We can’t list the best haunted houses in Denver, Colorado, without leading with 13th Floor. Named the “scariest haunted house in Colorado” by MTV, the 13th Floor Haunted House brings a whole new level of terror to Denver. This frightening spectacle draws its dark energy from the urban legends of the 13th floor. While most buildings skip or hide the 13th floors due to superstition, the 13th Floor Haunted House preys upon these fears. Located a few blocks North of I-70 and West of Colorado Blvd., brave souls can enter one of the nation’s top haunted houses through November 9th, with tickets starting at just $20 a piece.
