Haunted Houses Celebrating Valentine’s Day 2017

Last year we listed Valentine’s Day haunted houses, which proved pretty popular actually. (Hits-wise. It’s the special post that gets any comments.)

Anyway, we thought: “Why not do it again this year?”

We meant to have it pulled together before now, but…well, “better late than never” seems to be our motto around here.

At any rate, if you’re looking for a way to spice up your love life this Valentine’s Day, consider a haunted house. According to the Date Report, haunted houses are the perfect first date after all. (Or second date, or 400th date…)

Which seems crazy. However, there’s a science behind the madness. We refer you to CNN’s “Go scare yourself! It’s good for you.”

Do we have you sold on haunted houses yet? Great!

Below are the ones that are open for your dating pleasure.

Like last year, we’ve listed the haunted houses by state and linked the haunt’s name to its website.

However, for easier navigation, we’ve included a handy jump link table. (Like the ones we’ve got on our Ghost Hunting Events and Paracons & Horror Fests pages.)

Hopefully that makes it easier for you to check out whatever state you’re interested in. (Not all states have haunted houses open for Valentine’s Day, but a fair amount do.)

P.S.

If haunted houses are too extreme for you, you can get the same relationship boost by cuddling up to watch a horror movie with your boo. To learn more about that, ModernHorrors.com posted a brilliant bit o’ infotainment explaining it all. Check out: “Can Horror Enhance Your Sex Life?” (Totally worth the read!)

No matter what you do, we hope you have a bloody good Valentine’s Day! 😈
