Terror Town Haunted House located in Toledo, Ohio is most definitely one of the best haunted attrac- tions in the world. It is often said that the attraction takes on the personality of its owner. In this instance nothing could be further than the truth. Owner, Mark Roberts, is as unassuming as they get while his attraction is big and bold. Mark started while working for his uncle at a Jaycee haunt while in junior high and caught the bug. Once he graduated high school he replaced his uncle and ran the haunts. From there he purchased Terror Town from a friend of his and the rest is history. With well over 25 years of haunting experience, Mark is quite the seasoned veteran. In fact this past year he was selected to man- age the haunt operations for Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare. In that capacity he helped coor- dinate a 9 day set-up followed by 15 operating days and a 2 day strike. His experience and demeanor were instrumental in being able to accommodate 8,500 patrons in a single night without difficulty.


The main attraction at Terror Town is “The House of the Dead” this continually changing attraction is over 16,000 square feet and takes over a half hour to traverse. Even though the attraction is temporary detail is still a priority. There are no black walls and vacuform panels are utilized for quick scenic elements. What really differentiates Terror Town is the vast amounts of animations. It has been said that Terror Town may have more animations that the whole state of Michigan. We are not talking about the run of the mill small ani- matronics. Mark owns over 2 semi-trailers full of the giant animations. Equipment he says is pure eye candy. While not necessarily the scariest of effects they are always the talk and feature of the local news crews. Additionally he utilizes some old school animations like Stage Fright Studio’s Nefarious along with effects by Tom Savini and Life Formations. Terror Town also features the world’s longest spinning tunnel at 120 feet.
