DETROIT, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Those screams you are hearing are not from children going back to school. They are coming from the legions of monsters, zombies and ghosts from America Haunts attractions preparing to make the 2014 Halloween season the scariest ever.

The home to nearly 30 of the most terrifying, bloodcurdling scream-inducing haunted houses and attractions in the United States, announced its 2014 season opening schedule.

While haunted house fans in Fort Worth were able to get an early jump on Halloween with the opening of Cutting Edge on Aug. 30, the rest of the America Haunts faithful will get their opportunity in the weeks ahead.

America Haunts attractions annually lure the bravest souls while providing the most safe, fun and horrifying haunted entertainment. To maintain the standard of excellence in the haunted attraction industry, each venue works year-round to present guests with an even more spine chilling experience than their last visit. Staffs featuring high quality technical crews and talented makeup artists and actors combine to provide thrill-seekers the Hollywood-quality scare they seek.

"What makes coming to a haunted attraction so fun is that you can visit with just about anyone from your friends to your family to your significant other," said America Haunts President Ben Armstrong. "People love to be scared. Even more so, they enjoy watching how people they know react to being scared. The Halloween season is definitely a favorite past time for lots and lots of people."
