A Sparrows Point tradition for over 40 years, the Fort Howard Haunted Dungeons are BACK for Halloween lovers everywhere!
Thrill-seekers from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and West Virginia have traveled far and wide to experience the pure fright and terror waiting inside.
Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling, hour-long trek through the pitch-black woods of Fort Howard Park, leading you straight into our infamous torture chambers. Haunted since the historical Battle of 1812, these depths are crawling with your worst nightmares—including Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Hannibal Lecter, and so many more. Tell us... do you like clowns? 🤡
Note: Families with younger children (and total chickens!) can hang out in our designated waiting areas or use the bypass points to skip the scariest parts.
