Due to the large number of ghosts they can hold, haunted houses are consistently scarier than cursed sleeping bags, possessed lean-tos, and ectoplasmic studio apartments. Experience architectural horror with today's Groupon: for $15, you get a Restless Spirit pass (a $28 value) to The Haunting Haunted House, which is located at the NW corner of I-17 at Freeway and Bell Road. The Restless Spirit ticket allows for unlimited single-night access to the haunted house.

Lead your scared sweetie or ghoulish gang through the Haunting Haunted House’s four main attractions: the Graveyard, the Haunted Mansion, the Gravestone Park Insane Asylum, and Pirates of the Scare-ibbean. Fear is the secret to happy marriages, lasting friendships, and numerous madman-created serums, which makes this trip a relationship builder. Dodge all sorts of nocturnal frightfolk, from zombies in the Graveyard to voodoo witches and hammerhead sharks in the Pirates of the Scare-ibbean attraction. This eerie exploration is perfect for aspiring actors, auctioneers searching for an acceptable place to practice blood-curdling screams, or children of horrible, demonic ancestry who need a comforting place to remind them of the bilious, fiery womb.

Located inside the Halloween Express Superstore at the eerie edifice of Bell Canyon Pavilions Shopping Center, The Haunting is open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays and 7 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The fear you experience therein has the potential to be both fun and philanthropic, as a portion of the proceeds will help support local youth programs and charity partners such as Future for KIDS and Helping Hands for Freedom.
