Like Santa Claus on December 26, the ghouls and goblins of Dark Hour Haunted House are getting some much-needed R&R.

Face coverings required for all guests.
Price: $40
Dates: October 29-31
Hallowfest
2201 East Road to Six Flags Street, Arlington
Six Flags Over Texas transforms into 212 acres of terror in so many forms, whether it’s being chased by a chainsaw-wielding madman while you’re trying to buy a funnel cake or that split section regret before you make that 255-foot, 85mph drop on the Titan in total darkness. Masks that cover the mouth and nose required of all visitors.
Price: $39.99-49.99; Free with $59.99 2021 Season Pass (which includes Hurricane Harbor access)
Dates: Weekends in October
Hangman’s House of Horrors
4400 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth
Explore the main haunted attraction, a 45-minute spine-tingling affair, but don’t forget to check out the smaller, Zombie-infested attraction—OUTBREAK (how appropriate). To avoid a real outbreak, temperatures will be taken of all guests, who are required to wear masks, and tickets are timed to avoid crowding.
Price: $34 (VIP tickets are $54)
Dates: Weekends in October with additional dates leading up to Halloween
Haunted Tall Tales
300 Reunion Boulevard East, Dallas

Purchase tickets close to sunset to watch the view changed from day to night. Guests are required to wear face masks and timed entry procedures are in place.
Price: $45
Dates: Daily through Halloween
The Parker House
8550 West University Drive, Denton
