Sloss Furnace Fright. Is it just an actor or is it a real ghost that’s lurking behind you? It’s hard to know for sure when visiting Sloss Furnace Fright – one of Alabama’s most popular scare attractions. Once a functioning steel mill, Sloss Furnace has become the ultimate place to experience spine-chilling terror during the month of October. Discover a real haunted house that is known for attracting paranormal activity as you venture on one of two trails – a tour of the furnace or a tour through the woods that surround it. As an already creepy place, Sloss Furnace adds extra scare tactics, like smoke, explosions, fire, and high-voltage electricity to heighten the fright.

Warehouse 31. Choose your own path of fear at one of three scare-tastic events happening at Warehouse 31 during the month of October. The Rigamortis trail is known to cause a sense of panic as you walk the halls of an old warehouse and experience scenes of terror and mayhem. Prepare to enter a nightmare gone terribly wrong in the 3D Experience that’s packed with 3D art and puzzles, a tunnel of doom, and blood-thirsty creatures. If you can’t handle the terror, opt for the Monsters Midway for food, drinks, carnival games, and a viewing of a classic horror film.
