Metroplex residents have plenty of places to go for a great night of fright. So as Halloween approaches, be seen and be scared at these DFW area “haunted” attractions.

Hangman’s House Of Horrors
This classic has been scaring up Fort Worth for over 24 years and was featured on the Travel Channel’s “America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions” special.  It was voted "Best Place to get Spooked" by the readers of Fort Worth Magazine. Hangman’s also has the distinction of being the top charity-benefiting haunted house in the nation, with over $1.7 million donated to local charities to date. Don’t let that kind donation lull you into a false sense of security, though; Hangman’s does have a serious scare factor.

Fright Fest
Six Flag's annual celebration of the darkness offers a good balance of roller coaster thrills and haunted house chills. Not only is it fun to ride at night -- especially the Titan and the new (and improved) Texas Giant -- the Fright Fest turns many monster rides into rides with monsters. Rather tame by comparison to other haunted attractions, the roaming ghouls do provide some surprising sights -- and scares -- while you enjoy the theme park.
