The mazes and trap doors created by ancient Egyptians to protect their most prized treasures are some of the earliest examples of spaces designed to scare people off.
Haunted attractions didn't start brewing in the U.S. until the late 1960s and early 70s. The Jaycees haunted houses, run by local chapters of Junior Chamber International (JCI), are regarded as some of the very first haunted houses in America.
Since then, the public's insatiable hunger for fear has spread like an epidemic. There are thousands of haunted attractions in operation all over the country, with a typical haunt attracting 8,000 guests and some drawing over 60,000, according to America Haunts.
