Dinner followed by a few attractions makes a manageable evening; there is no need to squeeze every haunted doorway into one night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/attractions\/movieland-wax-museum-stars\">Movieland Wax Museum<\/a>, where movie, television and music figures share the spotlight. Its optional House of Horrors gives horror fans another passage to explore, while anyone who has had enough scares can bypass that section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/attractions\/carnival-chaos\">Carnival Chaos<\/a>, sinister clowns, moving ride carts and interactive screens turn a haunted carnival into a target-blasting challenge. It suits visitors who like their scares mixed with motion and competition. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall. The score gives your group something to debate long after the clowns disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"This spooky ride in Niagara Falls will give you goosebumps.\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t51LbBfy3rw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-extend-the-horror-fun\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extend the Horror Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/attractions\/other-attractions\/nightmares\">Nightmares Fear Factory<\/a>, on Victoria Avenue near the top of Clifton Hill, keeps the evening focused on haunted-house thrills.

Two-person cars travel through black-light scenes filled with ghosts and targets, making it a playful choice for companions who would rather zap the phantoms than brave another haunted house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ghost Blasters Dark Ride\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nWCJZs3wl5Q?start=1&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the group needs a change of pace, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/attractions\/wizards-golf-glow-dark-mini-putt\">Wizards\u2019 Golf<\/a> swaps horror for glowing fantasy. Its indoor, 18-hole course is filled with dragons, castles and colourful characters. A missed putt is about as dramatic as the evening needs to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-3-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849
