Haunted houses in Corpus Christi – Autumn in Corpus Christi is the best time for many people to enjoy the area, as temperatures fall and the high-season crowds of summer dwindle. If you are on the hunt for Corpus Christi October events, there are tons of activities and entertainment waiting for you. From the renowned local Dia de los Muertos Festival to the fun corn maze at Rockin’ K Farms to pumpkin patches large and small, there is something for everyone. Here, for example, is a brief list of some of this spooky season’s top haunted houses in Corpus Christi and the surrounding local area.
THE HAUNTINGS OF BOOGEYMAN HAUNTED HOUSE
The Hauntings of Boogeyman Haunted House is open between 8:00 pm to 12:00 midnight, Fridays and Saturdays through October 29, and on Halloween Monday, October 31 from 8:00 pm until the last person in line exits. It is wheelchair accessible and open to all ages (though children must be accompanied by an adult and able to walk through the maze on their own). The cost is $20 for general admission or $35 for VIP tickets which allow you to skip the line.
