Denver Business Journal — The 13th Floor Haunted House in Denver has been named the fifth-best haunted attraction in the U.S., according to America Haunts, the industry group of “premier haunt attractions.”

According to the industry association, there are 1,200 professional haunted houses, 300 theme parks with horror-focused attractions and 3,000 “charity-run spook shows” across the U.S.

Here's what Dallas-based America Haunts says about Denver's 13th Floor Haunted House, located at 3400 E. 52nd Ave.:

In most buildings, the 13th Floor does not exist. But hidden in this building, it's very real in the form of a haunted house built for haunt enthusiasts' darkest fears. Legends and nightmares alike will come to life with a gut-wrenching ride to untold nightmares 13 floors straight down. Amphibious creatures and even a rogue nun will trigger fear. This attraction doubles the cast stunts using zip lines, fliers, wall crawls, and sliders to bring scares eye-to-eye with visitors.

The best, America Haunts reports, employ “fierce storylines, advanced costuming and prosthetics, seemingly perilous leaps by cast using sophisticated gear, and responsive animatronics.” The scariest of the scary might employ 200-plus people in the attraction.
