2012 Haunted Attractions and Corn Mazes in Charlotte

Haunted Houses, Haunted Trails, Haunted Hayrides, Corn Mazes and More

By , About.com Guide

Halloween season is upon us, and there are plenty of options if you're looking for a good scare. The Charlotte are is loaded with haunted houses and trails, haunted (and regular) corn mazes and more. Listed are some of the best haunted attractions around, many of them more than 15 years old. Many of these attractions do offer discounted tickets on their websites, so be sure to check before you head out. Some of these attractions aren't actually in Charlotte, but most are a reasonable drive. There are a few that are included that will have an hour and a half or two hours to drive to, but they're included because reviews I've found have been exceptional (some of the best in the state).

Know of an event that need to be added to the listing? Let me know and I'll add it. Provide the event's website, or have someone from the event contact me via e-mail at charlotte@aboutguide.com, Facebook or Twitter.

Listed here are "haunted" attractions (houses, trails, hayrides, corn mazes, etc.), regular corn mazes, and other similar events. This list will constantly be updated, so check back often to see new events.
