I googled "haunted houses, Fairfax, VA" and all that came up was real, historic haunted houses. I'm talking about the haunted houses purely for Halloween entertainment. Does anyone know if there are any around here?

Well I don't know about helloween, but go near that graveyard site on Village Fountain street in Centreville. They took it down or something, and put up new houses. And now those people who brought and live in that place say they keep getting spooked..

I know of one haunted house in Yaht Haven,in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County.

I'm looking for those cheesy "haunted" houses people set up specifically during Halloween......I can't find anything, unless of course I go to DC. All I can find is pumpkin patches and hayrides for kids. Maybe there isn't anything going on in Fairfax. Then again, going to Wegman's on a Saturday gives me a pretty good scare....

Though it wasn't a "haunted house," I went to wicked woods and it was fun. About an hour drive away. http://www.wicked-woods.com/

EDIT: I can't type to save my life today.

You must not have searched very hard because I copy and pasted your exact query into google and the fourth result down takes you to this
http://www.hauntedhouse.com/search/Haunted_Attraction_Directory/_USA_,040All_50_States,041/Virginia/more2.html

The first link on that take you to a place in Manassas

http://www.deadendcemetery.com/

It is probably one of the worst done webpages I have seen done in a while though.

Mofo:

Laughed my ass off when I looked at www.deadendcemetary.com. !!!! And thanks for the other website.

Here I found this site while I was looking today and it has several that you can choose from this is the site for Virgina: http://www.hauntworld.com/find_haunts.cfm?loc=47&more=yes

If you can't get that site to come up try using this one: http://www.hauntworld.com/

Hope you find what you are looking for...

The corn maze in the Plains has nighttime haunted maze type activities as well. Could be spooky

Wow, to be honest, I thought this thread would have more replies than it does.

Try a Yahoo search "halloween fairfax va"....Hollyween (#4 on the list) might be what you are looking for...a "local decorated house open to the public", have never been to it, but looks like it could be fun.

There is a haunted forrest (kinda like haunted House) in the town of Clifton every year. I am not sure what day that is suppose to be though and it may have been last weekend.

Well, for anyone looking in the 2008 season, you can try Bradley Farm Haunted House. www.BFHauntedHouse.com. It is located just of the Fairfax County Parkway near West Ox Road. Very family friendly.

Interesting. Do tell what you know. I've heard about the graveyard at the Centreville McDonnald's but haven't heard about the Village Fountain one.

Don't remember the name of it, but there's a real good one in Maryland. It's in a bus and in large tents and supposedly will scare adults so bad they cry, it's received alot of awards though. I'm not sure if I want to pay someone to make me cry. I'll check out the name

are you thinking of Markoff's Haunted Forest?

I've been to the haunted trail in Clifton! It's not bad. Probably not for most kids under 5 or 6. It's a good laugh with a few scary moments along the way.

Is the Creepy Nights place in Springfield entertaining for adults or is it for kids?
