Forget fake skeletons and dusty jump scares — The Insanitarium in Trussville is not your average haunted house. This psychological fright-fest is back for the 2025 Halloween season with new creatures and a supernatural twist guaranteed to leave guests looking over their shoulders.
Owner Justin McElroy’s signature style skips cheap thrills in favor of atmospheric horror, unnerving movements, and deeply committed live actors. No animatronics. No escape. Just pure, slow-burning dread.
And don’t worry — while it’s scary, McElroy says the experience is still “PG-13 fun,” complete with creepy laughs and haunted hospitality.
