The Shallow Grave
October 3 to November 1
701 42nd NW Winter Haven, FL
Looking for more scary
events in Orlando this Halloween? The Shallow Grave, with its brand of
authentic American horror fun, should be a great place to visit with your
friends! Halloween thrill-seekers will love this haunted attraction’s themed
maze that you and your party of 6 or less people will explore on foot. Learn
the story of Thaddeus, a graveyard caretaker after the time of the Great
Depression that turned to cannibalism and murder to feed his hungry family. The
mutilated corpses soon become the undead, and they haunt the graveyard, all
seeking to exact revenge against Thaddeus. The “caretaker”, however, can hold
his own against the undead, and still prowls the graveyard for any unwitting
soul that stumbles into him, ripe for his macabre dinner preparations. Do you think
you can survive Thaddeus and the Shallow Grave’s undead? Purchase a ticket for
$17 (General Admission), $25 (Combo Pass), and $40 (Quick Death Pass).
A Petrified Forest 2015
Open all October weekends,
7:30 onwards
1360 E. Alamonte Dr,
Alamonte Springs FL
Another horror scarefest
this October is A Petrified Forest, a haunted trail in Alamonte Springs.
Starting only when daylight ends, this Halloween attraction is not for the
faint of heart. Experience treading through a dark swamp haunted with the spirits
of a ship that long ago lost its passengers’ souls to The Abyss. Choose to
enter the ship to confront the ghosts where they live, or find your way through
the forests to seek your way out of the maze. Whatever your choice, expect
endless spooks and thrills throughout your entire visit! Those seeking an
extra-scary adventure should go on Total Eclipse Nights, where each person is
given one glow stick which the ghosts may try to steal throughout their course
in the trail. Purchase tickets at $12 presale, or $15 at the gates (CASH ONLY,
ATM on-site).
Halloween is a national
culture that promises fun activities, awesome parties, and spooky thrills.
Orlando, being one of the entertainment capitals of the country, promises that
and more these last few weeks of October. These are only a few of the amazing
things to do in Orlando for Halloween, and there are so much more to see around
