The Darkness is considered on of the best Haunted Houses in the United States. If you are in the St. Louis, Missouri region and like to be scared, this is the place for you. The combination of technological special effects and amazing design will scare the most jaded of Halloween connoisseurs.
With 2 stories of newly renovated fear, The Darkness provides thrills and chills. The owners decided not to rest on their reputation but have reinvested in all new special effects. Here is the site described on their website.
The Darkness has undergone a TOTAL renovation bringing the fear level to the ultimate FRIGHT. Start on the first floor and enter a forbidden city of the dead. Once inside the all new ‘City of the Dead’, you encounter everything from a massive 15 foot tall Minotaur to a full sized attacking T-Rex who will come within an inch of your body with snapping jaws ready to take your head off. Then, come face-to-face with head hunting savages, massive monsters, attacking snakes, and more within sets more realistic than any Hollywood movie.
Once you make it to the second floor, be ready for an all-new experience starting off with an old witch’s swamp house full of deadly voodoo. The entire swamp house is moving on a sea of swamp water infested with swamp monsters. Rocking back and forth, you’ll throw off your entire equilibrium. This set is a technological marvel that was featured on the hit television show ‘Modern Marvels’. After the swamp house, you walk across rope bridges that challenge your skills…Careful! Past the rope bridge, you are thrust right inside one of the most incredible graveyards ever created filled with attacking werewolves, and ghoulish ghouls who will raise out of the grave right before your eyes.
The thing that impresses me about The Darkness and it’s owners is that it does not rest on it’s laurels. They have made major improvements for the 2008 season and are in the midst of adding 20,000 square feet of ghoulish terror for 2009. So coming back year after year will never get boring!
The Darkness is conveniently located near the Soulard Market at 1525 South 8th Street in Saint Louis just off where Interstates 55 and 44 come together. Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for children. They also offer a bunch of combination plans with their sister (evil Stepsister?) sites Speed and CreepyWorld.

There is a new haunted house in St. Louis MO this year. Its called the Eureka Butcher and its the largest in the St. Louis area. Everyone who has been through said its the best haunted house they have ever been through. Its 100% Indoors. While your waiting in line, theres even a concesion stand. The haunt takes 30 minutes to go through, and it's not spaced out like all the others in the area. They have high paid actors and have brought in a design team from Hollywood to design it. They're last scence is what definatly sets them apart from any haunted house in the country. Come see what it is, and what everybody else is talking about this year. The best part, is that its only $13 per person. Making it the cheapest, and best in the United States.
