13 Haunted Attractions Near Delaware You'll Want To Visit This Fall

It's almost October, and that means Spooky Season is upon us.  Haunted houses, hayrides, haunted walks and Halloween.  This is one of the most anticipated times of the year.   We look forward to summer all winter long and then we get sick and tired of the super hot weather.  It's that time of year to trade in our bathing suits, flip flops and sunglasses for flannels, costumes and pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!

No matter your age or your level of thrill tolerance, you should be able to find something for everyone.  Whether for a fun night out with friends, a haunting date night or for some weekend family fun.   Disclaimer:  some of these places are REALLY creepy, so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before going.

My 15-year old son isn't a huge fan of scary things and he absolutely loves Bates Motel.  By the time October comes to an end I will have heard "Can I go to Bates?" more times than I'd care to remember.  Haha! Teenagers, right?  Gotta love them!

So without further ado, we've put together a list of some of the hottest and most haunted attractions near the Delaware area.

Enter if you dare!  (Insert creepy music here).
