Haunted Houses in Albuquerque
May 19th, 2009 by John Wolfe
When it comes to professional Halloween attractions and haunted houses, it’s slim picking in New Mexico’s largest city. Just to show you how far and few between haunts are here, I’ve seen my Halloween display listed online as an attraction near the Albuquerque area. While I appreciate the promotion, SOS is no where near a professional level haunt. In terms of sheer size, you pretty much have two choices for Albuquerque haunted houses: Primitive Fear and 13th Street Manor.
I was extremely eager to attend Primitive Fear for the first time last year with my video camera in hand, but never received the go ahead from the owners. I thought a walk-through would make a good segment for the Halloween Haunter’s Reality Videos.
For me, the best part about attending a haunted attraction as a patron is going with friends and blending in with the professional scares! It’s always fun to stick close to the most skittish friend (in our case it was the girlfriend of my best friend) in the group. As the animatronic and actor induced scares of the haunt would begin, I could always be counted on to provide some additional frightening moments behind her back.
