Got a pre-existing heart condition, weak stomach or bladder? Don’t even bother to come in. At least, that’s the disclaimer at the 13th Gate Haunted House downtown. And you’d better believe it: Hauntworld Magazine recently voted the spooky lair the No. 2 most haunted attraction in America.
The 13th Gate is an indoor-outdoor journey into fear, testing its victims’ nerve every step of the way. Crawling through a crematory, trekking an old bridge and getting lost in underground tunnels await the brave. Enter if you dare on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights through Oct. 20, and then nightly through Nov. 3.
If 13th Gate is a little too creepy for you, check out these other ghoulish options this Halloween season.
