‘Tis the season—and if you’re anything like me, all the festive cheer and bright lights, gifts and decorations, bring along their own sense of dread. Maybe it’s the fact that another year is about to end, or that we’re going to have to interact with our (extended) families once again, along with all the anxiety and awkward conversations that entails. Whatever the reason for this seasonal unease, there’s something cathartic about being able to find an escape in the form of horror.
If you thought haunts only happened during Halloween season, you’re in for a real surprise (or should I say, scare?). Haunts continue across November and well into the holidays. Though some of the themes may shift, swapping out Michael Myers or other ghouls for deranged renditions of elves and perhaps Krampus himself, the spirit of the haunt remains as much about a good immersive scare.
We scoured the country seeking out some of the best holiday haunts perfect for a holiday escape.
