The attraction features state-of-the-art special effects

ATASCADERO — This Halloween marks a milestone as The Haunt in Atascadero celebrates its 10th anniversary. To commemorate a decade of delivering spine-chilling thrills, they are unveiling our latest haunt: “Dr. Frankenstein’s Monsters.” This year’s experience dives deeper into the darker side of innovation and terror, exploring the untold stories of one of literature’s most notorious scientists and his macabre creations — beyond the infamous monster that bears his name. 

“Dr. Frankenstein’s Monsters” invites thrill-seekers to journey through the twisted corridors of Dr. Frankenstein’s secretive laboratory, hidden away from the prying eyes of the sane world. Guests will encounter the haunting remnants of his lesser-known yet equally formidable experiments. 

“The lore of Frankenstein is vast, but the focus has always been on the one creature,” said Chris Towers, the executive director and lead production engineer at The Haunt in Atascadero. “We wanted to expand the narrative to showcase a darker yet untold chapter of Dr. Frankenstein’s work. These creations embody his unchecked ambition and the eerie consequences.” 

This anniversary season, celebrating 10 years of haunting Atascadero, promises to scare and immerse visitors in a narrative that blends classic gothic horror with original storytelling. The attraction features state-of-the-art special effects, skilled actors, and detailed set designs that bring this horrifying tale to life. 

“Dr. Frankenstein’s Monsters” is open every Friday and Saturday from Sept. 27 through Nov. 2, with additional scares on select Sundays and Halloween. Detailed information and tickets are available online at thehauntinatascadero.com.
