Horror Hotel in Chatfiled, Ohio comes in 8^th place in the list of Haunted Houses in America.

Here is Haunted Attractions describing the Haunted Hotel:

Visitors to Horror Hotel start their visit at the front desk where they meet the friendly hotel staff, including the Wicked Witch cleaning lady (she’s so good with a broom), Quasimodo as a Bellhop (very experienced with bells), the cannibalistic Leatherface as the house Chef, and various living-dead desk clerks and maids. Patrons visit the hotel library, where there is always something supernatural going on. Once the various movie Frankenstein monsters got together to look up legal advice for their class action malpractice suit against the Frankenstein family. Another time, noted FBI Agents Scully and Mulder showed up to investigate reports of spooky and mysterious goings-on (which they failed to confirm, despite being surrounded by obvious supernatural manifestations and weird creatures peeping at them from every corner). Horror Hotel also has its own Medical Lab, which has featured such sights as Jason waiting for the on-duty Mad Doctor to pry the axe out of his head, Hellraiser’s Pinhead getting an acupuncture treatment for his splitting headaches, and Mr. Hyde injecting a batch of pumpkins with the famous Jekyll/Hyde Serum and thus creating… Jekyll-Lanterns!

The sound of bones breaking echo through the halls. Fall ill here and all is lost. This, and so many more new sinister sights to be seen have been crammed into our haunted halls. Things you must see to believe.

The blood will flow like you have never seen before in this years Haunted Hoochie at Dead Acres. So as the winds of change smother out the heat of summer, and the smell of autumn leaves burning rise into the air, we await you here. Look into the night for the fire that rises into the sky.(via forum)
