Take a Campus Tour of the Fright Academy Haunted House
Welcome, scholars, brave and bright,
To Fright Academy this night.
Learn with care, but mind your screams—
Some lessons aren't quite what they seem.
Here's a room-by-room look at so you can know what to expect as you explore this year's Haunted House. Please note: this walthrough contains potential spoilers.
Presented by
Library of Lore
Within these shelves, where candles gleam,
The books are stranger than they seem.
Read softly now—don’t lose your place…
Some stories like to give you chase.
Shadow Shifting
The darkest corners hide the best,
Where silent monsters love to rest.
If something follows where you roam…
Perhaps a shadow found its home.
Class Is in Session at Fright Academy

Haunted House—Fright Academy!
Join other monsters and villains in training at this fabled institution where potions, charms, shadow shifting, spellcasting, and other eerie subjects make up your course load. But be warned: The library is definitely haunted. You’ll lose your appetite once you see the ghastly cafeteria meals. Turn down the wrong hallway and you could end up ensnared in a spider’s web. And being included in the school’s Hall of Fame is anything but an honor. At Fright Academy, every day feels like detention day. So come join the Class of 2026—if you dare.
Open Oct. 9–31, 2026.
