Terror on the Coast, a 40,000-square-foot haunted attraction in Gulfport, opens its 2026 season September 18 and runs select nights through October 31. The Mississippi Gulf Coast haunt fills a warehouse with built movie sets and live actors, surrounds it with an outdoor midway of food trucks, vendors, and a full bar, and charges $25 for general admission.
Inside the warehouse haunt
Terror on the Coast runs out of the Hollywood Warehouse at 3420 Giles Road in Gulfport, an indoor haunt built inside a 40,000-square-foot space with movie-set builds and live actors. Around the haunt, an outdoor midway holds food trucks, vendor booths, photo ops, a merch shop, and a full bar run by The Crawfish House, so guests can arrive early or stay after to hang out. The operator, Sideshow Props 2.0, runs the attraction on the Gulf Coast. Inside, the haunt is called the House of Horrors, and each night starts with a live stage show before guests move into the maze. Each season, the operator recruits haunt actors, makeup artists, costumers, and set and lighting crews.
Dates, hours, and tickets
The 2026 season runs on select nights from September 18 through October 31. The midway, bar, and box office open at 6 p.m., the stage show and the haunt start at 7 p.m., and everything closes at 11 p.m., with a 10 p.m. close on Thursdays.
General admission is $25 and is good for any night of the season. A Fast FEAR ticket is $35 and skips the general-admission line while adding a front-row spot at the main stage. Tickets are sold through HauntPay, and buyers can also pay by cash or card at the box office inside the warehouse. The haunt advises it for ages 10 and up and warns of strobe effects, low visibility, damp conditions, and other intense effects. Guests are asked not to touch the props or the actors, and the operator notes the attraction is physically and emotionally challenging, so anyone with heart conditions, asthma, or claustrophobia should sit it out.
Part of a bigger Coastal Mississippi Halloween
Terror on the Coast is the main haunted attraction in a wider Halloween season on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Coastal Mississippi, the region’s tourism office, counts about a dozen October events across its towns this year, from witches’ rides and parades in Ocean Springs and Bay St. Louis to a masquerade party in Biloxi.
“Halloween in Coastal Mississippi has grown into one of our most anticipated seasons,” said Judy Young, CEO of Coastal Mississippi Tourism.
Terror on the Coast is the only dedicated haunt among them, and it sits in a state that rarely turns up in national haunt coverage. For the wider picture of when haunts open around the country, see our guide to when haunted houses open for the season.
