Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Halloween wouldn’t be quite complete without visiting a few haunted houses, and Texas is home to one of the best in the country. 13th Floor has locations all over the country, and two are right here in the Lone Star State: Houston and San Antonio. From deranged clowns to cursed mirrors, this infamous destination promises the fright of your life.
With locations in both San Antonio and Houston as well as several other states, 13th Floor was ranked among the top five haunted houses in the country by USA Today. Whether or not you scare easily, all who visit this horrific haunt can expect the fright of their life.
Each year brings different themes, from creepy clowns to traditional haunted hotels and everything in-between. Your pulse will quicken with every successive step, as you wait with baited breath to see who -- or what -- lurks in the shadows.
At the San Antonio location, you'll have two attractions to choose from. The first is a human slaughterhouse whose stench of decomposing bodies attracts hordes of the undead.
There's also an abandoned town overrun by deranged carnival clowns. It's a circus of deadly proportions, and the greatest trick will be if you can make it out alive.
In Houston, a twist on the classic tale of Bloody Mary is after your very soul. Can you manage to get through the house without gazing into a single mirror? Just one mistake could prove catastrophic.
It all starts on September 12 in Houston, and September 18 in San Antonio. Tickets aren't yet on sale, and price details have yet to be released, so keep checking the websites for updates.
Special precautions have been enacted to keep visitors safe. All staff will wear face coverings and have their temperatures checked, capacity will be limited, surfaces will be sanitized, and social distancing will be enforced. Guests will also be asked to wear masks, and hand sanitizer will be readily available.
