Pennhurst Asylum Grows Deadly

September 30, 2023

Mr. Dark

The first thing that strikes you is how imposing the building is. The small cupola on top of the roof lit from within, the broad stone façade covered in rows of windows, with a strong, stone-pillared porch front and center at the entrance. It wasn’t built with warmth or a welcoming spirit in mind. It […]

Fear Factory in Salt Lake City Manufactures Scares

September 30, 2023

BloodStorm

Factories can be scary on their own, but an old, empty, actually-haunted factory is truly scary. Building a world-class “Best Haunts in the U.S.” level haunted house inside that haunted factory is over the top scary! Fear Factory in Salt Lake City, Utah, checks all those marks and ranks as one of the scariest attractions […]

September 30, 2023

Mr. Dark

Evil Intentions is an infamous haunted attraction on the outskirts of Chicago in Elgin, IL. They’ve got the usual stuff a great haunt has: excellent actors, solid special effects, an amazing story, killer costumes and makeup…but there’s something they have that no other haunt in the world has. They’re in a former CASKET FACTORY. That’s […]

Try To Escape Eloise Asylum

September 29, 2023

Mr. Dark

Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat. Eloise is real. The Asylum? Real. It was a real asylum. The complex was started way back in 1832 as a poor house, eventually growing to 72 buildings. All that’s left now? 4 of the buildings and the cemetery. To say the site has been through […]

Brighton Asylum Cranks Up The Pressure

September 29, 2023

Mr. Dark

On Brighton Ave. in Passaic, NJ, there’s a big row of very old industrial buildings. They go back a hundred years or more. It’s a mix of warehouses, studio spaces, commercial buildings, and empty shells now. The usual kind of thing you’d expect from aging brick in the old part of a town like Passaic. […]

Midnight Terror Brings Fear To Chicagoland

September 29, 2023

Mr. Dark

Chi-Town is a metro area that’s infamous for a lot of things. Everyone knows the history of organized crime back in the day, with folks like Capone leaving the joint carpeted with corpses. It’s been known in recent decades for being, shall we say, more than a little prone to political shenanigans. In the land […]

Blood Prison Goes Beyond The Scare

September 29, 2023

Mr. Dark

The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield is famous. Only word for it. We’ve all seen it. It’s been in movies, TV shows, documentaries, you name it. It might be the most famous prison in the nation not named Alcatraz. Wherever you may know it from, the reality is darker. Bad men were housed here. Bad […]

Dare to Explore The Legends Of The Fog

September 28, 2023

Mr. Dark

Between Baltimore and Philadelphia, near where the Susquehanna River empties into the Chesapeake Bay, there’s a farm. In the Fall, that farm gets covered with thick fog most nights, often so thick you can’t see far in front of you. Nobody knows why, not even the owners. That farm and that fog are the location […]
