The 13th Gate and CarnEVIL
What's Halloween without a night in a haunted house? Visit one of the Top Haunted Attractions in the country and find out what goes bump in the night in downtown Baton Rouge.
13th Gate Haunted House 832 St. Philip Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802
If the very number thirteen seems suspect to you, then you might want to avoid this Halloween event. If, however, you get your kicks by being spooked, shocked, and possibly made to feel sick, then you're in luck again this year. Quite definitely the largest haunted house operating in Louisiana and hailed as one of America's best haunted attractions, the 13th Gate creaks open to admit the city’s thrill-seekers again. After experiencing its forty thousand square feet of hellish vignettes, remarkably realistic costuming, and pants-wetting frights, you'll be begging for mercy. Not for the faint of heart ... or for kids, really; this is scary stuff.
The 2019 season marks the return of CarnEVIL, the Haunted Midway! Scares and dares abound with freaky good food, haunted games, and free live entertainment nightly—including performances by Inferneaux Fire Troupe, a Drown the Clown Dunk Tank, and Jackax's Axe Throwing contest.
Only have a few extra minutes in between frights? Test your wits under pressure in a specialty 5 Minute Escape Room or Ultimate 5 Minute VR. And don't forget to keep an eye out for ghouls that might have escaped from the 13th Gate across the street—they're always on the lookout for unsuspecting victims...
