The House of Horror Haunted Carnival (Miami, FL) will return for its 21st frightful installment September 28th – October 31st. The Master of the Carnival, Mr. Lockhart, has awakened his cursed spirits from the dead – dripping with blood, brimming with malice, and hungry to feast on terrorized souls – all.

This year, four brand-new haunted attractions will terrorize guests: Mayhem Museum, Haunted HoliDAZE, Theater of Terror, and Scare X Studios. If you’re more of a thrill-seeker, the House of Horror midway is an absolute must-visit with over twenty exhilarating rides – including the Scarecoaster (a Halloween-themed rollercoaster) – as well as carnival games and a tempting variety of food and beverages. Tickets are on sale now ranging from $20 – $50.
