The Devil will have his due at this Louisville haunt and you’re just along for the ride.
The Devil’s Attic is one of the most detailed haunts in the state of Kentucky and features incredible lighting that brings various scenes to life. Rooms have a nightmarish glow. Vampires are out for blood and one poor creature of the night has a stake through its heart. Will you make if through the night or will pure evil consume you? The werewolves at the Devil’s Attic are hungry. An unfortunate soul is inside a cage as he’s ready to transform into a blood beast.
There are interactive elements at The Devil’s Attic and you will get wet. This is a downright scary haunt with scenes of horror that are quite realistic. You will meet Victor Frankenstein and his horrifying creation. It’s alive, it’s alive! Enter ancient Egypt where the dead will rise. The actors are phenomenal at The Devil’s Attic and they have some of the best costumes you’ll come across. These aren’t your cheap Halloween store costumes.

Say her name 3 times to wake her from her slumber. She’s a bloody good time.
The Devil’s Attic has an energetic cast that doesn’t let up for a second. They’re in your face and they obviously love what they’re doing. A few of the standout characters include Medusa, Franklin from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Devil, Uncle Frank from Hellraiser, the priest from The Exorcist and more. There are just too many exceptional actors to name. It’s that good of a haunt. Other movies you’ll experience include The Human Centipede,Evil Dead and others.
My only complaint is that this year’s haunt wasn’t drastically different than last season’s. If it’s your first time visiting The Devil’s Attic or you haven’t been in years then this doesn’t matter. The Devil’s Attic has been consistently great year after year. Its horror movie scenes are some of the best around and its cast of characters are well trained. It’s not the haunt season without making a trip to The Devil’s Attic. Let the Devil unleash his hellish fury and please don’t eat the chili. It’s made from Texans.
