What does fall mean for you? Is it colorful fall foliage, cooler weather, everything pumpkin spice? Maybe it’s all of the above. However, for some of you, it means only one thing. It’s Halloween and time to get your spook on! If that’s the case, here are some of the many haunted houses in Alabama you must try out!
Haunted Houses in Alabama
For easy finding, I have organized these haunted houses in Alabama by region. As with everything this year, be sure to check each haunted house’s requirements for admission and exercise caution if attending. On the positive, enjoy the requirement of wearing a built-in costume item! 😉
NORTH ALABAMA
Doomsday Haunt (Athens)
Join the Doomsday Investigation team and discover what’s lurking in these strange woods. See if you have what it takes to make it through woods like you’ve never seen before!
This self described “hybrid immersive haunt” is an outdoor attraction that is wheelchair accessible.
Arx Mortis (Killen)
Voted one of the top haunts in the nation, Arx Mortis means “Death Fortress” and is a 50,000 square foot indoor haunt. A recreation of a 1940s sanitarium, the experience involves live actors and animatronic props that…ahem…get your attention!
Lasting roughly 45 minutes, the attraction doesn’t have an official age restriction but isn’t recommended for children under 13.
NEW for 2025: Blood Hive | UPDATED for 2025: Deadwater Bayou
Lester Haunted Hospital (Lester)
For those who are curious about paranormal activity, Lester Haunted Hospital is for you. The clinic opened in the 1940s and closed in the 1990s. In those 50 years, there were many patients and employees who saw and heard things they still can’t explain.
This is an indoor experience and children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Cavern Cove Village (Grant)
Try Alabama’s top-rated haunted corn maze at Cavern Cove Village. There is also a haunted maze escape bus and various Halloween-themed events during the season.
PV Slaughterhouse (Rainsville)
PV Slaughterhouse is located in an old, abandoned meat processing plant. There are stories of paranormal activity in the building and it’s always looking for new victims. Are you the next?
Haunted Trails of Terror (Hanceville)
The Haunted Trails of Terror promises a full, energetic crew of monsters ready to scare. They have indoor and outdoor attractions featuring hayrides, haunted houses, and of course, their iconic haunted trails!
CENTRAL ALABAMA
Atrox Factory (Leeds)
Claiming to be the largest, all-indoor haunted attraction in the Southeast, Atrox Factory is also considered to be one of the top 10 haunted attractions in the United States.
They feature over 1/4 mile of twisted hallways full of mind-numbing terror. Each year they create a new set, plot, and actors for all-new annual experiences!
Conjure Haunted Attraction (Birmingham)
Conjure Haunted Attraction is the new kid in town. With over 50,000 square feet of entertainment space, it is the ONLY haunt in Birmingham’s city limits.
There are live actors (no, they don’t touch you), and costumes can be worn. However, the experience isn’t recommended for children under 13 years of age.
Haunted Hollow (Valley)
Haunted Hollow in Valley features three different haunts for your choice of a scary time. Choose from Finn’s Funeral Home, Village of the Dead, and Spinal Tap. Do any of those spook…I mean pique your interest?
Hellbilly Hollow (Vincent)
Vincent’s Hellbilly Hollow provides its victims visitors with three different attractions for the price of admission. Enjoy a wagon ride, corn maze, and haunted house!
Which one will be your favorite? Hellbilly Hotel, The Cornfield, or The Hayride?
The Haunted Chicken House (Heflin)
At The Haunted Chicken House in Heflin, in addition to the Full Length Haunted Chicken House there is also a Haunted Hay Ride, and (my personal favorite) a Crazy Train!
What…are you too chicken?
Mountain Creek Trail of Fear (Verbena)
The Mountain Creek Trail of Fear takes place in Verbena on 35 acres of land. The walking trail occurs in the woods and lasts approximately 25-30 minutes. There is also a hayride. Purchase admission to either or a combo ticket for both and save money.
No use of flashlights (regular or cellphone) permitted. Also, there is use of strobe lights.
Nightmare At 3008 (Fultondale)
Voted Alabama’s number one must-see haunt by fans three years in a row, Nightmare At 3008 features the state’s only two-story haunted house!
Do you dare??
Sleepy Hollow Haunted Farm (Auburn)
Murder Maze, Rip Ride, and Clown Cabin are what you will find at Sleepy Hollow Haunted Farm in Auburn. Tickets grant admission to all three attractions. If the video on their website is any clue, there will absolutely be a scary time involved!
Pope’s Haunted Farm (Salem)
Pope’s Haunted Farm in Salem offers The Hayride, The Haunted Barn, and The Forest. All three attractions feature 30+ actors each, with the Haunted Forest listed as the most intense experience.
Spooktrail (Quinton)
Located inside an old junkyard, Spooktrail promises a “mazeum of monsters and mayhem” in the woods. With over a quarter-mile of haunted fun, this is one of Alabama’s longest running haunted attractions!
Warehouse 31 (Pelham)
Pelham’s Warehouse 31 features two main fright attractions. There is the classic Rigamortis featuring twists and turns through 50 scenes in an old warehouse.
Then there is the 3D experience where one can don 3D glasses and navigate through the tunnel of doom and other scary situations. Both experiences are rated PG-13 and not recommended for children under age 12.
Eastaboga Manor (Eastaboga)
Can you see BoxCar Joe? Legend has it that if you look closely as the train passes the Eastaboga Manor, BoxCar Joe can be seen waving.
Who is BoxCar Joe? Visit the Manor to find out but I will give you a haunting hint. Rumor has it that a massacre was involved…
Foster’s Haunted Trail (Wedowee)
Foster’s Crossroads Haunted Trail is a quarter-mile trail running alongside a creek in Wedowee. Each year, the non-profit organization donates its earnings to the local children who get very little for Christmas.
The Territorium (Oxford)
The Territorium features a “CARNEVIL of Halloween fun and fright”. In addition to the territorium itself, there is a Big Eli Ferris Wheel, and The Haunted Castle Dark. You are invited to their “Midway of Macabre” and they look forward to your arrival!
Okay, there you have it! These 20 options are perfect for Halloween. Find your favorite (or two or three) on this list of haunted houses in Alabama and go have a scary, grand night!
