Halloween in Orlando is in a league of its own. For families, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom brings trick-or-treating, spooky parades, and rare character sightings on select nights through October 31. And for those who like their Halloween with a lot more screaming, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year with 10 haunted houses, scare zones, and live shows on select nights through November 1.
But the frights don't stop at the theme parks! Across Central Florida, independent haunts are serving up haunted trails, swamp scares, and immersive experiences that horror fans rave about year after year. If you're ready to venture beyond the parks, here are the best haunted attractions to add to your Halloween getaway.
