There is nothing like a good scare for Halloween and the metro area has lots of frightful opportunities. Many have coupons on their sites or through internet coupon sites, so you might even get a discount on your shivers. Some also offer VIP tickets for an extra charge that takes you to the front of the line.
Parents, use caution with these creepy houses. Some are way too scary for the youngest goblins.
Oaks Park Scaregrounds
The event features three horrifying haunted walkthrough attractions and side-shows, as well as Oaks Park amusement rides, games, mini golf, roller-skating and concessions. Tickets start at $25, ride bracelets and game pass are extra.
The Fear PDX
The Fear PDX is an eleven-part haunted house, one of the largest in Portland, with timed ticketing. This year’s offerings include two escape rooms. Tickets start at $29.99.
Haunted House at Spirit of Halloweentown
The Haunted House in St. Helens is scary and may not be suitable for all ages, though there’s plenty of kid-friendly fun to be had in the rest of the Halloween-themed town! Haunted House admission is typically $12 for kids and $30 for adults.
Underhill Haunted House
Get spooked in the 40,000 square foot basement of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Purchase timed tickets for this scare experience. They also offer a Kids Monster Fest for children under age 12 on October 21-22, from 12-3 pm. Tickets start at $30 for the full experience, $9-$12 for the Kids Fest.

Cinema of Horrors Drive-In and Haunted House
Watch a drive-in movie at the Clark County Fairgrounds with actors creating a live-action horror experience outside your car. The film schedule includes family nights with less scary movies like Casper and Ghostbusters, but most of the films are horror flicks. (You can also visit their Cinema of Horrors Haunted House farther north in Kelso, for a traditional walk-through experience.) Not recommended for children under age 10. Tickets are $49-$69 per car.
