A staple of Halloween is the haunted house. Every year, hundreds flock to their local haunted house or drive dozens, or sometimes even hundreds of miles to be scared by ghosts and ghouls and axe-wielding maniacs that roam the dark halls of a haunted house. Whether you just enjoy the thrill and excitement that comes with entering a haunted house and making it out alive, or if you're a haunted house enthusiast, always on the lookout for the biggest and scariest, then you'll find these websites useful.

A few dedicated websites have made it their business to know all here is to know about haunted houses. Where they are, how scary they are, what you can expect inside, admission fees, and much more. Some sites also include sections on real haunted houses to visit, should the manufactured ones prove too tame.

If you want to create your own haunted house to scare the wits out of trick or treaters, there are resources to help you with that too.

So in the spirit of the approaching Halloween, dim the lights, shutter the windows against wandering ghosts and spooks, and let's explore a dark corner of the internet where all the scary knowledge you've been seeking will be revealed.

Hauntworld.com, aptly named the Biggest Haunt Finder on the Internet, is a one-stop resource for finding haunted houses across America. The extensive database at Hauntworld.com includes comprehensive guides to haunted houses all across America, easily found by selecting your state. Haunted house descriptions include a brief review, location information, admission prices, and weblinks and photos if available. You'll also find direct links to haunted house websites beckoning you to enter their frightful webspace.

The haunted house database is enormous, but Hauntworld.com doesn't stop there. You'll also find a wealth of information and links to real haunted houses, cemeteries and graveyards, haunted towns, and more. Hauntworld.com also hosts a forum for discussion of all thing haunted and Halloween, a section on photos and videos, information on tours of haunted sites, and more.

If you're looking to build your own haunted house, you'll find ample links to Halloween and haunted house supply sites, such as HauntedHouseSupplies.com

At HauntedHouseSupplies.com, you'll be able to purchase traditional props and new and exciting frights, books and videos on haunted houses, haunted house music, machines for producing fog and lighting effects, and much more.

And of course, other sites like TheHorrorDome.com or Halloween.com can also fulfill your Halloween and haunted house needs, offering costumes, props, decorations, and links to even more resources to make your haunted house a frightening success.

If you really want a scare and would like to visit a real haunted house this Halloween, or if you find yourself feeling even more daring, and are thinking about staying in a haunted hotel, then you'll need either the Haunted Places Directory or the Shadowlands Haunted Places Index. Either site contains a large listing of haunted houses, hotels, and other sites across America, categorized by state.
