Denver's Haunted Attractions

Halloween is right around the corner, and if you're someone who enjoys getting scared at haunted houses, there are plenty of haunted house events in Denver, Colorado this year. While some of these haunted house attractions may be suitable for children, some may not.

13^th Door: The 13^th Door is one local haunted house you may want to visit this Halloween. Legend has it that back in 1912 John Barrington, who owned the Barrington Hotel, threw a party one cold October night to celebrate All Hallows Eve. His nephew, Andrew had a very bad gambling problem and owed money to a lot of people who were getting tired of his empty promises to pay them back.

Andrew went to the party that night to try and get money from his uncle to pay back his debtors, but his uncle refused to help him. Andrew was very upset and promised to get revenge. Later that night, all of the exits were blocked off and a fire was started. Once firemen arrived, they were frustrated because they couldn't save anyone behind the locked doors. Only one man survived because he found the 13^th door.

In this haunted house, you have to find the 13^th door to escape. Legend has it that you can still hear the screams of the dying people in the fire and that Andrew Barrington still wanders the house seeking his revenge.
