Arkansas Top Haunt: Carpenter’s Mortuary
Undertakers, Morticians and Grave Diggers, oh my!
Charlie Bookout tells us that Carpenter’s Mortuary Spook House is unique in that it occupies a historic 1929 building that once actually served as the Funeral Home for Gentry, Arkansas.
The haunt as it is known today has been successfully scaring thrill-seekers since it opened in 2014, but the artists who run Mortuary Studios have been sharing their passion for the paranormal at this location for over 30 years.
“We only use real ghosts . . . Just kidding,” says Bookout. “There are from 20 to 25 talented actors roaming the halls of Carpenter’s Mortuary Spook House each night.”

California Top Haunt: Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
Four Horrifying Haunts in One!
The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is our top haunt for the great state of California. While the hayride is cast as the main event, the haunt actually houses 4 separate attractions in one. Guests enter into Purgatory where they interact with the living dead; they traipse through the Haunted Village, and take a ride on undead horses on the “Scary-go-Round.”
LA’s favorite haunted hayride, celebrating its tenth year in operation, has a little something for everyone. While the travels through Purgatory may not be suitable for those under 8 years of age, locals are said to offer “Tricks and Treats” for the youngsters, and hot food and snacks are served up at the “Grubshack.”

Guests are hunted by maniacal killers as they traverse through the torture chambers of “Condemned,” the haunt’s first attraction. Those who manage to escape will hitch a ride on a paintball-toting trailer outfitted to exterminate hordes of the undead. If zombie annihilation isn’t too much to handle, guests make their way through Dead Man’s Maze where the night’s darkness casts dizzying shadows that confuse the senses. Finally, guests will come face to face with the evil outcasts left behind at an abandoned freak show in the CarnEvil in the Corn.

No scare is too extreme—or controversial—for Ohio’s Haunted Hoochie at Dead Acres. This in-your-face haunted house experience consistently pushes the limits of horror and was once featured in USA Today for their contentious approach to making their visitors’ skin crawl. Haunted Hoochie is not for the squeamish or faint of heart: past scenes at the attraction have included violently bloody demon births, a staged shotgun suicide, simulated skinnings, and politically-charged exhibits. For a two-in-one assault on the senses, also make sure to stop in at Bad Trip 3D, which is included in the price of admission to Dead Acres.
