Haunted Hall of Hoops – This event is a bit outside of our jurisdiction, but we know many of our Cheapsters have ties or know someone down at Indiana University in Bloomington.

The event is FREE and the games and candy portion of the event begin at 2:00 p.m. They even continue through a Cream and Crimson scrimmage.

Haunted Houses:
Fright Manor – Fright Manor is located at 2909 South Meridian Street in Indianapolis. It has been open for spooky entertainment since late September. You can enjoy five haunts for just $20. You can stop by the Butcher Shop, Zombie Alley, Cousin Jed’s Revenge, and more. After all, one good scare deserves another… and another… and another…
Hanna Haunted Acres – Hanna Haunted Acres features a hayride, maze, and four distinct haunted houses. It is located at 7323 E. Hanna Avenue, and offers a variety of ticket options. The common thread through all of them is that it is cheaper to purchase tickets online. Some of the tickets are only available online, and you’ll save $2 each on every kind of ticket you can buy either online or on-site.
The Asylum House – In addition to the standard scares, The Asylum House offers a truly unique experience with Zombie Paintball. General admission is $20 per person, but get a group of at least 15 people together and your tickets are only $15 each. Also, a portion of the money raised from The Asylum House goes toward local food banks. The Asylum House is located at 3801 Madison Avenue in Indianapolis.
