Wondering how the famous haunted house is handling COVID?
Wearing a mask and practicing social distancing is required. Groups larger than 10 people will be separated into smaller groups for safety measures. Keeping social distance and arriving on time as registered would allow for a safe and enjoyable experience during this spooky halloween season!
Don’t feel like waiting in line?
Purchase FASTPASS (+$10) to reduce your wait time or purchase SKIP THE LINE (+$20) to reserve your time and skip the long general admission lines.
Online ticket purchase is highly suggested because it reduces contact compared to arriving at the haunted house and waiting in line to purchase tickets.
If all tickets are sold out online then tickets will not be available for purchase on-site.
The haunted house will close each day until the final individual or group has gone through both haunted houses.
Wondering where did the 13th floor superstition come from?
Here is an idea…
“Early Christians blamed the Last Supper, at which Judas was the 13th guest. But long before then, Norse mythology was telling of a banquet for a dozen gods that was crashed by an evil spirit, Loki, who killed one of the guests with a poisoned arrow and caused a celestial uproar. And before that, ancient Hindus weren’t fond of the number either; they considered any gathering of 13 people unlucky.
An aversion to 13 at the table became entrenched in the modern world, particularly in France, where if 13 guests somehow ended up on an invitation list a 14th was hurriedly pressed into service. Some Frenchmen—known as quatorzes —earned a living by attending dinner parties to sit in the 14th chair.” – The New York Times
