HAINES CITY, Fla. — Horror House Nights returns to La Loma Ranch for its fifth-anniversary season with Psycho Circus, a new haunted-house theme built around a nightmare world of ringmasters and performers. The announced 2026 season runs October 2 through November 1.

The team began the attraction in Spain in 2022 before presenting its first U.S. season in 2025. In media materials supplied to Ghost Signal Radio, the operators describe rebuilding the haunted house around a new theme each year.

For 2026, the focus is an entire circus environment rather than a collection of clown encounters. The company’s approach combines practical effects, sound, temperature and scent to create a deliberately unsettling atmosphere. Those descriptions come from the creators; GSR has not conducted an on-site review.

The operators confirmed Psycho Circus as the official public name in their follow-up email, superseding the working description in the media kit. They list general admission at $22, Fast Pass admission at $30, a four-person admission package at $80, and teen admission for ages 12–18 at $16. A Fast Pass and T-shirt package is listed at $40.

La Loma Ranch is at 1105 H L Smith Road in Haines City. The supplied kit lists evening hours of 7:30–11 p.m. and recommends the attraction for ages 12 and older. Guests should consult HorrorHouseNights.com for specific operating nights and current ticket details.
