Spooky season is finally upon us. Here are 10 scary spots scattered across Greater Cincinnati that are full of evil clowns, demented dolls and chainsaw-wielding psychos. There are also some options for the kiddos, including “lights on” events and a slightly spooky recreated 19th-century village.

Note: Please check each event’s website or social media for the most up-to-date attraction hours, ticketing details and health and safety updates before heading out the door.

Land of Illusion Haunted Scream Park 8762 Thomas Rd., Middletown. Fridays and Saturdays and select Thursdays and Sundays through Oct. 30. Why only have one haunted house when you can have six? Land of Illusion has multiple themed frights to choose from, including: Killer Klowns, Temple of Terror, Phobia, Dr. Psycho’s Haunted Estate, Dysphoria and the Middletown Haunted Trail — a “terror trek of unspeakable dread.” They also have a full bar — the Voodoo Lounge — plus the Creepy Cafe, and live music/DJs or comedy acts on weekends.

All Hallows Eve Terror Town 1449 Greenbrush Cobb Rd., Williamsburg. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 5. The former grounds of the Old West Fest have been transformed into a Dodge City ghost town, literally. Well, almost literally. A prop fabrication and haunted attraction team has transformed the space into an immersive 19th-century Terror Town with a museum of the occult, restaurants, saloons, games, a movie theater screening classic horror films and wandering costumed characters. The 30-minute haunted trail — inhabited by the remnants of an evil cult — leaves from a desecrated church. Photo: Provided by All Hallows Eve
The Dent Schoolhouse 5963 Harrison Ave., Dent. Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 16-Oct. 31. According to legend, the bodies of several missing Dent Schoolhouse students were discovered in barrels in the building’s basement — and the janitor did it. Housed in an actual public school, Dent offers real ghost tours and lights-out experiences for those looking for a true fright, plus lights-on tours for kids (and wimps).

Wilmington Haunted Hollow 1261 W. Dalton Rd., Wilmington. Fridays and Saturdays Sept. 24-Oct. 29. It’s a ride straight out of hell: fire-breathing semi-trucks chase down buses loaded with passengers as they wind their way through a haunted forest filled with “murder, madness and mayhem.” In addition to the haunted ride, the Haunted Hollow also offers the Slaughter Hotel, a strange underground hotel with a rumored secret floor, scary elevator and electrical laboratory, as well as the Eville Asylum, full of tormented and dead patients, doctors and nurses. They have also added a maze, the Terror in the Dark, complete with a flesh-eating serial killer. Photo: facebook.com/TheWilmingtonHauntedHollowRide

Visitors can also test their bravery at the Farmers Revenge Haunted Barn. Sandyland Acres is cash only. Photo: Facebook.com/shhfr
Heritage Village’s Haunted Village 11500 Lebanon Rd., Sharonville. Fridays and Saturdays Oct. 14-29. Described as a “slight fright,” this haunted attraction is completely kid-friendly and a lower-key haunted experience that won’t leave the youngsters with recurring nightmares until Christmas. The recreated 19th-century village will be stuffed with “ghosts, witches, a fortune teller, a monster, and a cursed archaeologist along the way.” Activities include a walk through a haunted wood or cemetery, plus balloon art, games and a “creepy critter” zoo.
