There are thousands of haunts across the United States, but there are few that truly set themselves apart. Once you enter a haunt you have to be convinced that you're in an actual haunted house taken over by spirits and creatures from beyond. Many haunts fail in doing this because they rely heavily on overused themes that have no connection to each other. A haunt that will ultimately go down as a classic doesn't have to have the latest in animatronics or the Hollywood sets. They need to make a connection with the customer beyond a prop emerging out of darkness or an actor hidden in a scene. Haunted Spook Coop (Waynesville, OH)

One of Cincinnati's frightful favorites and one of Ohio's oldest haunts is The Dent School House (formerly The Haunted House). For years this haunt has been one of the best haunts in Ohio, but as the years passed and more and more haunts popped up in the Cincinnati area, The Dent School House started to become outdated. While using old props and outdated themes along with actors who were there more for the experience than acting, the classic started going down hill.
But thankfully in 2006 someone stepped up to the plate and took over the old Dent School House. The creators of the home haunts Majestic Nightmare and Nightmare Manor stepped up to the plate and The Dent School House would become the classic it once was. Nearly 100% of the entire haunt was changed from scenes to props and customers couldn't be happier about the results. For years The Dent School House used the story of how Charlie the janitor murdered the students of the schoolhouse and buried their bodies in the walls. But the owners took that story line to another level and made nearly 75% of each room and scene revolves around the haunted school storyline. And as a result The Dent School House became one of the most improved haunts in Ohio and one of the best in the nation. Not only were the scenes extremely detailed and convincing, the actors were top notch thanks to their acing director Randy Paterson of the former Nightmare Estates. Actors from Nightmare Estates and charity haunt Dungeons of Delhi saw the big changes 1031 productions was making to this haunt and many of them decided to become part of the team. The Dent School House strives to become better by the year and has changed the face of Cincinnati haunts. ![]() Baxter Avenue Morgue (Louisville, KY)
Baxter Avenue Morgue is possibly one of the most underrated haunts in the country. Since opening in 2000 it has gained a cult status due to its frightening realism and creepy scenes. Although Baxter Avenue Morgue may not take place in an actual morgue, the creators work hard in convincing people that it does. Once you arrive at the morgue a sense of dread may go down you back. This is due to the convincing story of the haunted morgue that chronicles its tragic past and strange occurrences. Before you enter the morgue you are welcomed by the current owner Warren Vanderdark who warns you of what lies behind the morgue's doors. Once you enter the basement of the morgue you soon find out why this haunt is so infamous. This haunt is dark and confining where every scene blends together seamlessly to create a haunting story. The Baxter Avenue Morgue is truly one of those haunts that you must visit once in your lifetime. It's that good and the actors who play parts in the various scenes are incredible. Much of the staff is comprised of students from the local school of creative and performing arts and on select days a local dance troop reenacts the classic Thriller video for the crowd waiting in line. In 2007 the original directors Joey Arena and Verity Jones left Baxter Avenue Morgue to work on their latest project Otherworld. It's a haunt that gives customers the choice of what path to take and the haunt promises to have things that you've never seen in any other haunt before. But even though the original creative directors have left Baxter Avenue Morgue still is one of the nation’s most bone chilling haunts that doesn’t seem to miss a step. ![]() The Haunted Hotel is Louisville’s longest running haunt and for good reason. Intensity doesn’t begin to describe this haunt. When you first arrive at The Haunted Hotel you’ll notice that the street has been blocked off by cop cars because this haunt is that popular. And once you enter you’ll know exactly why. You’ll first enter into a haunted elevator that has been taken over by a deformed pig creature. The lights begin to flash as the creature presses its buttons and all Hell breaks loose. The elevator uncontrollably shakes as sounds of steel can be heard as the elevator is ready to crash. Make sure and hold onto something before you fall over. Their version of the Hellevator cost over $10,000 alone before the modifications. Finally after a few minutes the ride is over and you’re on the 13th floor. This is when the real fun begins as you venture into unique rooms that have scenes perfectly timed to music and lights. Some of the rooms you’ll experience are a haunted kitchen full or a moving cabinet doors, a haunted bedroom, a fun house and even a live nude shower scene that squirts people as they peep through the glass. You would pray that your trip into terror was over, but that was only the inside area of the haunt. The outside area includes various scenes and one of the most intense chainsaw mazes you will ever experience. The Haunted Hotel pulls no punches with their mix of intense actors and well-timed scenes. It’s truly one of those haunts that people look forward to all year round. ![]() Industrial Nightmare (Jeffersonville, IN)
There are many haunts that are doing big things in the industry that are innovative and down right awe-inspiring. Industrial Nightmare is one of these haunts, but it hasn’t always been the impressive haunt it is today. Back when Industrial Nightmare first opened it was known as the mother of all haunted houses and at the time it deserved that honor. But slowly scenes were removed and it just seemed like the owners were making a haunt just for the sake of profit. At one point to give it the appearance of a brand new haunt, the name was changed from Industrial Nightmare to Fear Factory. But most people caught on to what was occurring. But thankfully in 2006 Terry Cambell the owner of The Haunted Hotel decided to take ownership of Industrial Nightmare and Todde Moore would take over The Haunted Hotel. Terry Cambell was determined to bring Industrial Nightmare back to its glory days and was on a mission to make a big impact on the haunt industry. Unfortunately there was a huge flood and much of the new props were destroyed that were to be used for 2006. But either way it was a huge improvement with enhanced scenes, timed scares and very impressive animatronics. But 2007 would mark a new beginning for Industrial Nightmare. It was essentially a brand new haunt with new innovative scenes never before seen in a haunt and much of the industrial factory theme was removed to make room for authentic horror movie scenes that you would think were made in a movie studio. Movie scenes such as Freddy's Boiler Room, Camp Crystal Lake, Michael Myers Escape, and Pin Heads Chain room have been incorporated into the haunt and are some of most detailed I've seen. Other rooms include a haunted bathroom, clown room, shrinking hall way and much more. But the most impressive and innovative rooms goes to the laser light claustrophobia room. You’ll first see bright flashing laser lights off in the distance as you walk down a ramp. Once you are on flat ground you’re trapped by large black air bags that go on forever. It’s the largest claustrophobia room you’ll ever experience and really replicates the feeling of drowning in a black swamp. But if this wasn’t enough there were two more haunts at the 50,000 square foot Industrial Nightmare Complex. Once you exited Industrial Nightmare you walked straight into the next line for Dementions. While Dementions |
