House of Horrors returns for 17th season of scares in Abilene
As October arrives in the Big Country, screams once again echo through one of the city's longest-running haunted attractions as Abilene's House of Horrors welcomes guests for another season at Doc's Bar & Grill, 2042 Farm to Market Road 1750.

According to Carrillo, the haunted house originally started as just a small family project in Baird as a unique way to celebrate the spooky season.
