Located Is Ross off of I-35 on the northbound access road (exit 345), this is a two haunt attraction with the Texas Chainsaw Nightmare and the vampire themed Museum of Horrors. The price of each is $13, but the combo ticket is $20 and is clearly the one to buy. A nice giftshop is onsite and a large, decorated tower plays music to set the mood for the haunts.

Museum of Horrors is the only vampire house in this part of the country and begins with a tour of it's impressive lobby, featuring knights guarding the door, caskets, a guillotine, a demon, and various decapitated heads. A tour guide leads you through and the tour ends with the electric chair, where one more evil spirit is released. After a brief chat with the doorman, as you view a poster proclaiming Ross as the vampire capital of Texas, you enter the house and find a Ring room, with Samaire crawling around. Once she gets you running you get into the main part of the haunt with actors who pursue in the passageways, especially a wandering vampire. Gorgeous neon paintings adorn the walls of this place and are worth stopping to look at. The corridors are dark, but there is usually enough light to examine the props and decor. A great evil clown, a mad butcher/cannibal, a crazy man in a huge bathroom scene (not as gross as it sounds) and excellent chainsaw men are the standouts among the actors. The spotted room, and the butcher area, along with the lunatic room are my favorite areas. Combined with the great lobby, this is one of the most creative haunts I've been to.

The Texas Chainsaw Nightmare begins outside as you listen to a track repeated on the PA system informing you of the evil doings of the creatures inside the house. The outside of the house is well decorated and the girls at the door stay in character as the explain the house rules. Upon entering you walk on dirt before crossing a bridge to the demon area, where a minion warns you of the demon and urges you to stay together and on the path. A great thing about this haunt is that you are on dirt most of the time, and it's not always even, so you really get the feel of being out in the middle of nowhere. After the bridge and demon, you travel through a huge graveyard area and then into double chainsaws. In the rest of house you'll find actors looking for their undead loved ones, a maze, a pit&the pendulum scene, and lots of chainsaws. Completely different from the Museum, Texas Chainsaw Nightmare adds variety to an excellent haunt park.
