Austin Halloween Guide 2024

This list contains all the haunted houses that I could find in the Austin area, plus other Halloween and Dia de los Muertos events and activities in the Austin Area. If you have one you’d like to add, just email me at mike@irlxd.com

I’ve also been working on a new site that features Halloween Events, news, and more for over 1000 cities. Please check it out and share if you like it!

Austin Area Haunted Houses

1) Bat City Scaregrounds

Three haunted houses and “Vegas-style” performances and performers throughout this haunted fairgrounds. Plus live music and themed concessions. They also do special dates throughout the year.

2) House of Torment

One of the oldest of Austin haunted houses. Some shows mid-year as well. Multiple attractions, mini escape games, a tavern and more.

3) Scare for a Cure

A non-profit fighting breast cancer puts this (and other events) on every year. 100% volunteer-run. Don’t wear your favorite shirt, they’re famous for dumping fake blood on you.

4) Scream Hollow

An out-in-the-woods haunted house is near Smithville and features multiple haunted houses, a haunted hayride, a fire pit, pizza and beer and live music. They do some Christmastime nights and also a few weeks during the summer.

5) Fatal Fear Haunted House

I have not been to this one and the website isn’t too clear on what they offer. There seems to be two haunted houses, Mortis Manor and Hillside Sanatorium and a Christmastime Krampus attraction.
