With new ways to be scared every Halloween, Haunts have been an integral part of Escape Authority since its inception. But what if we told you some of the very best Haunts in the country are not tied to massive theme parks with multi-million dollar budgets, or destinations aided by the lure of popular tourist locales? For years, the true dark horse of Halloween attractions has been the Independent Haunts – fueled by a devilish desire to share their sinister passion. Independent Haunts are the heart and soul of the industry, and often stand tall as highlights of each and every Halloween season.
Escape Authority is honored to announce our 2026 Keys To Greatness – Best Haunt: Independent award winners:
(Mountville, PA)

Congratulations to our winners of the first ever Keys To Greatness – Best Haunt: Independent award!
