Here are haunted houses around the Milwaukee area and beyond for 2023

Tis the season for jump scares, creepy characters and sets that look straight out of horror films. 

From Wisconsin Feargrounds to the Abandoned Haunted House Complex in Mount Pleasant, here are some haunted houses around the Milwaukee area and beyond. 

Many of the adventures listed below feature multiple haunted houses on their premises.

For dates, pricing, age requirements — and warnings/waivers, in some cases — be sure to visit each attraction's website.  

Wisconsin Feargrounds, Waukesha 

Waukesha County Expo Center Grounds, 1000 Northview Road, Waukesha

Wisconsin Feargrounds is celebrating its 20th anniversary . This year's attraction has two haunted houses: "The Compound" and "Sketchy's Chambers."

"The Compound" is a sprawling "sinister and foreboding" complex where malevolent creatures and nightmarish beings live, the attraction's website said. The tormented souls who dwell there unleash their twisted desires upon visitors.

Sketchy's Chambers is a "nightmarish" abode where Sketchy, a former circus clown from the 1970s, resides. He found solace at the grounds after becoming disfigured in a tragic Big Top fire, according to the website.

Since Wisconsin Feargrounds owners Chad and Brenda Franks start from scratch when converting two long expo center buildings into the attraction, what's presented each year is fresh, even if the theme remains similar, according to a Journal Sentinel report .

The Hill Has Eyes, Franklin

The Rock Sports Complex at Ballpark Commons, 7005 S. Ballpark Drive, Franklin

The Hill Has Eyes includes four haunts that span 45 acres. 

According to the attraction's website, during "Failed Escape," extended exposure to toxic waste turned people into mutant freaks. They formed a new society centered around Junkyard Ray, AKA "The One with Many Faces." "The mutants fear and hate him as much as they fear and hate themselves, but they know he watches over them," the website said.

The mutants share a ravenous hunger for flesh. In "Hunger Hollow," visitors see captured victims skinned alive, butchered and eaten, the website said. The butcher is always experimenting with new ways to serve up dessert. "All souls are offered to The Demon, and all exits lead to his realm."

"Carnivore" is "the devil's carnival," per the website. Hell’s carnival barker leads visitors through a freak show with fire breathers and the spawn of Satan himself.

As visitors approach what seems to be refuge, they enter a space "dictated by judgment and torture," called "Dead End," the website said. They encounter a "twisted haven" of medical tests and experiments.

On Sundays, the venue is also offering a "Not So Scary Halloween Party" in which actors take visitors on a guided tour through the attractions, and kids get to trick-or-treat along the way, the website said. Kids are encouraged to dress up for that.

Abandoned Haunted House Complex, Mount Pleasant

2825 SE Frontage Road, Mount Pleasant

Abandoned Haunted House Complex features three haunted houses.

According to the complex's website , "Ambush" is an intense startle-scare haunted house with loud noises, actors popping out of unexpected places and bright lighting effects.

"Hysteria" features visual and audible scares, confusion, misdirection, illusion and actor interactions.

"Stalker" is an interactive startle-scare haunted walking experience with characters lurking throughout, the website said. 

Abandoned's sister haunted house complex is Burial Chamber Haunted House Complex in Neenah. The complex, 500 N. Lake St., has four haunted attractions, including one that gives guests the experience of feeling like they're being buried alive.

The Haunt, Cedarburg

Ozaukee County Fairgrounds, W67 N866 Washington Ave., Cedarburg

The Haunt strives to be terrifying, but "on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being a pumpkin patch and 10 being pee-your-pants-scary), we are about a 6,"  the attraction's website said.

The Haunt, a volunteer-run operation, lasts between 20 and 25 minutes and is mainly indoors. It's been put on for 16 years, the website said, and is a fundraiser for  Ozaukee County 4-H .

Screamin' Acres, Stoughton

3865 State Road 138, Stoughton

Screamin' Acres features several attractions, including "Slaughterhaus," "Lockup: Under No Management," "The Last Resort" and "Side Effects." 

In "Slaughterhaus," a plastic chemical tote filled with an odorous liquid was discovered when a meat processing facility was undergoing an expansion,  according to the attraction's website . While hoisting the tote out of the ground, it fell and its contents spilled everywhere — including onto the butchers. They were transformed into vicious, bloodthirsty killers.

