This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Buffalo chapter.

My favorite season is spooky season! I have always loved horror movies, I love getting scared and feeling that adrenal rush. Some people call me crazy, but honestly, this happens once a year, everyone should go out and try at least one Haunting Attraction! I have listed some attractions in Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

FrightWorld; America’s Screampark

1001 Hertel Ave, Buffalo, NY 14216

Tickets: 5 House Pass $40 & VIP Frightpass $55

There are 5 different attractions that are at Frightworld and all the attractions are walkthroughs. There’s the Carnival Boneyard, Grindhouse, Night Stalkers, Eerie State Asylum, and Insanity. All of these are terrifying, they’re so fun to go with a group of friends. This haunted house has been in Buffalo for 20 years, so you know it is SCARY.

The Haunted Forest

2860 Beebe Road Newfane, NY 14108 

Tickets: $38.99 (online) & $45 (walk-up)

The Haunted Forest has many different attractions. There is a Haunted Hayride that takes you through the journey of horror history. This is where people sit on a coaster and get spooked. There also is a Haunted Barn that is a walk-through. This is known to be scary with scary characters coming at you. There is also the Fear Zone which is a miniature town that is filled with horror characters.

7 Gates Screampark 

6229 Williams Road, Niagara Falls, NY 14304

Tickets: $29.99 (general) & $44.99 (VIP)

This is a newer park that has opened up near Niagara Falls. There are three walk-through haunted attractions. The Den of Demons has got more of a satanic touch. The Last Chop is more of a butcher shop vibe, and it’s a walk-through on a deserted road. Dark Terminal sounds like one of my favorites, it’s more of an abandoned train terminal. I definitely think I will be visiting this attraction. There are other add-ons at this place, there are escape rooms, haunted games, and hatchet throwing. From the reviews, the Haunted House has been a success!
