  4. Phoenix, Ariz. Hal Smith, courtesy of The Nest Haunted HouseThe NestFor you fear freaks who haven't outgrown your fixation with pulse-pounding terror, The Nest provides a well needed adrenaline rush. Visitors -- or more aptly, victims -- may be tempted to run through this terrifying town and its dark, creepy forest where legendary Arizona murderer Jacob Kell is said to have butchered 35 people in a 1945 killing spree. But beware of the tortured souls who still haunt The Nest's eight blood-soaked acres.The Nest, which is Arizona's biggest haunted attraction, moved to a larger venue at the CJS Film Studios this year. With almost 100 actors and elaborate movie sets, it's a whole town of fear. Tickets range from $25 (general admission) to $35 for a VIP FastPass, and can be bought online at a discount. But be on your guard ... online purchasers will be greeted by the disembodied voice and satanic chortle of a Nest narrator warning that you will "face the fear of your worst nightmares come to life" when you visit this homestead of horror.

Housed in a crumbling, real-life 19th century penitentiary that once held infamous gangsters Al Capone and Willie Sutton, the Behind the Walls folks stage an extraordinary theatrical production complete with animatronic props, digital sound effects and a cast of 150.This year's new attraction is Infirmary, a terrifying walk through the penitentiary's long-abandoned medical wing and its morgue. But the Infirmary's highlight is the huge vertigo-inducing sterilization chamber that is fit for visitors with the strongest stomachs. Five other horror attractions await, including The Lockdown and The Experiment.Ticket prices range from $10 (kids 7-12) to $25 for adults ($30 on Saturday nights). The New York Times raved, that Terror Behind the Walls is perfect for Halloween.

"OUR family sincerely enjoys frightening YOUR family each and every year!" Among the attractions at Hobbs Grove is Zylos Woods, a haunted forest where visitors descend down a tangled trail into the dark unknown. And then there's the haunted hayride into Shadow's Keep, described as a "dark and dreary countryside" where you will have an "ominous reunion with the night."