"Lockup: Under No Management" features a forgotten prison where inmates began escaping. Inside the winding prison, local adventurers discovered a laboratory, the website said. "Large barrels of toxic goo were found stacked to the ceiling with an ‘experiment’ still locked up in a cage begging to be released,' " the website said. Inmates inside the building chased the group to a sewer pipe "that proved to be the final journey out of the horrendous facility." 

"The Last Resort" is about Herman Von Richtmyer, a chemist who was involved in chemical warfare and orchestrated some of the most gruesome experiments in human history at the discretion of the governments who hired him, per the website. In his old age, he lived alone in a house in the countryside. He began to hallucinate the victims he tortured: people he cut open, poisoned and distorted. He was found dead, but his voice is still heard chaotically yelling throughout the house.

"Side Effects: Recharged!" is a mind-numbing maze in which attendees will lose touch with reality. This attraction has all-new twists and turns, according to the website.

"Deathtrap," an evolving sideshow, is designed to target natural human reactions, the website said. It's again featuring "Shock Therapy" in 2023, with more and new ways to be shocked. It's primarily fueled by static shocks, and nearly everything in the attraction is designed to target that fear.

Terror on Rural Street, Hartford

147 N. Rural St., Hartford

The Terror on Rural Street Haunted House features 17 rooms with "high tech effects" and more than 30 costumed actors,  according to the attraction's website .

The haunted house was started in the late '90s by the Hartford Community Service Inc. nonprofit to raise money for the community.

"What the organizers didn’t plan on was that their efforts would draw the attention of actual spirits that haunt the old Libby’s Canning Factory that Terror on Rural Street calls home," the website said. "It wasn’t long after construction started on the new haunted attraction that strange and unusual events started to befall the workers."

Six Flags Great America Fright Fest, Gurnee, Illinois

1 Great America Parkway, Gurnee, Illinois

Fright Fest at Six Flags Great America features numerous haunted houses, scare zones, shows and more,  according to its website . 

There are two new haunted houses this year: "Saw X" and "The Estate of Wretched Meadows," the website said.

During "Saw X," which is inspired the new film, attendees attempt to survive Jigsaw's "ingenious and terrifying" traps.

The story behind "The Estate of Wretched Meadows" is that, while the estate was being built in the '60s, a ceiling collapse killed a workman and his apprentice — and several others since then. During the experience, guests discover those spirits.

The park's other haunted houses are: "13th Order," "Big Top Terror," "Bloodshed" and "Gates of Hell."

In "Scare Zones" — where a zombie, witch or other terrifying ghoul could be lurking — include "Wretched Meadows," "Demon Lair," "Henchmen Alley," "Nightmares," "Underworld," "Forbidden Forest," "Lost Souls," "Lost Circus" and "Ride Cemetery." 

During "The Uprising Parade: Nightly Call of the Dead," an evil army comes out and begins their nightlong torture of guests. "The Witching Hour" is when the monsters convene at the front of the park to terrorize guests one last time. 

There are multiple shows, including: "The Ringmaster's Cabaret," featuring illusions, music and "freakish" acts, and "Love at First Fright," classic music, singing and dancing to Halloween favorites, the website said.

By day, there's Kids Boo Fest, which is for all ages and includes a "BOO-Yeah! Parade," "Not-So-Scary Story Time," a "Monster Bash Dance Party," "Patch's Hay Maze," and trick-or-treating on Candy Corn Lane, according to the website.

Bizarre and Grotesque

The albino ghost of montebello castle.

Azzurrina is the nickname of an albino ghost girl who’s said to haunt Italy’s Montebello Castle.

“Azzurrina”, an Italian word meaning “little blue”, is the nickname of a young girl who’s said to haunt the Castle of Montebello in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. According to legend, Azzurrina was born Guendalina Malatesta, the daughter of a 14th century nobleman. Unlike the rest of her dark-haired family, Guendalina was an albino who had white hair and pale skin. Since albinos were widely feared and hated during the time, Guendalina’s mother tried dyeing her daughter’s hair black. The herbs she used didn’t work very well, however, and instead gave Guendalina’s hair a bluish tint, hence her nickname Azzurrina.

Because of her condition, Azzurrina’s parents were very protective of her. They kept her in the castle at all times, where she was guarded by two men, Domenico and Ruggero. As the story goes, there was a big storm on June 21, 1375. That night, Azzurrina was playing with a rag ball in a room in the castle. While Domenico and Ruggero were standing off somewhere else, they suddenly heard Azzurrina let out a terrible scream. The two guards then rushed to her room, but found no trace of the girl or the ball. Although they searched all over the castle and its grounds, nobody ever found Azzurrina’s body. It was as though she had vanished into thin air.

The area in Montebello Castle where Azzurrina disappeared.

One variant of the story says that Azzurrina had accidentally thrown her ball down into a open cellar where ice was stored. Another version claims that some invisible force grabbed the ball out of her hands and rolled it down into the cellar by itself. Regardless of what exactly happened, Azzurrina’s body and ball were never found. Her father, who was away in a battle during the time, had Domenico and Ruggero executed after he found out what happened. On the fifth anniversary of her disappearance, Azzurrina returned to the castle as a ghost. She has since re-appeared every five years.

Azzurrina’s bizarre story was passed down as an oral legend for more than 250 years before somebody decided to write it down. In 1620, it was recorded by a parish priest in a book about local legends and folklore. No copy of this book has survived to modern times, and some believe that the book might not exist at all. There is, in fact, no evidence that the story ever happened. Unless that priest’s book ever turns up, it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to doubt that Azzurrina’s story originated as an authentic medieval legend either. Some have traced the appearance of the story only as far back as the 20th century.

A picture of Montebello Castle.

Still, whatever its lack of authenticity, psychics and TV producers know a good ghost story when they hear one. On the anniversary of Azzurrina’s disappearance in 1990 and 1995, television crews allegedly captured the voice of a crying little girl  on their recording equipment. In 2000, the child’s voice was heard again, this time crying and possibly calling for her mamma . A 2005 recording captured a single voice saying the name “Alosio”, and a group of voices chanting an old Hebrew word for the devil, “belial”. Another investigation in 2010 apparently captured nothing.

I’m not sure whether anybody tried recording Azzurrina on June 21, 2015, but Rimini Today posted a pretty interesting article about the case the day before the anniversary that year. According to Leo Farinelli, a man who spent 20 years researching the story and contacting Azzurrina through psychics, Guendalina was actually born in 1375 to Uguccione Della Faggiola and Costanza Malatesta. She was not actually albino, but blonde-haired and Nordic-looking. This made Uguccione suspect that the girl wasn’t his. Although Costanza insisted that she never cheated on her husband, there was a blonde-haired French guard in the castle who resembled Azzurrina. At the age of 8, Azzurrina disappeared from the castle in December 1383.

If Farinelli’s research is correct, perhaps the story got twisted and spiced up a bit over the hundreds of years it was passed down. The albino element, which Farinelli claimed was added by the priest who allegedly wrote the story down in 1620, might have covered up the real cause of Azzurrina’s disappearance: murder. Some have suggested that the palace guard was Azzurrina’s real father, and Uguccione arranged for her to “disappear” to save himself embarrassment. For those curious enough to investigate the story themselves, Montebello Castle is open to visitors for a slight fee nearly all-year round.

I visited the castle myself on a night tour in 2005. Another story was that the maid pushed Azzurrina (as far as I know, Azzurrina came from the colour of her eye, azzurro=light blue, as she was born albino: pale skin, white hair and blue eyes) down the ice cellar because she was believed to be the daughter of the devil, a sort of punishment for her family’s sins. That place still gives me shivers. Loads of negative vibes in there. When the Italian national broadcaster (RAI) went over there with mediums and psychics they recorded the sound of a young little girl cry coming from the cellar. They play it when you go for a visit. Whether it’s true or not, I felt sick as I know how closeminded and bigot people of the time were and they didn’t care to kill a child just because she looked different. On another point, still on the topic of the time of the castle, there are lots of paintings representing immeasurable tortures on human beings, mostly women. Won’t visit it again, but definitely can’t forget that place.

Opinion The haunting of Capitol Hill House

No political organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of having to deal with the Freedom Caucus; even John Boehner was supposed, by some, to dream. Capitol Hill House, not sane, stood by itself between Independence and Constitution, holding speaker votes within; it had stood so for three failed Jim Jordan votes this month and might stand for 80 more. Within, walls continued upright, conferences met messily, floors were empty and cloakroom doors were sensibly shut; reason lay stealthily against the grain of Capitol Hill House and whatever ran there, ran alone.

