Denver’s Top 3 Haunted Houses

Come Halloween time in Colorado, we are really lucky to have so many great attractions to visit.  With there being so many haunted houses to choose from we have decided to give some direction on the top ones to visit.  There isn’t anything fun about waiting in line and being disappointed once you finally make it through the house.  If you can’t tell we’ve done it more times than we’d have liked to so we’ve rated Denver’s top 3 haunted houses.

1.) The Asylum (303-355-3327)

Located at 120th & I-25, the Asylum offers a  Before entering the haunt, everyone waiting in line gets to stare down the creepy facade of a creepy busted down old Asylum. Once inside, this place seriously looks like you might imagine a real Asylum might look if it were taken over by some evil inmates. The use of lighting was great to add to the suspense.  It’s scare factor is intense and is quite lengthy which makes the Asylum one of our top Denver haunted houses.

2.) 13th Floor (303-355-FEAR)

Located at 6100 E. 39th Ave in Denver, the 13th Floor is one of the most affordable haunted houses for its length.  We were extremely excited with the news of adding more space to the haunted house even though it was already one of the largest in the area.  The 13th Floor is a must see in Colorado, especially with the planned 2009 additions!  I don’t think there are better actors in the Denver area and the attention to detail in the house makes the 13th Floor in the top 3 Denver haunted houses.

3.) Frightmare (303-439-7391)

Located at 108th and Old Wadsworth, Frightmare is one of the best outdoor haunted attractions in Denver.  Although the price is lower than the average haunted houses in Denver, it’s not limited on scares!  After you leave this place you won’t want to walk alone outside again.  The actors are pretty good and the setting is even better! This haunted house brings 25 years of experience and was named 2008 Best outdoor Haunt.  Your Halloween won’t be complete without visiting Frightmare.

Make sure you check out all of these haunted houses so you don’t miss out of Denver’s scariest attractions.  If you can’t make all 3 this fall, I wouldn’t want to be the one who has to choose which of these 3 you miss!

Here is a video we found on Youtube of a guy who thinks he is communicating with an “orps”.  Althought we have found many ghost stories entertaining and believalbe, we can’t decide on this one.  What do you think?

“This is probably the best evidence to date that orbs can be perceptive intelligent spiritual energies rather than the sceptical view that they are dust.” (guy in the video)

13th Floor Haunted House Review

Haunted House Review by: David (Source: www.haunteddenver.com)

RATING Rating

REVIEW

13th floor is the newest haunt by the people who created the Asylum haunted house up by Boondocks fun center. Arriving at the haunt, it is a bit deceiving; it is certainly not tall enough for 13 Floors. It may be two stories
tall. Our expectations for a tall building are quickly changed when we were greeted by one of the haunt’s “Hosts”. We were asked, “What’s wrong with this building?” Obviously it’s too short. Then the English accent let us know that it’s not above ground as we were ushered through the door.

Once in the building you are given the option to go through a “Sideshow”. This obviously campy section had quite a few strange and classic things you might expect at a circus freak show or state fair. They had an alien body,
bearded lady and other strange sights. For people interested in such things it may be a great way to pass some of the time while waiting in line for the main attraction.

Once finished with the freaks the haunt attempts to transport you to a different plane of existence. You are first placed into a creepy elevator supposing to take you to the non-existing 13th floor. After a creepy ride down with some strange “Workers” you are let out on Floor 13. This floor looks like it’s under some sort of construction, but there are a lot of things you would never expect. There are tons of things from old cars with rednecks working on them to specters. There are also parts trying to play on phobias from claustrophobia to bugs and snakes.

The characters are really the spotlight of this attraction. They have some really scary and twisted people hanging around to give you a few scares. A couple of note able mentions are the woman in the dress and the guy with the strait jacket. I also liked the room with multiple doors where there is a creepy person trying to get you to go the wrong way.

Not everything is fantastic however. There were a few items that for my tastes were not hidden enough. I saw speakers and fog machines that could have maybe been concealed a bit more for instance. There are ways that these items could be hidden into the environment by hiding them in the wall or building them in to a prop. Also, I could in a couple of places hear the music from the freak show. This may be a bit more difficult to remedy likely because of the areas not being sealed off completely.

Overall, for a first year new haunt this was really great. It’s a fun haunt that proposes that the hidden 13th floor of a building is hidden for a very good
reason.

PROS

Atmosphere, a few good actors, cool but strange idea for line entertainment

CONS

Some things should be more concealed, some environments need to be separated
