Terror of Tallahassee

Tourist attractions in Tallahassee, FloridaWikipedia references cleanup from May 2021

Terror of Tallahassee is an annual haunted attraction that opens every October in Tallahassee, Florida. With a performance area spanning more than 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) [1], it is one of the largest haunts in Florida. Unlike the corporate haunts with which it competes, Terror of Tallahassee does not admit patrons in a continuous line, but rather, in small groups. It also forgoes modern animatronics in favor of elaborate illusions, gruesome special effects, and a large cast of performers [1]. “Monsters, murderers, and madmen menace isolated customers as they try to traverse the long, twisting passages in the dark" [2]. Because of the intense scares, it is rated PG-13 and parents are cautioned against sending their kids [3].
