8 Can’t Miss Orlando Haunted Houses For 2025

From plague-themed haunts to captivating tales of the undead, these unique, community attractions are sure to put you in the Halloween Spirit in 2025.

# 1: A Petrified Forest | ALTAMONTE SPRINGS

Select Nights in October & November

A Petrified Forest has become a Halloween staple in Central Florida. Rebuilt every year on a lot in Altamonte Springs on 436, in between what was once Uncle Jone’s Bar-B-Que and is now a WaWa and an old Thomasville furniture store. What started over a decade ago with one house has grown into several haunted trails, a laser tag experience, food trucks, local bands and more. The trails are long, heavily themed, and very creative. They also allow a great deal of space between groups, so scares aren’t ruined by the group in front of you. The three scare trails for 2025 are Cousin’s Cafe, Templar’s Toy King, and Rancid Rentals.

The team at A Petrified Forest tries to top their haunts each season (in previous years, guests were placed in standing coffins and wheeled into one house). This is an intense experience, and not recommended for those under 13. This year’s haunt begins October 3, and they’ve added an Escape Ride and an Immersive Theater Experience!

# 2: Face The Fear House | WINTER SPRINGS

October 24, 25 & 26

Face the Fear doesn’t have the blood and gore you’d expect from a haunted house, so for those looking for more of a thriller-type experience over a gory one, this haunt is for you. In lieu of the typical haunted house décor, costumes, and gore, Face the Fear provides guests with an intriguing backstory and plot. The 2025 theme is Gator Guardhouse.

Welcome to “Gator Guardhouse,” an immersive outdoor fear attraction that transports guests to a long-abandoned prison, where the legends of former inmates and the remnants of their desperate escape still linger on the premises.

Locked away deep in the swamps of Central Florida, the worst of the worst were sent to the Gator Guardhouse. They were locked away, out of sight, out of mind, and if they escaped they had to survive the gator infested swampland surrounding the prison.

The space for these tours are limited – will you dare to see if you can Escape the Croc?

With a PG rating, this spine-tingling adventure invites visitors to uncover the chilling legacy of the Gator Guardhouse while navigating the terrifying remnants of its dark past.

Tickets are $15.00 for adults | $10.00 for children | facethefearhouse.com
