spookhouse
Haunted carnival ride
A spookhouse is a haunted house attraction—a building or maze designed to frighten visitors with dark corridors, costumed actors, and startling effects.
The term appears most often at carnivals, amusement parks, and Halloween events: We waited an hour to get into the spookhouse.
