Now that fall is quickly approaching, take a look at the most popular scary attractions happening in and around San Antonio, if you dare:
13th Floor
One of San Antonio’s favorite haunted houses is scheduled to return from Sept. 13 to Nov. 9.
This year, 13th Floor Haunted House San Antonio will feature two terrifying themes, the Legend of the Donkey Lady and the Bloodshed.
The Donkey Lady attraction is a horror-themed experience set in the eerie, abandoned ruins of an old terminal and junkyard.
It centers around the legend of the Donkey Lady, who the 13th Floor says was believed to be burned alive and cursed to wander with scorched skin and hoof-like hands.
The Bloodshed will take you inside an abandoned city morgue, where rusted tables and mysterious machinery set the stage for horror.
Stalked by the carver, a butcher turned monster, those who dare to enter must navigate his “maze of madness.”
Fright Fest at Six Flags Fiesta Texas
From Sept. 6 to Nov. 2, Six Flags Fiesta Texas will transform into an immersive horror experience with four new haunted mazes, pulse-pounding live shows and fear-filled scare zones.
SAW: Legacy of Terror, will allow guests to face Jigsaw’s twisted traps in a chilling survival challenge.
Cinema Slasher, inspired by the popular maze at Knott’s Scary Farm, plunges guests into a nightmarish movie reel where classic horror movie themes come to life.
Other mazes include Hexenhaus, featuring a cursed witch’s cottage and Nosferatu, a silent-film vampire nightmare lurking in the shadows.
A haunted attraction pass is required to access the mazes. Fright Fest will take over Six Flags during the evening and there will be less frightening fun during the day at Tricks and Treats: Daytime Family Fun and Oktoberfest.
Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld San Antonio
Howl-O-Scream returns with scarier experiences, including six free haunted houses, eight free immersive scare zones and an evening filled with twisted experiences.
From Sept. 12 to Nov. 1, fan-favorite haunts make their return, including Bunny Bradley’s Ice Cream Shoppe, Milton Creek Manor, the Swamp at Blackwater Bayou, Zombie Horde Dis-Assembly Line and Atlantis: The Cursed Chasm.
The Till Death Do Us Party is also set to return this year. The attraction is an eerie enchantment of a party zone where the celebration of a wedding takes a chilling turn.
SeaWorld’s Spooktacular, running from Sept. 4 to Nov. 2, is a kid-friendly event that will feature a hay maze with Spookley the Square Pumpkin, Ports o’ Skull and in-park trick-or-treating.

The haunted attraction will be open to the public Fridays and Saturdays from Sept. 26 through Nov. 1, operating from 8 p.m. to midnight. It will also be open on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 from 8-10 p.m.
