The 15 Best Haunted Houses & Halloween Haunts near Columbus (2026)
Across the Columbus area, 13 haunts have updated their FrightMaps listing for 2026. Here are the 15 fans like most.
How we picked
Every haunt here is a live FrightMaps listing in the Columbus area. We order by fan likes on FrightMaps, then how complete the listing is (description, photos). Pro status and paid placement never affect the order. Ranks were locked when this list was published; the 2027 list rebuilds from scratch, so posting dates and photos now is how you move up.
