Ghosts of the Seattle Underground

Why not enjoy a spooky twist on the Seattle Underground Tour? The underground tour is always a fun attraction, but the new Underground Paranormal Experience ensures an especially unforgettable excursion. This is definitely different than your typical walking underground tour. If you’re feeling very adventurous, this lights-off, hands-on nighttime tour is sure to fit the bill. Focused on the scarier side, it’s a visit to the underground after hours, enjoyed alongside experienced ghosthunters. The lights are off as you search for paranormal activity while roaming exclusive passageways and listening to spooky stories. Adding to the experience, investigative equipment used by trained professional paranormal investigators. It really doesn’t get better than this!

Georgetown Morgue

Have we got you in the mood for Halloween yet? Consider one of Seattle’s, and the country’s, scariest haunted houses. The Georgetown Morgue takes place in the Georgetown neighborhood, running from late September through early November. If you dare, head to this site located where one of Seattle’s most disturbing unsolved crimes took place. Purchased by Charles and Henry Broughton in 1939, an earthquake killed Charles just a few years later. In 1968, a gruesome event then stole the life of Henry and several of his employees. They were allegedly forced into a crematory and burned alive. Today, the site serves as a rather terrifying haunted house. While kids are allowed with a parent, it’s so frightening it’s best left for the grown-ups.

The Classic Corn Maze

Can you make your way through some of the spookiest corn mazes in the Seattle area? Corn mazes are some of the most popular attractions for an eerie Halloween experience. And, there’s quite a few in and around Seattle. Some of the best can be found in Snohomish, a relatively short drive away, such as Craven Farm’s Interactive Adventure Maze. Be wary of the obstacles and the rather frightening characters from well-known stories. Or head to Bob’s Corn and Pumpkin Farm. If you dare, attempt the Night Maze, forged from 12 miles of dense corn. Finally, Stocker Farms is also well worth a visit with a five-acre corn maze featuring a Kraken-inspired design, turning into creepy “Stalker” Farms after dark.

The Witches Tea

Hotel Sorrento in Seattle will host a spooky Witches Tea on Saturdays on October 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 2:30 p.m. Moreover, you can bring the whole family – this is an all ages event held in the Fireside Room. Plus, making it even more fun, attendees are encouraged to come in costume for the unique tea service.

Seattle Chocolate Haunted Factory Experience

Seattle Chocolate will host its popular haunted factory experience, ideal for those who prefer treats over tricks, providing family fun for ages 8 and up. Visit between October 17 and 20, or from October 24 to 27 when the factory is taken over by Dark Disciples. Visitors are tasked with infiltrating their ranks and solving clues to stop them. Those who succeed will be rewarded in this fun experience that’s kind of like a mix between an escape room and live theater.

Wild Waves Fright Fest

Wild Waves Theme & Water Park is transformed for the season to provide spooky fun, Fridays through Sundays October 6 to 29. Family-friendly by day, nightfall turns it into a seriously scary place. Enjoy thrills like Rides in the Dark, the new Trail of Terror, and three different haunted houses. While the water rides will be closed, there are over two dozen open amusement park rides. On Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m., don your best costume to compete in the Halloween costume contest. There are options for the little ones too, including trick-or-treating and a hay bale maze.

Maris Farms Haunted Woods

Spend a night of terror at this abandoned barn. Not for the faint-of-heart, Maris Farms Haunted Woods is jam-packed with deranged mutants and circus freaks. The maze field is your worst nightmare – you’ll have to run through and escape it before entering the haunted woods through a turbulent vortex. Just try to avoid the creepy creatures waiting around nearly every corner! If you’re looking for something truly spooky, this is it. You’ll want to be prepared for truly bone-chilling thrills.

Seattle Terrors

One of the top-rated ghost tours, Seattle Terrors reveals chilling tails that uncover the ghosts of Seattle’s rather illustrious past. You’ll delve into hidden history, experiencing supposedly real hauntings everywhere from the first elevator in the Northwest for corpses to a notorious burial ground. Learn why the dead continue to haunt the Emerald City with experienced guides providing a unique take on the ghostly chronology that enshrouds Seattle.

This is Halloween at The Triple Door

This is Halloween will tranform the famous Triple Door in Seattle between October 17 to November 2. Look forward to a dark musical fantasy that blends burlesque with video projections, live orchestral music, vocal performances, and outstanding dining.  This is an original adaptation parody of the misadventures of Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king and most-acclaimed citizen of Halloween Town. The 9 p.m. showings are 21+ but the 5 p.m. shows on Sundays are all ages.

The Nightmare on 9™ Haunted House is an indoor haunted attraction that virtually guarantees screams. Test your fears on a haunted trail that takes you back in time to an evil ghost town. See if you can make it through the long list of horrors on a quarter-mile-long walk at the Thomas Family Farm. Zombie Paintball is part of the experience that ensures a wild ride – including the chance to dodge and shoot zombies along the way. This is one you won’t ever forget, but beware, as it’s a nightmare come to life.
