Here are the top 4 spooky things to do on Halloween in Gatlinburg:
1. Mysterious Mansion
Experience Gatlinburg’s most terrifying haunted house at Mysterious Mansion, where you must navigate through secret passageways, eerie dark corridors, winding staircases and spine-chilling chambers! You are never truly alone as the residents of the mansion are eagerly awaiting your arrival and ready to provide you with a spooktacular visit! While the Mysterious Mansion is open all year long and is already terrifying enough, the attraction is even more intense on weekend evenings throughout October with many extra actors!
2. Ripley’s Haunted Adventure
Another one of the spooky things to do on Halloween in Gatlinburg is Ripley’s Haunted Adventure, an interactive haunted house where there are surprises around every corner! This creepy renovated mansion also features plenty of props and animatronics to add to your Halloween fun. Although Ripley’s Haunted Adventure is open daily, it amps up the terror on Fright Nights throughout the month of October. The Fright Night hours are every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6 p.m. until close, as well as Halloween night.
3. Fatal Chaos Haunted House
As Gatlinburg’s newest haunted house, Fatal Chaos is also one of the spookiest. This adventure is open every Thursday through Sunday now through Halloween. If you want to have the daylights scared of you, make the trip with your friends to see if you can make it out. They change the theme each year to keep you on your toes. If you make a purchase of $10 at the Smoke Shop, you will receive a free ticket to the haunted maze.
