There’s a little more than three weeks left until Halloween, which leaves plenty of time to visit one of Salt Lake’s many haunted attractions. Here’s a list of some of the best places to face your fears and scream bloody murder 😱

Fear Factory opened in 2011 in an old cement factory that’s said to be haunted. As someone afraid of heights, walking on the bridge between buildings is especially frightful.

There’s a reason why this place was ranked in the top three haunted houses in the nation. Year after year they always raise the bar in the fear department.

Alcatraz is located near Ikea in Draper but you’re not going to find meatballs and Scandinavian furniture here. Instead, you’ll find escape rooms that have an element of terror as you try to run for your life!

Castle of Chaos is located in Midvale. It’s one of those places where the haunters can reach out and grab you (if you choose). Truly terrifying.

Where’s your favorite haunted house?
