THE CINCINNATI HAUNTED HOUSE HALL OF FAME

With their expansion to the second floor and a stepped up acting presence, it's time to honor the many years of quality charity haunting put on by the Dungeons of Delhi! Long considered the best haunt value in town, the event has consistently put on an excellent and creative show with pro haunt production values. With a quickly growing cast of memorable characters such as Mad Mark, Mad Matt, The Keeper, Scruffy, Chainsaw Cec, Ch33zd00dle/Hector and his brother, the Dark Lord, Gore, and more, the future looks bright for the longtime event.

From here on out, the Cincinnati Haunted House Hall Of Fame will only be inducting a selection every fourth year (otherwise virtually every haunt from the 70's and 80's would end up being listed-and this is only for the very best). Our next inductee will be enshrined in 2013 and will be from years gone by.
