Scoring Criteria Transition: 2026 sits right at a change in our review categories and weighting, so this score isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison to reviews from nearby years under different criteria; worth keeping in mind if you’re tracking a haunt’s rating over time.

Disclosure: The author(s) of this review received free or comped tickets from RIP at Myers Inn in exchange for this review. Despite this, The Scare Factor remains committed to providing our honest, unbiased assessment of every attraction to help you make informed decisions.

Summary

Myers Haunt Attractions – all run by the same owners – includes Myers Inn Haunt, Myers Forest of Fears, and Wolfman’s House of Screams. Myers Inn Haunt, previously known as RIP at Myers Inn, is a haunt in Carthage, Missouri, that we try to make a priority to visit every year! A lot of haunts tend to keep most of their interior design and characters the same from year to year. Myers Inn Haunt, however, does an incredible job of making every year feel like a brand new experience, and we couldn’t wait to see what they had in store… Read More…

Guest Experience9.88

It’s going to be hard to find a better guest experience than the one at Myers Inn Haunt. Every year is different, and every year is a fun experience! While you’re waiting on your turn to enter the haunt this year, you have plenty of options to keep you busy. Hungry? Have some pizza or candy. Thirsty? Try some of their specialty drinks, energy drinks, soda, or hot chocolate. Want to chill and watch a movie? They have one going on a projector. Want some pre-haunt scares? Actors are lurking around almost every corner, waiting for you. Want a tattoo?… Read More…

Immersion9.41

Before you even step inside Myers Inn Haunt, it’s clear how much thought and effort have gone into creating this attraction. The ticket line featured actors and was decorated to match the hotel’s interior waiting area, setting the tone before we even reached the entrance. Despite the long wait, there was plenty to see and do to keep guests entertained, and we didn’t notice anyone growing impatient or bored. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and we certainly were! The “hotel” is home to plenty of restless souls, and visitors get the chance to encounter them throughout their… Read More…

Special Effects9.45

The special effects at Myers Inn Haunt were some of the most impressive we encountered! At one point, we passed a bookshelf where the books suddenly popped out at us, adding an unexpected element to the scene. We also went through two vortex tunnels, which were easily the fastest we’d ever experienced. The spinning was so intense that the dizziness followed us into the next rooms, making it a challenge to get our bearings as we continued through the haunt. Music, sound effects, and lighting were also used to great effect throughout the attraction, helping bring each scene to life.… Read More…

Characters9.51

We were thoroughly impressed by the variety of characters, the actors’ range, and the sheer number of scares they managed to pull off! With an estimated 50 to 60 actors working the night we visited, there was never a shortage of characters popping up to keep us on our toes. Art the Clown was definitely a standout. He lurked creepily around us before suddenly jumping out in front of us – the kind of unpredictable behavior you’d expect from Art! Beetlejuice is a fan favorite at Myers Inn Haunt, and he and Lydia Deetz were both there, staying completely in… Read More…

Scare Factor8.88

I found myself screaming in surprise more often than I expected at Myers Inn Haunt! With an estimated 50 to 60 actors working the night we visited, there was rarely a lull in the action. Around nearly every corner, we encountered either a sudden jump scare or a creepy character who lingered just long enough to make us uncomfortable. What impressed us most was how evenly the attention was distributed among our group, which isn’t always the case in a haunt. Having experienced so many haunted attractions, some of us can be harder to scare than others, but Myers Inn… Read More…
