Carnage Haunted House

Carnage Haunted House in Columbus, Ohio, is a premier indoor Halloween attraction renowned for its immersive, high-intensity horror experience, consistently rated among Ohio’s top haunted attractions, including a #5 national ranking in 2019 and a Top 5 spot in Ohio in 2022. Set within a large warehouse, this haunt spans over 27 meticulously designed rooms across two chilling attractions: The Bayou and The Entity, delivering a 25- to 30-minute journey through terrifying, Hollywood-quality sets. The Bayou immerses guests in a swampy nightmare inspired by an ancient voodoo priestess, featuring detailed scenes like a damp boathouse with a lingering wet smell, a voodoo cabin with shaking cabinet doors, and a dock with a creaking boat, thunder effects, and lurking cursed creatures aiming to steal souls. The Entity transitions into an abandoned hospital overtaken by a malevolent force, where black ooze seeps from walls, worm-like creatures spill from a floating doctor, and scenes of carnage unfold with gory props like blood-soaked medical equipment and infected patients. Over 50 professional actors, trained in the art of scaring, deliver intense, interactive performances, using a mix of silent stalking, verbal threats, and sudden jump scares to keep guests on edge. The haunt’s atmosphere is amplified by realistic special effects, including fog, strobe lights, a moldy scent in The Entity, and dynamic soundscapes like crickets and thunder in The Bayou. Notable features include a New Orleans-style cemetery with intricate gravestones and a TV playing static in a cabin’s living room, enhancing the eerie realism. The queue area is vibrant, with a live DJ, horror movies projected on the building, and roaming actors, creating a festive yet foreboding vibe. The attraction is wheelchair-accessible but not recommended for children under 12 due to its intense scares and dark themes. With its detailed sets, professional actors, and immersive storytelling, Carnage Haunted House offers a heart-pounding, unforgettable Halloween adventure for thrill-seekers.
