Circle of Ash is Eastern Iowa's scariest place to visit this October
Featuring three haunted houses, concessions, games, and more scary monsters than you could dream of.

Visit each of our Three Haunts:

The Manor

We dare you to explore Iowa's most terrifying haunted house. Step back in time in the house where it all began. Follow the footsteps of the little girl who burnt her home and everyone in it to the ground. Although the house was restored and repurposed, every one of its residents has met some sort of horrible end, each a more gruesome than the last. As they say darkness breeds darkness and the house is overcome with it. Will it overcome you too?

Frightmare Forest 

Iowa's scariest haunted trail featuring nearly half a mile of dark and winding paths through the woods. Some say that Frightmare Forest is the origin of the evil that haunts the whole area. See if you can face the darkness and come face to face with monsters in their home, on their grounds. They will happily terrorize you if you don't run away from them screaming first. 

Find your way out of Socko's "Fun" House 

Looking to attract more locals to his "laboratory" the new owner of the manor convinced the county he should host the local fair, the Linn County Fairgrounds were born. As the fair grew, carnies traveled to the fair each year bringing games, prizes and oddities to amuse the public. In one of those years, Socko the clown arrived with the normal carnie folk. That very same year, a great disaster came to the fair. Some say Socko himself was the culprit. Some say he was corrupted by the evil that lurks close by in the forest. But what we know is, the clowns and odd balls still in the midway are demented. They are not safe. They will attack unprovoked. Enter if you dare.

Socko's Fun House is part Fog Maze, it is meant to disorient, disturb, and confuse even the bravest of our victims. And...did we mention we locked all our clowns in there?
