25 Years of Fear: The Evolution of Bennett’s Curse
In the DMV, haunted houses come and go… but for a quarter of a century, one name has stood tall, striking terror into the hearts of thousands each Halloween season: Bennett’s Curse Haunted House.
What started as a small passion project in 2001 has grown into a nationally ranked scream factory, recently named #2 on Hauntworld’s Top 13 Haunted Attractions in the Nation for 2025. Now, as Bennett’s Curse celebrates its 25th Anniversary Season, fans are invited to relive the past, experience new horrors, and become part of haunted history.
🎃 The Beginning: A Dream in Darkness
In 2001, Bennett’s Curse opened its doors with one goal: to bring big, cinematic horror to Maryland. Inspired by medieval fantasy, gothic legends, and classic monsters, the attraction quickly gained a reputation for its larger-than-life sets and terrifying live actors.
From the very beginning, Bennett’s Curse was more than just a haunted house — it was a production.
🏰 Growth into a Legend
Over the years, Bennett’s Curse expanded into multiple themed attractions under one roof, creating a continuous 30+ minute nightmare. Guests no longer wandered through a single haunt — they were immersed in a full-scale horror world.
Highlights include:
-
Inferno 3D: A mind-bending, otherworldly scare with blazing neon effects.
-
Legends of Halloween: Where classic horror meets gothic storytelling.
-
Underworld: A dark descent into demonic realms.
-
Ravenbrook Asylum: Twisted doctors and deranged patients that never let you escape.
Each season brought new terrors, proving why Bennett’s Curse consistently raises the bar.
👹 Iconic Monsters & Hollywood-Level Design
From the towering horned demon to the blue axe-wielding beast, Bennett’s Curse has introduced original monsters that became icons in the haunted attraction world. Combined with Hollywood-quality sets, animatronics, and sound design, every detail is designed to overwhelm the senses and plunge guests into a nightmare they won’t soon forget.
It’s no wonder Bennett’s Curse is known as the DMV’s #1 Haunted Attraction.
🏆 National Recognition
Bennett’s Curse isn’t just loved by locals — it’s been recognized on the national stage. Featured in media outlets, TV specials, and most recently named #2 in the Nation by Hauntworld for 2025, it’s proof that what began in Dundalk has become a legend in the haunted industry.
