You can't talk about Halloween in Southern Indiana and NOT mention The Catacombs and the House of the Lecter. For more than three decades, these two haunted houses in downtown Evansville have been a must-see for folks who like to get the crap scared out of them - and new in 2024, those two haunted houses are in one spooky spot.

The theme for 2024's haunting season is DOUBLE DARE SCAREFEST!!!

The creepy creatures from The Catacombs have MOVED from the courthouse to their new haunting grounds in The House of Lecter… where they’ve joined forces with Lecter’s frightning BODY SNATCHERS!
