Fear Columbus is a newly designed haunted house in Columbus, Ohio featuring two immersive attractions. Explore this page to learn about what sets us apart from other haunted houses and why we think you should choose to make us your new Halloween tradition.
Fear Columbus features a brand new state-of-the-art sound and lighting system. Our system features over 150 speakers and thousands of individually controlled lights. Feel the sound in your chest with concert grade subwoofers throughout. Every scene features customized audio to match the scene and lighting that brings the sets to life. On top of this, every actor has their own dedicated soundtrack and lighting cued to their act. You won’t find a bunch of actors just yelling in your face here. You will have professionally mastered audio that’s synced to a character’s every move.
Come face to face with the best actors around! Our performance team consists of highly trained actors with professionally designed costumes, masks, and makeup. These actors are acting with our company year-round at all of our events so they are getting much more experience than other haunted house actors you will find.
You will journey through a 40,000 square feet immersive environment featuring Hollywood Quality sets. Our scenes are changed every year and feature changes for each of our off-season events we host as well.
At Fear Columbus, all tickets are sold online only. You select your Entry Time and date when you purchase your tickets. This evenly spreads out our guests over the evening, reduces your wait time, and allows for a much better customer experience all around. We have been utilizing this for the past year and our customers couldn’t be happier with the change!
