#Austin house of torment series#

The anthology series presents frightening and often disturbing tales based on real people and events that have led to our modern-day myths and legends. The large tech company selected the Austin haunted house out of just six haunted houses in the nation to partner for a special screening of Amazon’s new show, Lore, which is based on a popular podcast. The haunted house goes all-out with some of the most intense and real-life makeup and screams.Īs an added bonus, this year some of the House of Torment’s biggest fans got to help out with a partnership with Amazon. Dressed-up selfie “Monsters” linger outside the attraction and are available for creepy photos. Photos are also a popular part of the spooky night out. Souvenirs including t-shirts with “Keep Austin Scary” printed on them are available. Guests also have the opportunity to leave with more than just an adrenaline-pumped heart.

Kreepy Kabobs is open outside the House of Torment, serving up drinks and mouth-watering kabobs made of steak or chicken along with sweet treats, including caramel apples and candied bacon. “The added scare points and changes from last year are top-notch, proving why House of Torment Austin stands out above the rest.” A new section of the House of Torment this year is a carnival-themed with scary clowns roaming around.įor the first time ever, alcohol and snacks are also now an optional part of the experience. “In my opinion, the first attraction, Deranged, gets me every time,” said Glenn Lenard, who has been General Manager of the House of Torment for 13 years. The Frenzy Dark Carnival is new for this year and plays on guests’ five senses with smells of popcorn and disturbing clowns roaming freely and screaming out from unexpected places.ĭespite the new carnival-themed attraction, some of the biggest scares may still come from more traditional frights, which were upgraded last year when the House of Torment moved into its new and more permanent location off of Ridgepoint Drive. This year, the horror adventure features three different sections, including a haunted penitentiary, a creepy carnival and a ghostly manor. There’s never a dull moment at House of Torment, with creepy actors jumping out from unexpected places and dark corners. House of Torment is in its 15 th year as Austin’s premier haunted house and the 2017 season (now through November 11) is living up to its scary reputation-with a few new hidden twists and turns in the dark, smoky maze of creepy characters and frights. The haunted house goes all-out with some of the most intense and real-life makeup and screams. The sounds of chainsaws, screams and the laughter of clowns can be heard nightly in a dark group of buildings in Austin.
