Halloween in Southeast Texas is about to get scarier than ever, as Terror Isle Haunted House launches its fifth season with an all-new theme — The Abyss. This year’s production takes guests deep into an underwater nightmare, where a cursed pirate treasure unleashes horrors across the island.
Located just 30 minutes from downtown Houston in Texas City, Terror Isle has built a strong reputation for its cinematic storytelling, elaborate sets, and spine-chilling performances that go far beyond the average haunted house.
What’s New for 2025: The Abyss
This season, fans can choose from three terrifying experiences:
The Abyss Haunted House – A walkthrough attraction where the Pirate King’s curse follows guests around every turn.
Tickets: $29.55 per person
Horror Games – A 30-minute interactive scavenger hunt in which groups of four to ten are hunted inside the attraction.
Tickets: $29.55 per person
The Ultimate Experience – A full night of terror including two escape rooms, The Abyss haunted house, and a tarot reading finale.
Tickets: $41.25 per person
More Than Just a Haunted House
Owner Craig Watt says the goal is not only to scare but to immerse visitors in a fully realized world.
“We didn’t just build a haunted house — we create a living world of creatures and nightmares. The Abyss is our most ambitious story yet, and Houston audiences won’t want to miss it,” Watt explained.
Terror Isle is designed to welcome a wide range of thrill seekers — from groups of friends and families with teens to hardcore horror fans. Plus, the attraction is wheelchair accessible, making it more inclusive for visitors.
Tickets and Availability
Tickets are on sale now and must be purchased in advance for a reserved time slot. Organizers strongly recommend booking early, as previous seasons have sold out quickly.
Guests ready to face The Abyss can learn more and secure their tickets directly through Terror Isle’s official website.
As Halloween nears, Terror Isle’s The Abyss promises an unforgettable mix of horror, suspense, and cinematic thrills that will leave guests shaken long after they leave. For Houston-area thrill seekers looking for more than just jump scares, this immersive haunted world is the must-see Halloween event of 2025.
