Aside from Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love pumpkin carving, bags of candy, fake spider webs stretched across door frames, and all of the costumes, from the cute to the outrageous. But my favorite part of Halloween, the part that sends excited shivers down my spine, is the haunted houses. Each year, I spend hours planning out which haunts I will visit, thinking about how absolutely scared I will be running through each one, and deciding how I can ever-more-tightly hold on to the back of my husband\u2019s t-shirt. One haunted house that I know I don\u2019t want to miss this year is Ripley\u2019s Haunted Adventure during Ripley\u2019s Fright Nights in October.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For years, Ripley\u2019s has been chilling thrill seekers year round, but during October, the Haunted Adventure becomes even more terrifying with the return of the 13th<\/sup> annual Fright Nights. During Fright Nights, there are many more performers ready to scare all who dare to enter, and the presence of a theme, this year\u2019s being, \u201cBackwoods Terror:\u00a0 You Just Made A Wrong Turn,\u201d allows for more experimentation with sounds, smells, sights and touches.<\/p>\n

Ripley\u2019s Haunted Adventure is also especially scary because of its history. In 1999, Ripley\u2019s Entertainment opened the haunted house on the former site of the Grimsby and Streaper Casket Company. In the early 1900s, the casket company was closed, although the reasons for which are still a bit of a mystery. After residents began disappearing, Grimsby and Streaper was abandoned, but tours are still being given.<\/p>\n

Ripley\u2019s Haunted Adventure is one of the few haunted houses in the country that is open every day of the year. Regular tours will continue through October, but the Fright Nights will show on the weekends.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things to know about Ripley\u2019s Fright Nights:<\/p>\n
