It's almost that time of year!

Who doesn't enjoy a chilling, skin-crawling good ghost story?

Mark your calendars for the date of October 5th. More on that coming up.

I have heard stories about great haunted attractions in Atlanta, Tampa, St. Louis, and a famous Las Vegas haunted/torture deal.

You can see some of that insanity below.

Now, back to that date I mentioned earlier October the 5th.

West Alabama is lucky to have a top-notch scary attraction for just about all ages.

The Horror of Tuscaloosa is truly a major-league haunted attraction that you would expect to be in a much larger city.

However, it is located in Cottondale, Alabama. Yes, it's HERE in the Tuscaloosa area and it is fantastic.

WHAT SCARES YOU?

Do serial killers scare you?

Are ghosts or shadow people the ones who get you?

What about the supernatural and evil demons?

It's different for everyone.

The Horror Tuscaloosa is a multi-themed 47-room haunted attraction located in Cottondale, Alabama.

I have been to haunted attractions in St. Louis, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Orlando at Universal Studios. Yeah, they have some good haunted attractions but The Horror Tuscaloosa is on par with those attractions.

In many cases our local attraction in Tuscaloosa is even better than those places.

Plus, it has 47 rooms to go through with your group.

Think about that for a moment. 47 ROOMS!

How many? Yeah, I said FORTY SEVEN DANG ROOMS.

That is not the norm and definite proof that you get your money's worth.

Multiple reports from last Halloween make it clear that tons of Alabamians are discovering The Horror Tuscaloosa and you may have to wait in line due to high demand.

The reviews online and on social media have been absolutely great. I would like to issue one bit of advice when going to this attraction.

It's CRITICAL to get to The Horror Tuscaloosa early in the evening before they sell out.

That's to be expected when the product is superior. In my view, this is the best in Alabama.

October 5th is opening night and there is some additional big news to report.

The crew from The Horror Tuscaloosa tell us they are offering an INFLATION BUSTER deal.

Ticket prices are usually $28 with taxes and fees not included.

 

However, for the first couple of weeks, all tickets are reduced to $25 WITH TAXES/FEES INCLUDED.

You will not find a better overall haunted attraction in Birmingham, Huntsville, or Mobile.

More good news: The wait includes great distractions like axe throwing, classic horror movies, and food/drinks!

So, the wait is definitely WORTH IT!

The Horror Tuscaloosa has sections of the haunted house divided into things like a witch-filled swamp, a haunted manor full of bloodthirsty creatures of the night, and a dark maze full of clowns.

“Everybody loves a clown!” states Horror Tuscaloosa Director Cody Minor.  “Patrick Blanchard and I have been doing haunted houses for over 20 years and this is the biggest and best one yet. We have lots of terrifying animatronics, Hollywood movie quality masks, and a casting room of crazies wanting to give the people the best scare experience possible!”

I could not have said it better Cody.
