2024 haunted house season opens on Friday the 13th

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Tomorrow, Friday the 13th, a couple of haunted houses are opening for the season.

With fall just around the corner and Halloween creeping closer, haunted houses and spook houses are preparing for their seasons. However, some places just can’t wait for October to share their love of the scare.

Here’s a list of haunted houses you can see starting on Sept. 13:

Hotel of Terror

The Hotel of Terror is Springfield’s longest-running haunted house — it opened in 1978! The haunted house features a four-story experience full of scares above, below and all around you. As an added bonus, the hotel is actually haunted! Check out footage of our reporters and anchors visiting the Hotel of Terror in our Frightly News segment.

Dungeons of Doom

Right across the street from the Hotel of Terror is the Dungeons of Doom. The hotel is considered the more in-your-face experience. The dungeon is more open-spaced — that’s not a good thing, believe us! You can purchase a ticket for both attractions and you might even get a ride in their hearse. Check out our Frightly News trip to the Dungeons of Doom.

Field of Screams

Nixa’s Field of Screams is one of the largest haunted attractions on this list. Dress for the weather because you’ll be taking a 3/4 mile stroll through the haunted trail, corn field and haunted forest. Watch out for some familiar monsters from your childhood. They’ll be waiting for you, like they were waiting on these reporters .
