Our Top Four Haunted Attractions

Some attractions are explicitly geared to the Halloween season, while others are available all year. No matter what scary Smoky Mountain attractions you choose to visit, you'll feel your heart pumping with pure adrenaline.

Ghost and Haunt Tour of Gatlinburg

On this Gatlinburg walking tour, everyone will have a chance to learn about the spooky history of Gatlinburg that no one else talks about or wants to remember. The two-hour walking tour is done at night, where you'll enjoy actively hunting supernatural spirits.

Tour times begin at 9 pm, and it's recommended to check in at least a half-hour before the tour starts. Keep in mind this is a one-mile walk, so a degree of personal physical fitness is necessary to enjoy this attraction. Remember to take pictures to mark the occasion.

The Witch Tour: Appalachian Mountains Ghost Tour

The Witch Tour is different from your usual ghost tour. Instead, this tour takes you on a hike into the story behind the Witches of the Appalachian Mountains. While diving into the lore, you'll enjoy going deeper into the woodland forests of Gatlinburg for an untamed experience that will leave you trembling.

This haunted tour satisfies all who seek a scary time while enjoying nature's beauty. If you join the tour on Friday or Saturday evening, you'll enjoy the opportunity to sit around the campfire and participate in the spooky Starlight Campfire Stories.

Frightworks

There's being scared, and then there's being scared so bad you'll never forget the experience. Well, the team at FrightWorks Haunted House aims to be like the second one. Hailed as one of the most original, theatrical, and scariest attractions around, this is one haunted attraction you don't want to miss trying.

Featuring detailed sets, quality acting, and excellent special effects, you're in for an incredible show no matter which zone you choose to explore. There are five zones available, which are as follows:

• Nightmares
• Hauntings
• Dungeon
• Asylum
• Slaughter

Not just a destination for Halloween, this attraction also features special events before Christmas and Valentine's Day, so there's a scare for every occasion.

Mysterious Mansion

This family-owned and operated attraction is open all year, and its family has been scaring visitors for over 40 years. With an early 1900s style house and recent renovations and additions, it's unsurprising they've claimed the title of "Gatlinburg's Oldest and Scariest Haunted House!"

While located off the beaten path on the street of River Road, you'll still be close to the main street, ensuring you can explore the rest of Gatlinburg after getting the hiccups scared out of you. After all, to paraphrase the family, they want to hear you SCREAM!

You can enjoy special Halloween presentations every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from dusk to midnight, while regular shows are Monday through Thursday from 2pm-10pm.
