Utah haunted house named a top US venue to get spooked

SALT LAKE CITY — Nightmare on 13th has been a popular Halloween attraction in Utah since 1990. Now, the haunted house is receiving national attention.

America Haunts announced that five of its U.S. haunted attractions had achieved what it calls “legendary status.”  Nightmare on 13th ranked fourth in the country. According to American Haunts, the U.S. boasts around 1,200 haunts. 

America Haunts gave props to the haunted house’s 13 nightmare themes as part of the allure claiming the attraction brings in both locals and international visitors. People can expect to see swamps, abandoned parks, factories, and crypts, as well as, “time travel into the past to face evil, madness, and fright that leaves many shivering and out of breath yet a burning desire to do it again.”
