This haunted attraction is intense and full of impressive special effects. All of the actors are real people, but you won't believe that once you see their costumes and makeup.

5. Dark Hour Haunted House 

701 Taylor Drive, Plano, TX 75074 

After being featured on BuzzFeed and USA Today, Dark Hour has certainly established a fearsome reputation throughout the state. This year, the Halloween show's theme is "Sleep Ends. Nightmares Don't." Stop by to delve into the horrifying depths of the human psyche and experience a high-quality performance by talented actors. People describe the sets as "Broadway-like," so you won't be disappointed after a night spent at this Plano attraction. 

6. Hangman's House of Horrors 

4400 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, TX 

After 29 years of service, Hangman's really knows how to put on a show for locals. Check out the traditional Hangman's House, a 100-year-old abandoned government facility, or test your nerves during a zombie outbreak. There's also a 3-D attraction called "No Place Like Home" that will trick your mind and throw in a few startling moments. If you have kids who want to tag along, that might be one of the best attractions for them. 

7. Thrillvania Haunted House Park 

2330 Co Road 128, Terrell, TX 75161

Whether you're interested in visiting The World Famous Verdun Manor or seeking a few thrills in Cassandra's House of Clowns, there's something for every kind of Halloween fiend at this park. There's even a Trail of Torment haunted by a mad psychologist. The park changes a bit every year, so even if you've been before, you're always in for some new scares. 

8. Tayman Graveyard Haunted Theme Park

4721 Cecillia St, Midlothian, TX 76065

Described as a "hellish nightmare taking place across multiple attractions" and a "true night of terror," Tayman Graveyard provides a truly chilling experience. The attraction features multiple haunted houses for one entry price, so you can spend an entire evening pretending you're in a horror movie. The authentic actors certainly help your imagination run wild. 

9. Reindeer Manor Halloween Park 

410 Houston School Rd, Red Oak, TX 75154

For the 45th year, this haunted attraction will feature four different haunted houses, each with different themes. You can attend a killer party in a Gothic mansion, immerse yourself in a creepy arcade game, solve murders at a haunted mortuary or escape a killer clown in a pitch-dark house. Yikes. No wonder some reviewers have referred to Reindeer Manor as the "best haunted house around." 

10. Hatch and Kraven's Slaughterhouse 

1400 W Taylor St, Sherman, TX 75092

Rumor has it that Hatch and Kraven Modair, a pair of butcher brothers who lived in Sherman, were taught the art of blades from a young age. When their father died and the depression hit in the 1930s, they ran out of meat to butcher and were left struggling to survive. Eventually, they turned to more murderous methods of earning a living. Should you choose to venture north of Dallas and check out the slaughterhouse, prepare for some terrifying jump scares and real-life night nightmares.
