The Festival of Fears' Holiday Haunts is located in the
former JC Penny's at the Santa Rosa Mall in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
The haunted house is an intense experience that includes sights, sounds, smells and physical effects. You may encounter loud noises, strobe lights, gruesome imagery, fog and artificial smells. While our actors will not touch you, they will get extremely close. While this haunted house is holiday themed, it is not any less intense and should be treated like a standard haunted house.
Kids Tickets
All tickets for the haunted houses are the same price regardless of age. Our haunted house is a very intense experience and is not recommended for those younger than 13. Anyone younger than 13 who wishes to experience our haunted house must be accompanied by an adult, and needs their own ticket.
