Fall activities in Tucson for Halloween and beyond

[ad_1]

Since October brings cool weather, it also brings the excitement of the fall festivals with it. Tucson makes up for the lack of autumn with its fascinating and exciting experiences. Here are some activities to get you that fall feeling.

The slaughterhouse

The SlaughterHouse is a Tucson horror fan’s favorite creepy seasonal activity as it involves the fear of a true haunted house. In 2009, the 1950s Meat Packing Factory was transformed into five terrifying homes, each with something different.

This year, The SlaughterHouse has improved its games due to extensive renovations going on. In 2020 all five houses became a terrifying experience with eccentric animatronics, characters, and special effects.

As if it didn’t have to be more scary, the meat packing factory is a true haunted house. In 2017, Ghost Adventures, a paranormal investigation series run by the Travel Channel, was banned with Post Malone. They confirmed a cyclone of paranormal activity and reported that Malone was visibly disturbed after the investigation was over.
