Top 31 Haunted Attractions 2017
Haunted attractions today are comparable to Hollywood movie productions, becoming more elaborate and more immersive than ever before! According to the Haunted Attraction Association, the haunted house industry is a $7 billion dollar industry with more than 2,500 haunted attractions spread across the United States. A recent poll showed that just over 25% of Americans visited a haunted house this season.
Every Halloween, we hear the buzz about the BEST and SCARIEST haunted houses and Halloween attractions, so for a third year in row, we gave the fans a chance to nominate and vote for their favorites. This isn’t a list of paid positions like other websites are known to offer. This is 100% true and fair fan voting! Fans nominated a list of over 125 haunts around the U.S. and Canada. Then, throughout the month of October, fans had the opportunity to visit the attractions. The last weekend in October those same fans voted for their favorite haunts. After more than 19,000 votes, here are the selections that YOU, the FANS voted as Coaster Nation’s 2017 Top Haunts!
1. Nashville Nightmare – Nashville, TN
After a very tight back and forth race in the polls, Nashville Nightmare claimed the title of 2017 top haunt! It’s hard to believe that this world class attraction is only in its seventh season, but it’s true… it’s damn true. They pack in A TON of highly detailed sets and props utilizing over 50,000 sq ft of space. We had a chance to visit them during a special event this Spring, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Congratulations to the entire Nightmare team on a job well done and being voted the winner of Coaster Nation’s 2017 Top Haunts poll!
