WELCOME TO CITY BLOOD’S 2021 HAUNT AWARDS!
We congratulate all the winners and please enjoy our annual Haunt Awards! Let’s first start with the Haunt of the Year and our Top 10 Haunts. Drum roll please. Haunt of the Year is none other than
1: The Dent Schoolhouse

The Dent Schoolhouse reigns supreme. This is without a doubt one of the best haunts in the nation with incredibly detailed sets, amazing props and some scary ass actors. There’s a reason they’re rated as one of the best haunts by so many media outlets. They’re that damn good and seem to get better with age. We congratulate The Dent Schoolhouse for becoming our 2021 Haunt of the Year.
Rest of the Top 10:
2: USS Nightmare
3: The Haunted Hotel
4: The Devil’s Attic
5: Face Your Fears Hotel of Terror
6: American Horrorplex
7: Fear Fair
8: Nightmare on Edgewood
9: Haunted Town Hall
10: Malice Manor
Enjoy the Awards!
