Oldest Longest Running Haunted Houses in America
Listed below are FIVE of the longest running haunted house attractions in America. These haunts literally helped to create the haunted house tradition as we know it today across America. The Jaycee organization still has some haunts in operation from the late 70’s, and they too built a tradition, but those haunts in smaller cities don’t create the long running tradition and legacy that the haunts on this list have developed for their cities and for the entire haunted house industry as a whole. Long running haunts have not only withstood the test of time, they’ve built and improved upon their trade making their events 2nd to none. With up 20 to 30 years of experience, FX and more, these haunts are the professionals in scaring! If you want to see how fright is done right, take it from a collection of haunted attractions who combined have been open for over a 100 years!...
