The coronavirus pandemic – and the reactions to it – have produced a fair share of scares that kinda make you wish for some run-of-the-mill heebie-jeebies.

This Halloween season, several haunted attractions are answering the call.

Operators say they’re monitoring public health situations and taking safety precautions prescribed by health officials by including the expectation of face masks and social distancing. The idea is to make their manufactured scares an antidote to the terrors reality is dishing out.

Here’s a look at five places around the Chattanooga area where you can chase down a few scares. Just know that eventually you’ll have to come back out to face the frights of the real world.

And remember, it’s always a good idea to check websites before you go for full details and recent updates.
