The Factory of Terror, located in Canton, Ohio, is one of the LARGEST INDOOR HAUNTED HOUSES IN THE WORLD, recognized by Guinness World Records three times for this achievement. There are plenty of haunted houses in Ohio, but none MANUFACTURE NIGHTMARES as startling and as intense as the Factory of Terror! Factory of Terror’s reputation for industrial thrills and chills draws massive crowds from the tri-state area every year.

This enormous haunt is more than a mile long and consists of five unique spine-chilling attractions. All four attractions (or scare zones) operate linearly and are re-queued along the way to maintain spacing between groups. Every haunt’s queue line is indoors and out of the weather, a big plus when dealing with NE Ohio’s unpredictable weather. To take advantage of every minute, talented actors and performers are scattered throughout the queue lines to entertain patrons as they anxiously await to enter each attraction.

Before entering the massive building, guests will have the opportunity to buy liquor and beer at the “Carnevil” Bar. After the first queue, patrons will be able to stop for another quick refreshment at “Poison Ivy’s” Greenhouse Bar. Halfway through the heart-pounding tour, patrons will be able to visit the midway, “French Quarter at the Factory.” Here, guests can take a breather, enjoy concessions & more with the friends while being transported into Bourbon Street and the French Quarter of New Orleans. We might even have some treats for the over 21 crowd at Forsaken Bar on Bourbon. Over the years, this once quick pass-through area has emerged into a fun-filled gathering place full of activities, and that tradition has only gotten even more exciting. It also allows timid patrons time to calm down, regroup, and gather their courage to continue on to our final spine-tingling attractions.

Not only do we have some of the most HIGHLY DETAILED AND ELABORATE SETS in the haunt industry, they are paired with an incredibly talented team of scare-actors and specialty performers. The Factory of Terror employs over 120 actors and staff, in addition to more than 500 of the industry’s scariest monsters and high-tech animatronics. The Factory of Terror has committed itself to keeping up with current product developments in the industry as well as the trends of the culture, both of which are reflected in the guests’ experience.

As you exit the final attraction, you will be directed through the jaw-dropping “One Eyed Jack’s” Pirate Bar. In this area, guests can kick back and relax with some drinks, visit the food truck, and dance while browsing our gift shop:  The SCARE SHOP at the Factory of Terror. There you will find FOT, Halloween, and horror pop culture merchandise. Such as t-shirts, hoodies, hats, Pop! Funko toys, socks, home decoration items, plushies, and SO MUCH MORE! Proudly featuring shirts from The Halloween Shirt Company.
