13th Gate welcomes victims … er, visitors

Halloween is looming—have you gotten into the spooky spirit yet? The nation’s premiere haunted house is right here in Baton Rouge. The terrifying 13th Gate opens Friday for the first time this season, offering 40,000 square feet of thrills, chills and pants-wetting terror. A construction crew and cast of more than 100 professional actors, makeup artists and costumers rose to the challenge of making this year the biggest test of your courage yet. But if one haunted house doesn’t offer enough thrills for you, victims—er, visitors—can opt for the sister attraction across the street: an outdoor New Orleans-style cemetery called Necropolis 13. Hiding in its shadows will be 50 actors in full costume as vampires, zombies and other undead horrors. Find out more at midnightproduction.com.
