About this Event

“The sad thing would be an old house that wasn't haunted because there was no one left to remember those who had gone before, or to tell stories about them.” -Phyllis A. Whitney, Mystery of the Haunted Pool

Step inside the shadows this Halloween with the American Writers Museum’s Houses of Horror Tour. Explore the eerie halls of literary history, from Poe’s crumbling mansions to Shirley Jackson’s sinister Hill House, and uncover how haunted homes became symbols of fear, family, and the unknown in American storytelling. Chilling tales, dark secrets, and spine-tingling surprises await, if you dare to enter.

Tour is included with museum admission. Advanced registration not required.
