1 – Haunted Overload – Lee, New Hampshire
Haunted Overload is simply one of the most creative and unique haunted attractions in New England. Now located on the DeMeritt Hill Farm on Route 155 in Lee NH. The show has twice been voted one of the top 13 haunted attractions in the country. In 2014 Haunted Overload won ABC’s Great Halloween Fright Fight.
The haunt is changed and expanded each year to give the patron something new and exciting to experience. The night time haunt, while artistically done is extremely scary and parental discretion is advised for younger or sensitive children.

4 – Factory of Terror – Fall River, MA
5 – Hysteria at Connors Farm – Danvers, MA
HYSTERIA is Massachusetts’ Premiere Haunted Farm and was rated one of the Top Screamparks in America by HauntWorld Magazine in 2014 and 2015. Modern Farmer Magazine ranked the farm #1 on it’s list of Top 13 Haunted Corn Mazes. HYSTERIA at Connors Farm is a terrifying, bone-chilling, CAN’T MISS October destination!
The Haunted Farm is HYSTERIA’s feature attraction. This 30+ minute walking trail takes you on a trek through a horror filled forest, along the banks of a real swamp, and around a REAL (historic to the farm) 17th Century Burial Ground. The sights, sounds, and smells you will experience at HYSTERIA’s Haunted Farm are unlike ANYTHING you have encountered at traditional indoor haunted houses. THIS is what REAL nightmares are made of.
6 – Nightmare Vermont – Essex Junction, VT
Nightmare Vermont is a thrilling, interactive haunted house that has run in underground spaces, and as part of other events since 2004. It has garnered a reputation for cinema-level visual effects, engaging characters, and wild Halloween fun put on by its all-volunteer cast and crew. Come see scrappy evil geniuses team up with community leaders to bring you Vermont’s most exciting and unique event.
Parental guidance is strongly suggested for anyone under 13. The event is not for young children, as there are scary moments, blood, mayhem, and adult language, and adult themes. However, Nightmare is not a gross-out slasher event, it is a thrilling story. Expect to be startled and creeped, but mostly expect a good show. You don’t need to be a fan of horror to enjoy Nightmare Vermont.
