Wells Township Haunted House

Brilliant, OH

Wells Township Haunted House is the place to be for paranormal investigators and thrill-seekers alike. Constructed in 1836, this building is believed to have been a storage location for the bodies of soldiers killed during the Civil War. Over the past century, those who've worked on this property attest to hearing strange noises and voices while in the building.

With over 10,000 square feet to explore, you may just join the ranks of those who have experienced the true paranormal activity of this place.

Field of Fear

Monclova, OH

Celebrated as one of the scariest experiences Northwest Ohio has to offer, the Field of Fear is a terrifying farm attraction sure to make your hair stand on end. Jump onto their hayride after dark and explore all of their haunts including a creepy carnival, hillbilly hell, and moonshine massacre. Along this morbid corn maze, you'll fend off ax-wielding murderers, vengeful spirits, psychotic doctors, and machines with minds of their own. At the Field of Fear, you never know what could be lurking just around the corner!

Dark View Haunt

Toronto, OH

Ride through acres and acres of Dark View Haunted Attraction to experience one of Ohio's best haunted houses that's perfect for the whole family. This attraction takes pride in providing prolonged, interactive experiences rather than a static walk-through performance. And for anyone worried about the haunt being too scary, they also provide daylight hours on select Saturdays! Along with their main spine-chilling attraction, they have an escape room, paintball range, and a stage full of events like horror film screenings and a fire artist. Dark View is pulling out all the stops to make this your most entertaining Halloween experience to date!

Panic in the Pines

Genoa, OH

Dare to embark on a spine-tingling adventure at Panic in the Pines! This Halloween season, their experience features three bone-chilling haunts in one, starting with a harrowing hayride into the depths of a 160-year-old family farm. Don't let your guard down as you navigate through eerie woods, filled with ghostly ghouls lurking in the shadows and past the abandoned Asylum where the deranged doctor is eyeing his next patient. But fear not — it's not all scares! Bring the whole family for their fall festival, complete with farm animals, barrel train rides, and other festive fun for all ages.

Haunted Hoochie by Dead Acres

Pataskala, OH

As you approach Dead Acres' Haunted Hoochie, you'll feel the heat of the flames shooting out from atop the entrance into the midnight sky, and you may start to question if you really want to enter one of the scariest attractions in the nation. Prepare yourself for a horrifying sensory overload as you journey through 50 acres of rickety log cabins, musty caverns, monster-infested swamps, and underground cellars. Face unrelenting monsters and demented sights, all created with insane attention to detail, and leave wondering how you made it out alive. Be warned: this is an extreme haunt meant for mature audiences only.
