The Fun House of Fear is the longest running haunted house at Lagoon and has become a common part Frightmares. It was created when Lagoon took the original Nightmare Midway and cut it in half creating a second haunted house in the Davis Pavilion. The Fun House of Fear has been in the same location since its creation. It is also the only haunted house that used 3D paint, and guests are given 3D glasses upon entering to use while enjoying the house.
Frightmares is the name of Lagoon's Halloween event that occurs at the end of the park's operating season. This event lasts for about 5 weeks and includes haunted houses, live entertainment, a couple of children's attractions, ghouls wandering the midway, and the usual lineup of rides. On top of that, Lagoon dresses up the park with plenty of decorations, has haunting music, and places fog machines throughout the park. The transformation from the normal Lagoon midway to the Frightmares midway is something to behold and enjoy.
The main focus of Frightmares is, of course, the haunted houses. Every year, Lagoon converts some of their pavilions and terraces into haunted houses. Most of these houses can be found next to Air Race and behind The Bat. Lagoon also converts the Pioneer Pavilion in Pioneer Village into a haunted house. Additionally, Lagoon converts the north end of Pioneer Village into the Pioneer Village Scare Zone.
In 1995, Lagoon introduced park guests to "the dark side of Lagoon" with the introduction of Frightmares, their yearly end of the season Halloween event. During its first year, Frightmares featured just one haunted house, the Nightmare Midway, which was designed by Drew Hunter, aka Dr. Blood and President of Vorta, a company that specialized in Halloween and haunt design. The original Nightmare Midway was a wonderful haunt with the theme of a demented traveling carnival featuring oddities such as a fat lady, a funeral fun house, and a knife thrower, as well as carnival games that participants could play. The Nightmare Midway was placed in the Davis Pavilion, which still houses two of Lagoon's haunted attractions today. A large carnival-like façade was placed over the front of the pavilion, which served as the entrance and exit to the haunted house.
In addition to the Nightmare Midway, Lagoon also transformed the Speedway Sr. Ride, now removed, into the Utah Troll Road. The troll road featured ride operators in troll costumes operating the ride as well as scaring participants as they drove their car around the Speedway track. The Carousel Theatre was also transformed into an attraction as well featuring periodic live Halloween music as well as spooky story telling for the kids. After the stories, kids could follow a "pied piper" character around the area to go trick-or-treating. Finally, Lagoon featured a parade of ghouls and zombies that walked around the park interacting and entertaining guests, but at the same time being careful not to scare little kids. To help add to the transformation of the Halloween haunt, Lagoon also created a "Legend of Frightmares" story that was printed in the flyer given to guests as they entered the park. Sadly, no copies of the Legend of Frightmares have surfaced on the internet that we are aware of.
The lines for the haunted houses can be long and slow moving during Frightmares. For those who are willing to pay extra, Lagoon offers the Time Warp Fast Pass that allows pass holders to skip the lines to the haunted houses. It costs $17 to buy a Time Warp pass or $16 for those with season passes. Guests can purchase a pass at the Time Warp booth located between the Nightmare Midway and Malevolent Mansion, at Guest Services, or any one of the Lagoon merchandise shops.

At least the spinning tunnel works in this attraction. The one in terror ride doesn't, anymore.
It's actually on dracula's castle, and I think they turned it off because people kept touching it.
