House of Horror Haunted Carnival
This event has passed.
South Florida’s largest Halloween carnival returns with new haunted houses, scare zones and unlimited rides inside the abandoned Sears at Miami International Mall. The 2025 edition of House of Horror Haunted Carnival spans more than 500,000 square feet, including five brand-new attractions. This year’s new haunted houses include Blood Moon Bayou, where spirits rise under a cursed swamp moon, Howie’s 3D Playground, a distorted clown funhouse, and Base 13: Undead Frontier, a post-apocalyptic Wild West maze. Visitors will also encounter twisted scarecrows in Fear in the Deadlands and roaming clowns in the Midway Mayhem scare zone.
Guests can also explore the haunted midway, ride the “Scarecoaster,” and enjoy unlimited carnival games and attractions, all included with admission. Food and drink vendors, including Cervecería La Tropical as official beer partner, add to the festival atmosphere. Special themed nights include:
