The best haunted houses in America share one mark of distinction: Top Haunt certification from the Haunted Attraction Association.

This page lists every certified Top Haunt by state, with dates, official sites, and deeper looks at the haunts we have covered and interviewed.What Is a Top Haunt?
The Haunted Attraction Association is the haunt industry’s trade body, with a mission of protecting customers, promoting haunted attractions, and educating the professionals who run them. To earn Top Haunt certification, an attraction must be an HAA member and meet a ten-point standard covering safety, professionalism, and industry leadership. The 2026 list recognized a record 74 attractions across 27 states, spanning the long-running Iconic tier plus the newer Gold and Silver tiers, up from 67 in 2025. This page reflects that 2026 list, the most recent published.
With certain haunted houses getting a reputation for being unsafe for patrons for various reasons, having a certification from the HAA is truly the gold standard.
Haunt safely, my friends!
