So w hat makes a haunted house one of the best and scariest in America 2012? There are several things a paying customer might look for in a haunted attraction prior to buying a ticket. There are so

attraction and an indoor haunted house? In most cases, the indoor haunted house w ill have the best attention to detail, sets and special FX. How ever, the screampark style attractions w ill offer more
variety, longer attractions and typically more bang for the buck.

over-the-top efforts trying to be the biggest, the baddest and the scariest haunted houses on the planet. The haunts that have that WOW factor can make their guests scream, PLUS they provide horrific
