--- title: Ripley's Fright Nights description: "I'm counting down the days until Halloween. It is my favorite holiday, so I like to make the most out of the spooky season! (And by \"make the most\" I mean go completely overboard, packing every possible day with fun themed activities.) Luckily, it is easy to fill the fall with haunted happenings if you're in Gatlinburg! If you're in Gatlinburg this October, then you should head down to Ripley's Haunted Adventure for their annual Fright Nights. " image: https://www.smokymountains.me/hubfs/sabina-music-rich-OJy0JHnoUZQ-unsplash.jpg --- [![smokymountainsme-trans](https://www.smokymountains.me/hs-fs/hubfs/smokymountainsme-trans.png?width=300&name=smokymountainsme-trans.png "smokymountainsme-trans")](https://www.smokymountains.me) [![smokymountainsme-trans](https://www.smokymountains.me/hs-fs/hubfs/smokymountainsme-trans.png?width=300&name=smokymountainsme-trans.png "smokymountainsme-trans")](https://www.smokymountains.me) [**](https://www.smokymountains.me/ripleys-fright-nights#) 1 ![featured image 1](https://www.smokymountains.me/hubfs/sabina-music-rich-OJy0JHnoUZQ-unsplash.jpg) Holiday # Ripley's Fright Nights ![](https://www.smokymountains.me/hubfs/BEAADA8B-EAB9-41DB-B81E-479BD788DF9F.jpg) By [Bailee Wilson](https://www.smokymountains.me/author/bailee-wilson) September 11, 2021 ### Posts by Topic - [Activities (152)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/activities) - [Amusement (148)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/amusement) - [Events (106)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/events) - [Family (105)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/family) - [Around Town (97)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/around-town) - [Shopping and Dining (68)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/shopping-and-dining) - [Holiday (64)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/holiday) - [Outdoor (60)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/outdoor) - [Summer (40)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/summer) - [Winter (37)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/winter) - [Free (31)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/free) - [Tips and Tricks (24)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/tips-and-tricks) - [News (23)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/news) - [Date Night (16)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/date-night) - [Music (13)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/music) - [History (10)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/history) - [Nightlife (9)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/nightlife) - [Fitness (7)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/fitness) - [snow (6)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/snow) - [Off-Season (5)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/off-season) - [Contest (3)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/contest) - [Luxury Adventures (2)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/luxury-adventures) - [Season Passes (2)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/season-passes) - [Ski (2)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/ski) - [Weather and Terrain (2)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/weather-and-terrain) - [Golf (1)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/golf) - [House Tour (1)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/house-tour) - [Luxury Homes (1)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/luxury-homes) - [Notable Locals (1)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/notable-locals) - [Services (1)](https://www.smokymountains.me/tag/services) [![Book Lodging](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/534331/41641d6a-06ef-4999-9369-c4aceb52efda.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/534331/41641d6a-06ef-4999-9369-c4aceb52efda) Search I'm counting down the days until Halloween.

If you're in Gatlinburg this October, then you should head down to Ripley's Haunted Adventure for their annual [Fright Nights](https://www.ripleys.com/gatlinburg/haunted-adventure/).  ![hauntadv-facade](https://www.smokymountains.me/hs-fs/hubfs/hauntadv-facade.png?width=485&name=hauntadv-facade.png) Photo from [https://www.ripleys.com/gatlinburg/haunted-adventure/](https://www.ripleys.com/gatlinburg/haunted-adventure/)  Fright Nights is an annual event at Ripley's Haunted Adventure. It takes place each weekend in October and is included with admission each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This year is the 20th annual iteration of the event, so you can trust that it is scary good! At 6 PM, a character parade will kick off the night. Once you enter the attraction, you'll encounter creepy characters around every corner and wind through bone-chilling sets. It is so much fun!!  ![undead-doctor](https://www.smokymountains.me/hs-fs/hubfs/undead-doctor.png?width=539&name=undead-doctor.png) Photo from [https://www.ripleys.com/gatlinburg/haunted-adventure/](https://www.ripleys.com/gatlinburg/haunted-adventure/)  If you can't make it on a weekend, then don't worry- you can still have a wickedly good time.
