👻 Houston Haunted Houses 2025: Cozy Nights, Chilly Goosebumps & Full-Moon Thrills

by The Livable Forest — Houston’s #1 Local Social Network

October in Houston feels like a cinematic glow: porch lights flicker, the air smells like cinnamon and cold air, and costumes spill out of closets. I’m an October baby, so I’m here for it all — the candy, the creepy, the campy. But not every haunt is for every family. Some are quirky and cute, others… will test your soul 😅.

That’s why every pick below includes a website, a tap-to-call number, and a map link. If you’re on the fence about “how scary,” call ahead. Better to get honest intel now than to traumatize your big-talk teen mid-maze. (Ask me how I know.)