What I am trying to say, with apologies to Shirley Jackson, is that something was very wrong in Capitol Hill House.

The October chill had descended, and atop Capitol Hill the figures mingled and loomed. They hovered in cloakrooms and they howled in conference. They were incensed against one another. Madness reigned. I am speaking, of course, of the GOP caucus; the ominous moans and groans seemed to emanate entirely from that region of the House. On the Democratic side, you could still hear birdsong.

Alexandra Petri: This is why I hate elections, by Jim Jordan

Amid it all, Capitol Hill House stood speakerless! There was no one in charge. The votes were cast, yet it did not change. Something sinister wrote “The best lack a quorum and the worst are full of passionate intensity” over the entrance to the Republican cloakroom, yet it did not change.

And the question echoed through its marble halls: Where was the adult who was supposed to come into the room? Where was the promised leadership? But the leadership was a ghost ship, and the figure of the adult remained absent from the chair. There was a bow tie there, but that was all.

We did not know how bad it was, at first. We had been pleased and proud to send representatives there, to pass laws and generally help keep the country running . But after 17 days passed with no sign of leadership, we started to worry. What was going on? Where was the legislation that was ordinarily emitted from this building? What were they doing in there?

Alexandra Petri: Help wanted: Speaker needed in the House of Representatives

When it appeared on C-SPAN, it seemed too terrible to be believed. A ghoulish parody of their appointed work!

They were voting, it appeared. At least, it looked like voting. But they were trying to elect Jim Jordan speaker. Jim Jordan! A man who had never drafted legislation that became law in 16 years in the House; a man who had striven mightily to deny the results of the 2020 election; a man who never wore a jacket! What had happened? And then they voted again, and again. Each time, he won fewer votes.

For days they stood on the House floor, trying again and again to choose a speaker. For a while it seemed likely to continue forever, repeating and repeating and wearing down the caucus with threats and badgering until Jordan might receive no votes at all.

What had brought this nightmare to Capitol Hill House? What had brought this lumbering thing that lurked and cast its shadow over the marble floors? What was this thing that telephoned the members at night? Who had unearthed it and brought it to malignant life? And, oh, who would bottle it again?

Was it Kevin McCarthy who had unleashed the curse? Could it be that McCarthy, signing his devil’s bargain with Matt Gaetz in the woods in the dead of night, had invoked more than a motion to vacate ? That in seeking to herd cats he had gambled perhaps too much of his soul?

Alexandra Petri: I, Matt Gaetz, have done everything right!

Or had it long lurked within the Republican caucus, small but intransigent, like a tumor?

It had long been maintained that there was a curse there, on the Hill; some said it was bodied forth in the spectral figure of Matt Gaetz, but too many people could see him. Something was rotten on the Hill. They were all trapped there and the numbers were dwindling.

We had not known the place was cursed, when we sent representatives there! It had seemed goodly enough, a place fit to serve as a cradle for new laws, one where a committee might sit and go about business in good order. We did not suspect it, then! Some said it was haunted, that it was tainted by fumes of the swamp on which it sat — but we did not listen. The House had functioned for 200-odd years — very odd, indeed! — and it would function for as many more. And yet — there is a subtle influence that passes from mind to mind. Enough people were sent to Congress who believed it was not possible to govern … and by their very belief, they made it impossible !

Some said it was the swamp on which the House was built, but most knew better. They said that those who blamed the swamp had brought something with them, something that made it impossible to govern, because they simply did not care to.

Alexandra Petri: I am having the government shutdown nightmare again

And now they were trapped there, headless. Nothing sat in the chair, no one wielded the gavel and no law could be passed, and all the time the shutdown was creeping closer and closer . Some said that there were evil clowns, too, though others said that was only Matt Gaetz . And as they bickered and squabbled the clock ticked down, down.

Yet they did not care. And all the while the chair sat empty and the clock ticked down, and the horror was not what was in the House. It was what would happen outside it.

How guest reviews work

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

• Politically sensitive comments
• Promotional content
• Illegal activities
• Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
• Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
• Spam and fake content
• Animal cruelty
• Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
• Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).
