13^th Gate…Step Through the Portal to Insanity

We admit it: the number 13 always calls to us. A haunted house that offers 13 delightfully frightening themed areas is something we simply could not resist. That is what is promised by Louisiana’s 13^th Gate. Of course, Louisiana is no stranger to the dark and macabre. 13^th Gate does not let this reputation down, ushering in the darkness and luring victims in to a world where their worst nightmares lurk and the only escape is facing them all, one after another.

Some haunts offer a creepy haunted house and perhaps a maze. Some may even bring the terror outside and lead you through infested woods and corn fields in search of salvation. 13^th Gate, however, amplifies the torment by forcing you through scene after scene that dig deep to those fears everyone has squirming inside. How would you feel creeping your way through a crematory furnace or brave the back of an antique hearse? Could you stay calm thrust into a pitch black maze of underground tunnels? Would your heart keep beating if you glanced beneath you to find your feet on a creaking bridge and a writhing swarm of snakes below?

When the 13^th Gate haunted house is closed for the season, the building is home to a film industry construction crew. The set designers, lighting and sound technicians, and special effect artists have extensive experience with Hollywood films and have won many awards for their efforts. A massive contingency of over 100 actors, 12 makeup artists, and a wide variety of costume specialists combine their twisted talents for a stunningly terrifying experience well worth a spot on our list.
