If your favorite thing to do in October is to visit haunted houses, you’re in the right place. Among the dry cornstalks and dark forests of Maryland are some of the scariest haunted attractions in the nation. Most  haunted venues have instituted timed-entry ticketing, so check the website before you visit. Grab your coat, a few friends and prepare to be thoroughly terrified.

Station 7 Terror Trail

The Station 7 Terror Trail in Gambrills has two different options, a super scary version for adults and a family-friendly one for the little ones. The path through the woods features monsters, ghostly displays and tons of creepy lighting. Tickets are $25 for the terror trail and $8 for the Boo Haunt Loop. The Station 7 Terror Trail is open Friday and Saturday nights through November 1, 2025.

Legends of the Fog

Located in Harford County, Legends of the Fog is the best value haunted attraction in Maryland. Legends of the Fog has not one, but four different attractions, including a haunted hayride, haunted maze, haunted hotel and a slaughterhouse. For $50 you can enjoy all four attractions and for an extra $20, you can upgrade to a fast pass that will get you to the head of the line. Legends of the Fog is super scary, so no one under 10 years old is allowed to attend.

Field of Screams

Field of Screams is one of the longest-running haunted attractions in Maryland. Unfortunately, it will not be open for the 2025 season. But don't worry, the creators are taking time off to reinvent an even more amazing attraction to be unveiled in 2026!

Markoff's Haunted Forest

Celebrating 30 years of fright in Maryland, Markoff’s Haunted Forest is part nightclub, part haunted forest. Step into the free cursed village and warm your toes by the bonfire while listening to sounds from a live DJ. The Haunted Trail is one mile of pure terror and the Town gives guests an up close and personal experience with zombies. Hate the jump scares? Lights on Nights is Halloween Trail without actors. It's open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and features a family-friendly midway where kids can trick-or-treat. Markoff’s Haunted Forest is located near Poolesville and is open Friday to Sunday through Halloween.

The Nevermore Haunt

If you want to visit a Halloween attraction that’s indoors, try the Nevermore Haunt in Baltimore. Located in an old city warehouse, you’ll encounter frightful creatures of all kinds, including some original residents. While you wait your turn to get inside, you’ll be entertained by magicians, fortune tellers and more. Tickets start at $24 per person and upgrades are available.

Laurel’s House of Horror

Laurel’s House of Horror has two types of experiences for visitors this. The first is a traditional haunted house and the second is an escape room. Go back to the 1940s inside the Carlisle Hotel, where you’ll witness gruesome scenes and over-the-top fright. If you haven’t had enough, try one of the escape rooms based on classic horror movies. See if you have what it takes to escape from Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees or Jigsaw. Haunted house tickets start at $30 and escape room combination packages are available. Laurel’s House of Horror also offers a special paranormal investigator package after hours.

Fulton Turkey Farm Prepping for Thanksgiving

Much of the farm’s original land is now part of Maple Lawn, the master-planned community filled with townhomes, condos, and single-family homes.
