Haunted Houses to Check Out

Undre Jordan, Staff Writer

Even though a Varsity Football game against Legacy High School is scheduled on Halloween, there should still be time to check out some haunted houses with your friends.

Slaughterhouse (2615 Elm St., Dallas) has been open for 10 years now and is the oldest haunted house in the area. Slaughterhouse is not intended for children under the age of 10 due to the graphic set-up. This haunted house will be open every weekend of October from 8 p.m.–12 a.m.

If you’re not into haunted houses, but you want to experience true terror go and visit Southlake’s very own Nightmare on Quail Creek – Haunted Forest (904 Quail Creek Court). This area will have all the creatures that you fear in one place, and surviving the night won’t be easy. If you feel like you won’t be able to handle it, there is a kids’ section for the less brave. All of this will start at 8 p.m. and end at 11 p.m., every Friday and Saturday this month.

Some people think that haunted houses aren’t scary. If you are one of them, you can always hit up the Strangling Brothers Haunted Circus (3880 Irving Mall, Irving). It promises an hour full of terror. After experiencing this situation, you could easily become afraid of clowns. Guests will be sent through 29 rings of upmost terror. This frightening attraction will be open every weekend night in October from 9 p.m.–12 a.m.

Finally, if want the most well known haunted house, my suggestion would have to be Moxley Manor (510 Harwood Road, Bedford). This haunted house has been featured in the media for how scary it is and it was even featured in the film, “The House’s October Built.” It is regularly voted a must-see haunted house by news outlets and will give you the best experience. If you’re interested Moxley Manor, the house will be open every weekend night from 8 p.m.–12 a.m.

Whichever horror house is for you, be sure to have a safe but frightening night.
