For more than 20 years, Haunted Hotel has hosted some of Kentucky's most frightening evenings, transforming a place meant for sleep into a waking nightmare. The haunt consistently tops Ohio Valley Haunts' lists of the top haunted houses in the region—including multiple Best of Kentucky honors—because of its enduring commitment to scares. Throughout the haunt, strobe lights, loud noises, props, and fog machines re-create the sensation of being asleep and realizing you haven't paid your bills in time, but it's the actors who make the nightmare feel real. As you navigate the maze, real actors scream, talk, and even reach out to touch you (though they are trained to keep you safe at all times), ensuring a viscerally frightening experience.
