Iowa-based haunted house information, since 2010. Posting haunted house videos since 2006.
I did not have the hours for Slaughterhouse listed on the site, but did put them in the calendar. I was using the ticket sale site and guessing at the hours, but they were wrong. The index and calendar should now be updated for the rest of the month:
Thursdays and Sundays, 7pm to 10pm.
Fridays and Saturdays, 7pm to Midnight.
Rock on!
I am very happy with how many haunts (and related activities) I have found so far this season. If you know of any I have missed, please let me know.
HAUNTS: I try to do a daily post on Facebook with which haunts are open that day. I get this information from my Calendar page. When I was going through it today, I noticed several mistakes I made. I have corrected those, but I expect I may still have some missing dates or wrong hours. Take a moment to check the calendar, and your listing in the index. I appreciate your help in getting your information updated on this site. Thanks!
There is another haunted car wash, this time in Grimes. It will also operate Oct 27-28, 2023 from 7pm to 10pm.
Fine out more: Tunnel of Terror
The new Rocket Carwash location in Altoona is having a Haunted Tunnel carwash on October 27-28 from 7pm to 10pm. The haunted car wash is free to members, or $15 to others.
In a comment on the Oasis Car Wash Facebook page, they confirmed there will be no haunted car wash this year.
That’s a pity. I hear this one really did scare the dirt off your vehicle quite well…
After the big Covid drop in 2020, things have slowly been picking up for this site. As of October 18th, this site has already had 13.29% more visitors than all of October 2022. Last year, the site saw a 40% increase in visitors from the previous year. I am curious to see where things end up after October 31 this year.
Something I just added last week is a “Visitors” count on every page. I used to have one on my old site, but that was a script I wrote myself and had full control over. This one is more questionable, since it tries to define who is a ‘bot, and it doesn’t seem to like folks using privacy software (such as Apple’s anti-tracking features). At least I can see numbers that are larger or smaller from hour to hour and get an idea of how many folks are visiting throughout the day.
From last nights KCCI news:
According to a post on their Facebook page, Future Nightmares is adding Thursday and Sunday to their schedule this week:
Remember, dates and times (and even prices) can and do change. Always check with the official website before heading out.
10/20/2023 – ARTICLE MOVED to a new page on this site.
Another VR arcade near downtown has a horror-themed virtual reality escape room experience. I’ll update the listing with more information once I have it — hopefully we can stop by soon and see what they offer.
