And with this, my haunted house videos for 2023 are done. For now. There may be another one focusing on the Krampus event coming up on December 2nd, and maybe something about the horror-themed speakeasy, The Haunt, opening up later this month as well. But until then, this is it…

A second Slaughterhouse video interview
On Halloween night we visited Slaughterhouse and finally got to see it at its current location. I’d seen it at three different spots over the year, so I think the only one I missed was the very first year in 2010 when it was “Big Al’s Slaughterhouse.”
I will have a whole recap of the attraction, but for now, here’s Lefty…
Tunnel of Terror video
Ever wonder just what a “haunted car wash” is? So did we, so we visited Tommy’s Express Tunnel of Terror last week and found out. This video is mostly raw footage of what they were doing outside the car wash, and then a few snippets of things they had inside. It was mostly lots of clowns with knives messing with people in their car 😉 FUN! And my car now shiny again.
Review on Google, Yelp, Facebook…
After you are done voting, please help others know where to spend their money by reviewing the haunted houses on Facebook, Google and Yelp.
Facebook is important since it shows up high in search results. Google is important because that’s what Android phones use. Yelp is important because those are the reviews that show up on iPhone. (Obviously you can use Google and Facebook on anything, but it’s important to note that Yelp is a default for iPhone reviews.)
To make it easier, I have made this page with links to all the haunt’s review pages:

Linn’s Haunted House on WHO13
This was a very fun report. Good job.
Slaughterhouse video interview
Earlier this afternoon we swung through downtown Des Moines to speak with Ian Miller about The Slaughterhouse. I had not seen the place since it moved to this new Locust Street location, and I was blown away. I had assumed they were still the “pig rendering factory” I had seen in past visits, but this is an all-new experience. It was not at all what I was expecting, and I can’t wait to see it with the lights off. Or themed lights on. Whatever. Here’s the video.
Tormented Souls video interview
Last night, we stopped by Tormented Souls Haunt and Scream Park. The vibe was very fun. We spent a few minutes talking to Auntie Mayhem.
Bouton Haunted Church video interview
Just a short drive from Des Moines is Bouton, Iowa where an old church building has been turned in to a haunted house. It is only $5, and more than worth it. The funds go to the firefighters there (who also operate this haunted house). The haunt has all kinds of stuff in it — dark twisty hallways, creepy folks waiting for you in corners, clowns, unexpected blasts of air … it was a great time.
