About

Hotel of Horror is a seasonal haunted house inside the old Lake House Hotel in Saylorsburg. One combined ticket gets you into two attractions: Hotel of Horror, the original five-floor haunted house, and Altered Nightmares, a psychological journey with an occult theme.

The site recommends both for ages 13 and older. They are intense, with loud sounds, dark rooms and mature themes, and the actors do not touch guests.

History

The site says the hotel began as a stagecoach stop in the late 1700s. Charles Saylor built the Saylorsburg Hotel in 1847, and it was expanded into a Victorian hotel in the 1880s and 1890s. The haunted house was established in October 1992.

It is open on fall evenings only. The 2026 season ran Friday to Sunday evenings from September 25 to November 1, and the dates change each year. The event goes on rain or shine, with a covered wait line. Check the calendar for this year's dates.
