Happy Halloween 2023! Here are the best haunted houses and attractions in metro Phoenix

In the years since numerous guests have reported being awakened in the middle of the night and unable to return to sleep because they have an overwhelming feeling of being watched. Some male guests also report the feeling of having hands placed over their mouths and throats before awakening unable to breathe. Legend has it Faith and her new husband checked into the hotel to celebrate their honeymoon. When her husband left to buy a pack of cigarettes and never returned, Faith waited for him for three days before eventually taking her own life. “Even if you don’t want to get scared, you’re still more than welcome to come out and enjoy some of the other features that we have to offer,” Busse said. According to Busse, the team at Fear Farm starts now wrapping their heads around the plans for next year.

The hotel was originally built in 1902 and survived three major fires that nearly destroyed the town over the course of just a few years. Today, the Oatman Hotel is a well-known destination for paranormal enthusiasts and welcomes curious visitors from far and wide. "I understand the cancellation and appreciate the concern for guests' safety, but it was still a major letdown and I'm going to miss it this year," she said. "The owners and workers are so friendly and fun, and the haunted house never disappoints."

About This Attraction:

Here are the Halloween 2023 haunted houses and attractions in metro Phoenix. While the hotel no longer provides overnight accommodations for guests, visitors can still enjoy a bar and restaurant on the ground floor and a museum on the upper floors. Some of the hotel’s more famous alleged spirits include Clark Gable and his wife Carole Lombard who stayed at the hotel during their honeymoon in 1939 and are believed to still inhabit their honeymoon suite. The couple has been caught whispering to each other and laughing together in the suite. In between ghost encounters, guests can enjoy their stay in a variety of modern rooms and have lunch and dinner on-site at the award-winning Asylum Restaurant during their visit.

THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE 2023 SEASON

Mayhem in the Madness is all about chaos and disorder, while Startled Darkness features spiders, snakes and clowns in a dark, confined space. Most of the paranormal encounters reported at the Hassayampa Inn involve a ghost named Faith. If you're looking for a unique experience on your next visit to northern Arizona, consider a stop at one of these hotels that some have claimed over the years are haunted. Ghost hunters have long claimed northern Arizona boasts a unique history of paranormal encounters — especially in some of the region's oldest hotels. Fear Farm is an outdoor haunted attraction that takes up about 30 acres, with five separate individual content attractions. "This year, we couldn’t see how you can do a haunted house with social distancing," Richard Stoudt told The Republic.

The second new show is called the Depths of Darkness and is centered around a cult who worships Cthulhu and is nautically based. There are overgrown fish mutant species, sirens and a lighthouse. Busse noted that although Fear Farm has grown and started working with a newer company, it is still very much family oriented. Terror Nights is a "really fun tradition that (my mom and I) always look forward to," said Jacqueline Bryniarski of Tempe. "With everything that's happened this year, we were really looking forward to the scares of Terror Nights to get us into the Halloween spirit." The attractions will be sanitized at the beginning and the end of each evening and there will be pumpkin-spice scented hand sanitizer for guests.

The second floor houses a Theater Room Museum where distinct outlines of sleeping bodies have been found in the dust on the beds — sightings that have been attributed to a former chambermaid. In the downstairs bar, spirits often lift money off the bar and raise glasses into the air. Much of the current hotel harkens back to its history including still being serviced by the original 1926 Otis elevator and the 1926 Kewanee Boiler to provide steam heat throughout the building. He appears as a shadow against the wall, but nobody has reported seeing a full apparition. Guests have often reported seeing the ghosts of a doctor carrying a clipboard, a female nurse and a female patient in a gown wandering the halls together. Appearances of the Women of the Night are connected to room 306, where two prostitutes were killed and thrown from the third floor to the street below in the early 1940s.

COVID-19 precautions for Halloween 2020

Busse emphasized the great team he works with and how they pour their hearts and souls into building the attractions all year long. The attraction has changed out its Fallout New Nuketown to Infestation, which is irradiated, life-size bugs that are there to eradicate the human species. There will be physical distancing markers in queues and throughout the venues, and indoor lines will be limited. Fewer tickets will be sold per time slot to ensure guests can remain distanced. The living dead, Bloody Mary, clowns and monsters will inhabit the attractions at Fear Farm and 13th Floor Haunted House this year. The 13th Floor Haunted House — which is owned by the same company as Fear Farm — returns for Halloween 2023 with haunted experiences including The Deadlands, Repossessed and Depths of Darkness.

Here's how Phoenix haunted houses will be different this year. Fear Farm and 13th Floor Haunted House, two of the most popular Halloween haunted houses in metro Phoenix, will open in September. Regular-price general admission tickets are timed and start at $27.99. Add-ons include a fast pass, which has an estimated wait time that's a third of the regular line, and a skip the line, which allows "immediate access."

Terror Nights Haunted House is back for its 13th season in Tempe. This year, Fear Farm has two new themes as well as continuing some of its preexisting shows with some changes. They will have a yard display that can be seen from the street or the sidewalk, depending on a visitor's comfort level.

The family-run House of Haunts in Scottsdale is back for five nights leading up to Halloween. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section, then check out our previous article for more terrifying destinations in Arizona that’ll make your spooky season one to remember. General admission ranges from $24.99 – $32.99 depending on the night. For an extra $10 per person, a Fast Pass reduces your wait time by 1/3, and for $20, you can skip the line entirely.

The Platinum VIP Experience (mentioned above) starts at $99.99 per person, the also includes free parking in a VIP lot, a souvenir lanyard, and discounted soft drinks.

Guests also might hear an unexpected knock at the door and a muffled voice announcing “room service” courtesy of The Phantom Bellboy. Some people have reported seeing the figure of a bellboy standing outside of room 210, including legendary actor John Wayne during a few of his stays at the hotel. Guests and employees have reported hearing crying throughout the hotel and noticed the disappearance of random objects over the years. Others have reported feeling cold spots in the honeymoon suite where the smell of flowers often emanates from the empty room.
