Ahh! Top places to scream on Halloween

It’s that time of year again — time to scream and cringe at the sights and sounds of haunted houses, hospitals and forests.

Fresno county is home to several haunted attractions that provide all the screams one could ask for.

From the Haunted Hay Ride at Hobbs Grove to the Haunted Asylum of Fright Night Scream Park, there is a level of terror suitable for most.

Valley residents will find the scariest haunted attractions in Clovis and Sanger.

These Halloween attractions provide an opportunity to do something out of the norm, whether it is on a date or just a night out with friends.

For about the same cost of going to a movie, throughout October, these haunted attractions are offered for the excitement and thrill of being spooked.

Fresno State students can take a short trip east on Shaw Avenue, no more than a 10-minute drive from campus, and experience two of the most popular haunted attractions in the Fresno and Clovis area.

The notorious haunted mansion, Wolfe Manor, in Clovis (just south of Shaw on Clovis Avenue) is believed to be truly haunted.

Wolfe Manor has become a destination for paranormal investigators and even appeared on Sci-Fi Channel’s “Ghost Hunters.â€Â To tour the mansion, an appointment must be made. The cost is $20 per person, and children are not allowed.

Fright Night Scream Park is another attraction just one block south of Shaw, on Clovis Avenue, and claims to be “the scariest haunted house in the Fresno and Clovis area.â€Â

Here, there is more than 20,000 square feet of terror among four attractions within Scream Park. There is a Haunted Asylum, Desecration, Necropolis and 3D Psychosis, at $9 per attraction or $28 for all four.

Here, it is recommended children under 12 do not attend.

For a less frightening place to go with the family or younger ones, Hobb̢۪s Grove gives options for entertaining children and mellow haunted hayrides.

Sanger is home to the popular and frightening Hobb̢۪s Grove, not too far south on Highway 99.

Spread over 36 acres, the grounds include a haunted forest, haunted house and haunted hayride, with plenty to provide a scare.

Hobb̢۪s Grove also offers full concessions, fire pits and entertainment for all ages. The haunted attractions here range from $10-$12.50 or $32.50 for all three.

For the best of the haunted attractions, these are the places popular in the Valley.

To enjoy exciting thrills can with family and friends, both Clovis locations do the job.
