The Dark Manor Haunted House – Baltic, CT
Step Into Darkness: The Dark Manor Haunted House
Claimed as Connecticut’s #1 scariest haunted house, The Dark Manor is a fully outdoor haunt known for immersive scares, chilling atmospheres, and a reputation that has stood for decades.
Covering winding trails, graveyards, undead creeps, and haunting surprises, it’s built to push the boundaries of fear.
What to Expect

In recent years, The Dark Manor has operated as a fully outdoor haunted attraction. No indoor sets, so the entire experience leans into the open air, the woods, and the darkness itself. - Two haunting zones: The Manor & The Graveyard
You’ll first venture through The Manor, where freaks, twisted environments, and jump scares await around every corner. Then comes The Graveyard / Haunted Village, patrolled by zombies and chainsaw-wielding horrors. - Redesigned for 2025
This season brings fresh layouts and updates designed to intensify the haunt, ensuring even returning visitors face new scares.
