Nightmare on the Bayou

If you’ve ever wondered what causes all those traffic jams on I-10 and Studemont, look no further than Nightmare on the Bayou. It’s a ridiculously scary haunted house located right next to an old graveyard, and is known as Houston’s only actual haunted house. As in, this place is known to have some real spirits lurking about, along with those freaky actors. Lines wrap around the building as Halloween inches closer, which means you should probably check it out. Just watch out for the ice-cold hands; it’ll be hard to tell whether the thing that grabbed you is still rocking a steady heartbeat or lacking a pulse. Either way, it’s a guarantee that you’ll be shaking in your boots for days after.
