 1940s, in which a woman named Carolann Smith manipulated two young women into living in her basement, handing over all their money, and doing her bidding — all under the guise of Smith’s “new religion”.⁠ ⁠ 📍 Lost Souls Alley, Kraków, Poland⁠ ⁠ Like a terrifying mix between a haunted house and an escape room, Lost Souls Alley dumps you in a house filled with some of your deepest, darkest fears. You’ll have to overcome them (or at least escape them) if you want to make it out. There are four different experiences to choose from depending on what kind of thrill you’re after, each with varying ratings for pain, fear and fun. If you’re brave enough to pick the Red Version, the website warns that the actors will “attempt to ‘break’ the participant”.⁠ ⁠ 📍The Dark House, New York, United States⁠ ⁠ Instead of frightening you with monsters and men, The Dark House attempts to horrify your mind.⁠ As the name suggests, you’ll be plunged into total darkness during this “immersive horror theatre experience”. Armed with only an audio headset, you’ll have to navigate the darkness and try not to let your mind run away from you.⁠ ⁠ 📍Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear Fujiyoshida, Japan⁠ ⁠ The Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear is widely regarded as one of the scariest haunted houses in the world. Located inside an abandoned hospital, you’ll have free roam of almost 1km of creepy hallways, gruesome operating rooms and haunted wards.⁠ ⁠ 📍DementedFX Massachusetts, United States⁠ ⁠ Some of the scariest haunted houses may be based on real stories or inspired by myth, but none are as obsessed with horror stories as DementedFX. By taking part, you become the hero of your own horror movie in an experience complete with Hollywood-quality sets, props, sound design and interactive video elements.⁠ ⁠ Source: https://awol.junkee.com/⁠ ⁠
