Linn's Haunted House
Visitors crawl through pitch-black tunnels and descend into a supermarket basement filled with dozens of horror scenes. Guests navigate dark hallways, face moving walls, experience a laser hallway, and avoid a marshy swamp while watching out for flying insects, spider webs, and clowns. The attraction relies on suspense and classic startles rather than gore.
