PALMER, Mass. (WWLP) – Scary Overload has ranked 13th World Fright Park in Palmer, as one of the top haunted houses in the country for 2024.
The popular New England attraction secured the No. 8 spot on the list, gaining recognition for its terrifying combination of indoor and outdoor haunts that deliver heart-pounding scares.
Scary Overload, a leading online source for all things horror, described 13th World as a “must-see for the Halloween season,” praising its mile-long trail filled with immersive sets and creative frights. “New England doesn’t mess around when it comes to horror,” the Scary Overload editors wrote. They highlighted the park’s unique mix of traditional haunted house elements and innovative, fear-inducing experiences.

It’s an honor to be named one of the scariest haunted houses in America and to be recognized alongside other top haunts across the country.”
The 2024 season at 13th World kicks off on Saturday, September 28, with several spine-chilling attractions, including Moonlight Mayhem , which takes guests through a series of nightmares starting at the Moonlight Motel, and the Hell Fire House , a twisted maze of fog and fire.
