Halloween around Mobile and Baldwin County is always a fun time for its residents. Trunk or treats, pumpkin patches and fall festivals are just a handful of activities available. But if you want to take your Halloween celebrations to the next level, there are several Haunted Houses around town for you to scare up a good time.
Carnival of Screams
Daphne
A popular attraction on the Eastern Shore is Carnival of Screams in the Lake Forest subdivision. The hauntingly huge display goes up October 1, with the main event being Halloween night. The 25-room maze guides panic-stricken patrons through a terrifying tour of carnival carnage. A photographer is present to capture your experience….if you survive! The event is free and considered family friendly with donations accepted.
Town of Terror – Circus Asylum
OWA
Enter Downtown OWA’s Town of Terror if you dare! Local haunted house specialists, Nightmare Chambers, has partnered with OWA to bring a frightening experience to the Gulf Coast. Promising to bring you the “circus of your nightmares,” Circus Asylum’s possessed performers and demented ringmaster will bring a chill to your bones. The fear in the “big top” begins October 5 and will run every weekend through Halloween.
Want a little less scare for your haunted house adventure? The “No Boo” Tour is an option for those who want a less frightening experience in the haunted house. “No Boo” necklaces are available for purchase for those who want to visit but don’t want the characters to spook them.
