Denver’s Haunted Houses
Halloween season isn’t complete without a trip to a haunted house. Three of Colorado’s top haunts are right here in the Denver area and are seriously scary.

Denver’s newest and goriest Halloween attraction, Blood Shed is a terrifying experience in hillbilly horror. You will travel through the family’s dilapidated farmhouse, into the backyard and through the “blood shed” before a final visit to the family home.
6100 E. 39th Ave.
13th Floor
Explore the legend of the 13th floor and why it’s missing in so many buildings. This is the only truly haunted house in the city of Denver — based on an official study of the site, which showed unexplained paranormal activity.
6100 E. 39th Ave.
The Asylum
Set in Gordon Cottingham’s Hospital for the Mentally Insane, The Asylum is a damp and musty place infested with spiders, rats, snakes, and the endless screams of tortured souls.
