Halls of Horror, Lubbock

A maniacal laugh echoes throughout a dark room. Seconds later a woman screams. Perhaps a demented clown has taken another victim or a group of crazed inmates has finally seized the asylum. It could be anything at Halls of Horror, where psychotic killers and flesh-hungry zombies roam both indoors and out in search of unsuspecting victims. The park encompasses more than 20,000 square feet of terrors and spans four attractions—Halls of Horror, Psych-O-Ward, Trenches of Hell, and Dead Man Hanging—that are guarded by a different scare, from crazed butchers chopping something other than the typical meat to mad doctors performing experiments and unnecessary strep tests. Lucky for thrill seekers, all players are either portrayed by animatronics—some of which tower over visitors at 20 feet tall—or actors who are specifically instructed not to touch customers.
