For seven years, Roothead Studios has been quietly producing one of the most terrifying, intense, and creepy haunted houses in Montana. The Missoula Haunted House is officially back in business, and it's scarier than ever. Needless to say, we highly recommend it.
The Missoula Haunted House is located at the Missoula Fairgrounds, where it returns every October.
It's wildly successful now, but the first haunted house attempt was humble. Roothead Studios produced a small backyard event eight years ago, and it was such a hit, so the company expanded it the following year.
These days, the Missoula Haunted House is the largest and most sensational Halloween event in the area (and possibly all of Montana).
Actors audition about a month beforehand, and each cast member is trained to terrify.
Each year, a different theme is chosen for the experience.
The 2019 theme is Escape From Hell, which doesn't sound at all horrifying or nightmare-inducing.
It might help to know that some of the proceeds from this scary event go toward a great cause.
Missoula Youth Homes, which has a mission "to help every youth feel safe, have a sense of belonging and find a place to call home" is the beneficiary.
Speaking of youth, the Missoula Haunted House does offer Kid Hours for the brave local children.
That being said, they do not recommend very young children go through the house.
This spooky Missoula tradition costs $15 for adults and $5 for Kid Hours.
You can also pay $20 to go through the express line and get your scream on a little faster.
Come see why so many Missoulians consider this the best annual Halloween tradition.
From now until November 1, the Missoula Haunted House will be in operation on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
To get tickets to the Missoula Haunted House, check out the website. And for a slightly less terrifying experience, walk through the Montana Corn Maze.
