Denver's 13th Floor Haunted House Ranks Number One in USA Today

I complied a list featuring the scariest haunted houses for USA Today– and there was only one clear choice for the no.1 spot- Denver’s 13th Floor Haunted House. Inside find zombies and mayans at the set up in RiNo District. Chris Stafford and Warren Conrad start the experience with an “undead scene,” where individuals make their way through a zombie infested neighborhood full of ravaged houses and back yards. Throughout the rest of the 13th Floor, guests will find themselves running scared through Mayan ruins and the favorite of so many- the laser swamps.

So, how do two guys make national news for making the scariest haunted houses in the nation? Warren’s start in the industry came after he responded to an ad looking for monsters in a newspaper. Chris took the steps into terror after a family friend asked him if he wanted to “scare people.” Equipped with new costumes they were ready for their new job. The time came for both to move on, but the spooky world of haunting chased them down.

After many separate entrepreneurial careers they teamed up to turn what they enjoy into a business. The two started with the Asylum Haunted House in 2002 and later opened the 13th Floor. Each year, the two revamp each haunted house from to bottom to make for a completely new experience.

The haunted houses never sleep; it’s a year around business. “Sometimes we go a little overboard,” Warren admits. That’s exactly what you want to hear from someone who is out to scare you! They make sure they hit every sense for visitors. You will see death, hear grueling noises, smell the unimaginable, feel spider webs sweep across your skin and of course taste fear with every cautious step you take.

Two completely different properties have resulted from their vision and creative energy. The 13th Floor explores what creatures and monsters could be living on such a haunted floor. You will experience the power of animation, effects, fantasy and supernatural powers.

The Asylum takes you on a journey through a hospital filled with sheer horror. This haunted house is so spooky because of the realism it creates.
