The Haunted Labyrinth is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of the youth of Rhode Island. Our haunted house is run entirely by adult and youth volunteers. It started many years ago with the goal of encouraging leadership and ministry while providing a scary and fun attraction to the public.

​

How It Came To Be

​

The Haunted Labyrinth first began in 1985 as a simple Haunted House started by a group of teenagers .The Haunted House was constructed in the gym on the St. Lawrence Church property and was even advertised on WHJY-FM.

In 1989, the Haunted House moved to its latest home at a Youth Center in Cranston, RI.

​

In the early 1990's, the Haunted House bought out Scream in the Dark, a popular Tops' Field Massachusetts attraction. This helped elevate the Haunted House with new masks, costumes, and props. The house itself went through a change in design to make it longer and mores space efficient. This time period is also when we officially became the Haunted Labyrinth.

​

As we hit the new millennium, the Haunted Labyrinth morphed once more, adopting many of the traits it is known for today. The Victorian House facade was first constructed, becoming the influence for our logo. During this time was also when we began doing themed haunts, which has become our most popular feature to this day.

​

As important as the raising of funds for our organization, so too is the ministry that takes place each year.  Countless youth and adults from across Rhode Island have participated in this event by assisting with the building, the acting, and often as excited customers. The lives of many young people have been changed as a result of their activity with this event.  Many saw this as an introductory activity and have continued to be involved with the many other opportunities that are offered during the rest of the year at the Youth Center.
