HalloweenTown In Albuquerque
If you’re looking to celebrate Halloween while you’re in town, check out these events!
Slaughter House
Every Day
Visit the scariest haunted house in Albuquerque, Slaughter House, where Leatherhead, Mother Mary, and their only surviving child roam, looking for more victims to torture. Their other children were killed for being imperfect, but their spirits live on, and after short lifetimes of neglect, they’re hungry enough to eat a person. If you manage to escape the young spirits, you still have to contend with the mutant wolf roaming the house – will you be able to make it out?
