Every year Hauntworld.com releases the premier list of haunted houses, haunted hayrides, scream parks, Halloween attractions, corn mazes, real haunted houses and even home haunted houses. By
doing so, Hauntworld.com has helped even the smallest home haunts become nationally recognized, allowing some to even progress into major, professional attractions. Hauntworld.com has also helped
many local haunted houses receive national recognition as one of America’s best haunted houses in the nation. Many of the best haunted houses in the World were discovered and promoted on this very
list, our annual list of the best haunted houses in America.
The haunted house industry started back in the early 1970's predominantly as charity attractions. Then later into the 1980's, they transformed into huge local screams! With the invention of the internet
and more specifically high speed internet access, haunted houses could cost-effectively showcase videos, photos, logos and more towards the worldwide promotion of their events as high end attractions,
gaining the kind of national awareness that only places like Disney World or Universal Studios were able to garner prior.
Haunted houses flourished, finding new audiences and creating worldwide identities as tourist hotspots. Today, there are people from all over the WORLD planning Fall vacations in search of attending
the best haunted house attractions in the world. Many load up their vehicles, take off work for a week, and travel from city to city finding haunted houses throughout the nation that make their heart
pound and the hair on the back of their neck rise. They’re in search of finding that ultimate high and extreme sensation that ONLY a haunted house can create. Hollywood can NO LONGER compete with
the live experience of fear. The debut of horror movies have moved out of October, because haunted houses get all the press and hype. Today, haunted houses are better attracting their attention,
and haunted houses are getting millions of people from around the WORLD lined up for miles to enter their favorite haunted houses.
Today’s horror fans flock to haunted houses to experience live, in-your-face thrills, suspense, screams and terror. They seek that fear, REAL FEAR, only found in live experiences. Haunted houses today
are sophisticated with high tech special effects. These are the same high end effects you'd find in major motion movies and multimillion dollar theme parks. The haunted house industry is much like the
movie industry, in that it creates very emotional experiences, but the difference is motion pictures are creating movie experiences; haunted houses are creating unforgettable memories that last a
lifetime. Many times the movie industry over hypes or over sells a film. Well, haunted houses do the same. Like the movies, haunted houses have very little time to make the public aware of the product
and sell the tickets.
Today, you can find the best deals on hotels from a single website. You can find the best prices on airfare. From vacations to cars to shoes, you can read and write reviews about places and products
you’ve experienced. Thanks to www.Hauntworld.com, people who love to SCREAM now have a place to call HOME, a place to share their haunting experiences, their passions, and their love of haunted
houses and all things haunted.
John Carpenter's Halloween might have started the whole craze of fearing “the boogie man” on film, but haunted houses have taken the love of fear to the next level. This Halloween, remember what you
love about Halloween and about horror movies. Indulge in that overwhelming desire to feel real fear, and visit YOUR favorite haunted house(s) in your community, in your state, across America and
around the World.
Hauntworld.com will help you find the best haunted houses in America. With your help, we will share through social media, blogs, message boards and word-of-mouth our favorite haunted houses and
pronounce them as THE BEST haunted houses in America and around the World. This year we present our 2011 list of the best haunted houses in America, best scream parks, best hayrides and best real

Often people ask: What is a SCREAMPARK, and what is the difference between a SCREAMPARK and a haunted house? Aren't they one in the same? No, there are many differences between a
SCREAMPARK and a haunted house. A typical haunted house is usually located inside an old warehouse, a closed-down box store, or some other indoor structure, and they usually offer one attraction or
one major attraction with one or two possible side attractions. A SCREAMPARK is usually built on a large, open property such as a farm, a field or an amusement park, and they consist of multiple haunted
houses all at that one location. Many SCREAMPARKS offer a Haunted Hayride as their main attraction, where guests (or victims) board a tractor pulled hayride through scenes where actors scare and
torment causing heart pounding meters to rise. But additionally, they’ll include other attractions like different style haunted houses, corn mazes, stage shows, haunted games, haunted trails or walks
through the woods, or even a carnival. SCREAMPARKS typically have 5 or more different haunted attractions. When visiting one of America's best SCREAMPARKS you should keep in mind these events
take a long time to complete and guests may NEVER make it out alive!
Are SCREAMPARKS better than a typical haunted house? No, it’s really just a personal preference. Because they’re outdoors, SCREAMPARKS offer that authentically genuine, scary feel. But since
SCREAMPARKS are mostly outdoors, they sometimes have less access to electric and are more susceptible to weather elements. However, amazing pyrotechnics are sometimes found at outside
SCREAMPARKS, more so than typical haunted houses. Because of the outdoor element of SCREAMPARKS, most of the attractions are taken down in the off season and stored. Whereas a permanent
haunted house building might actually stays up year round for the owners to work on and improve on year round. The level of detail, design, and special FX inside a typical haunted house is difficult to
achieve at an outdoor SCREAMPARK event. Of course, there are some SCREAMPARK exceptions such as those on our list of the 13 best, biggest, and scariest HAUNTED SCREAMPARKS in America. Do
you want to be scared UNDER THE STARS, under the LIGHT OF THE MOON? Then you need to visit one of America's BEST Haunted SCREAMPARKS.

What is a corn maze? Generally located on a farm or in a field, a corn maze is trail built into a mass of corn stalks. How are they made? As the corn starts to grow in, farmers use GPS tracking to create
patterns in the corn, and from there the farmers remove the corn stalks where the customers will walk thereby creating a unique and creative design in the corn. A corn maze is usually confusing making it
hard for guests to find their way out. Corn mazes can be daytime events for family-friendly Halloween or Fall Festival fun. Or in our case, they can be HAUNTED CORN MAZES, providing nightly hauntings
where actors might stalk and torment those who dare enter. Many corn maze operators will even offer both, a fun Fall event by day and then turn the corn maze into a night time scream fest at nightfall.
Some might use special effects, animatronics, lighting, props, actors, chainsaws and more. Which are the best, scariest corn mazes in America? The best website to find corn mazes is
