Due to the large number of ghosts they can hold, haunted houses are consistently scarier than cursed sleeping bags, possessed lean-tos, and ectoplasmic studio apartments. Walk through a tortured soul abode with today's Groupon: for $14, you get two general-admission tickets (a $30 value) to The Empty Grave, a haunted house at the Anaheim GardenWalk.

For six years, The Empty Grave has treated bold visitors to a macabre mélange of ghastly scenes and other frights. Unlike haunted studio apartments, which leave visitors wondering whether they're standing in a creepy kitchen or a bloodcurdling bedroom, The Empty Grave is longer than in years past, so each tongue-flailing shriek can run free and frolic. Stumble through the completely redesigned domicile of doom to encounter special effects proven successful on the most unflappable flappers, and animatronics that would make Walter C. Animatron, the inventor of animatronics, roll in his coffin. The Empty Grave is just a few startled steps from the GardenWalk's numerous restaurants and other entertainment options, making it an ideal spot for vocal calisthenics before screaming for ice cream.

• This is the best haunted house I have ever gone through! I've been coming back every year for the past several years thinking that I won't get scared, but never fails, I GET SCARED! The costumes, masks, props, everything is amazing! – aramisbaylou84
