NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

The Haunt in Atascadero is a constantly evolving, fully immersive, and interactive horror attraction inspired by classic Halloween themes. Unlike traditional haunted houses, it delivers an intimate, personal, and truly horrifying encounter.

At The Haunt, only small groups are allowed through the doors simultaneously. You don’t know what’s in front or behind you. It’s developed with highly realistic situations for the best of scares.

TICKET OPTIONS

⚠️ Please note: Not every experience is available on all days.

“Be the first ones to experience it!”

About Time Slots:
When you select a time slot (example: 7:30 PM), this does not guarantee you will enter the haunt at that exact time. Time slots are designed to manage crowd flow. Entry depends on the queue line and the time it takes groups ahead of you to move through the haunt. Please plan for potential wait times — and enjoy the scares, live entertainment, and atmosphere while you wait! 👻

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Never knew this was a yearly Halloween attraction in Atascadero. Drove 45 mins to take our daughter to her first haunted house and boy was it worth it. It’s seriously impressive and truly scary. I screamed the whole time. Probably one of the best haunted houses I’ve been to. I look forward to next year.”
“We drove from Lompoc CA, to come here. By far the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. The character's put on a amazing performance of thrill. The set up in the 18 rooms were well thought out and very scary. My daughters first experience as well as my boyfriend. We screamed the whole way through.”
"I went there with my 10 friends and it was really amazing. The best haunted house I have visited so far. The entire maze has multiple rooms with scary actors which make sure you get goosebumps. We did the night terror in which the rooms are totally dark and you have a lantern in hand."
"Absolutely phenomenal! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was truly blown away. Only wish I could’ve spent more time looking around at all the insane decorations/work that went into each room (unreal), but my 12 year old daughter was not about to stop. 😂 Fabulous work, everyone involved! Can’t wait to see what you guys do next!"
