Email Verified Best Haunted House in Utah! Hands Down!
I went to Nightmare on 13th on Friday, May 13th, 2022 and it was amazing. The details of each scene are insanely good and the scares/jumps are the best of any haunted house I've been to. I can't wait to go back during Halloween time!

Email Verified Top Notch Haunted Attraction
I've been here numerous times and no two visits are the same. Each year this haunt makes drastic changes, improvements, and continue to innovate. I love the unique themes, especially Dark Ride of Terror from last year. Nightmare on 13th truly feels like Halloween!

The Best Haunted House I've Been To!!!
The haunted house lasted a good 45 minutes! There was so much time and effort into making this great and it really was. The props and actors were amazing! We were close to the people in front of us, but we still got the full experience. Can't say enough about it!!

Email Verified It was a blast
I was there with my friends and honestly it was a blast. Here the setup was so realistic. Definitely one of the best haunt houses in the state. The reputation is rightly conferred. The house was adorned with props and the special effects did great tricks. It stuck to the theme including the actors. It was fun place to stop by.

Lively actors
Most of the haunts have repetitive themes and it becomes very predictable. Here, they have managed to keep things different. The actors were enthusiastic. The makeup and costumes did the job of scaring us away with one look. They were quite determined and would stalk you till the end. Had a great evening and will surely be back.

Mind blowing
This place has been in my to-do list on Halloween for years and will continue to be. The experience was mind blowing. I am the kind who visit haunts whenever possible. Loved the ambience and creativity the team used to put up such a structure. The fun is unlimited at Nightmare on 13th.
