ROSHARON, Texas — Now that fall is here, we don't have just the cool weather to look forward to. Fall also means Halloween is around the corner and the opening of haunted houses.
I mean, who doesn't love the idea of a clown following you down a dark hallway while you scream for your life!
According to the Haunted Attraction Association (HAA), the official association in the haunt industry, a haunted house in Rosharon, Creepy Hollow Haunted House, was named one of the "Top Haunted Attractions" across the country.
Creepy Hollow Haunted House features three haunted houses at one location including, The Scare Factory, Dark Woods, and Pitch Black. Tickets are $40 for all three houses. You can also purchase a speed pass to skip the line for an extra $10.
Creepy Hollow Haunted House opens every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. starting Sept. 24. The attraction will stay open through Nov. 6.
