Haunted House: 13th Gate

October 16, 2009 :: Posted by - Travel Troll :: Category - Entertainment, Interest

Baton Rouge, Louisiana is the home of the #1 rated haunted house, called 13th gate.

Literally, your worst nightmares will come alive as you crawl through a crematory oven, get lost in dark underground tunnels and find yourself standing on a rickety bridge overlooking hundreds of live snakes.

Hauntworld Magazine has named this 40,000-square-foot attraction the #1 haunted house in the nation for the second year in a row.

During the off season, award-winning scenic artists, set carpenters, lighting and sound technicians, and special effects artists work to create a hair-raising experience. Top makeup artists transform over 100 professional actors into gory creatures that slither around stalking and spooking victims through the twisting maze of darkness. The terror comes alive in 13 indoor and outdoor themed areas that will keep you on the edge of your toes and ready to scream and cry at every corner.
The scares begin September 24 and continue through Halloween. The attraction gets very crowded with long lines as it gets closer to Halloween, so beat the crowds by going during one of the earlier weekends. You can also get $5 off the $20 admission on Thursday nights. Be prepared to scream because this haunted house is the real deal.
