Haunted Plantation

(Oct. 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31) The gloomy path leading to ten houses of terror at this Waipahu plantation sets the stage for the haunted house that made number one on our list. Once you walk through the dark tunnel, the horror that follows is unpredictable and will make you scream. Don’t bother guessing where Michael Myers, ghosts like Samara from The Ring or any of the other 48 incredibly realistic looking monsters, zombies and demons are waiting, because you will fail. And watch your back, because they don’t like leaving you alone that quickly. With its setting, special effects, intense audio, high-quality props and actors who play their role effectively, the plantation seems so real that you almost forget it’s an attraction. $15, $20 Fast Pass, $30 VIP Front Line Access, 7 to 11 p.m., Hawaii’s Plantation Village, 94-695 Waipahu St. (near the old sugar mill), 677-0110, hawaiihauntedplantation.com. Limited parking is available on the plantation and across from Waipahu Street. The line gets very long and a waiting time of 2 to 4 hours is common, so we actually recommend investing $20 for the fast pass.
