7. Jack and Jill’s Haunted Hill
Perched at 3401 W Greenway Rd in Phoenix, Jack and
Jill’s Haunted Hill rounds out the pack with its whimsical-
yet-wicked nursery rhyme nightmare, appealing to a
niche crowd for family-tinged frights. Open select October
weekends (evenings 6–10 PM; check site), it twists childhood
tales into terrors: tumbling pails summon skeletal nannies,
and hilltop “playscapes” hide jump-scare jacks-in-the-box.
Fans love the blend—creepy details like fog-shrouded
swings and echoing lullabies paired with talented actors
who croon threats in falsetto. It’s less crowded than
mega-haunts, fostering immersive chats with ghouls.
Entry around $15–$20. This hill isn’t for tumbling—it’s for
tumbling into terror, a subtle scream in the Valley’s vast
repertoire.
8. UZA MysCreation
Wrapping the list at 2935 W Libby St in Phoenix, UZA
MysCreation emerges as an under-the-radar charmer,
popular among families for its balanced boo-factor
and creative flair. Available weekends through Halloween
(hours 7–10 PM; book online), this traveling-themed
haunt morphs rooms into graveyards and mansions with
dim lights, chilling effects, and kid-friendly pacing—scares
thrill adults without traumatizing tots. What earns quiet
acclaim? The thematic depth: surprises like animatronic
specters and bilingual nods (¡muy bien!) make it inclusive
for Phoenix’s diverse crews. Tickets $15–$25; dial 602-617-6260.
In the desert’s mosaic, UZA crafts creation that’s universally
spooky, a subtle spell for all ages.
