American Horrorplex: #1-Ranked Haunt in Kentucky — WHAS11 2024

In October 2024, WHAS11 reported on a ranking that meant a lot to everyone at the American Horrorplex — the Louisville haunt I co-own — being rated #1 in the state of Kentucky by Scare Factor, the haunt-ranking site that grades haunted houses across three states.

The story has the details right: the Horrorplex's featured owner, Travis Boling, started working in the scare business at 14 — first at the old Psychomania in Clarksville, then building 7th Street Haunt after Psychomania burned down, and finally the Horrorplex. The quotes in the article are his: "Whenever we started, we were the trash haunt. We used everything we could from the side of the road and burnt up props from other haunts — and now we're number one, and it feels great." That's the real story of this place — from the ashes of a burned-down haunt to the top of the state rankings.

As a co-owner, I've watched that arc from close range. It's the same Louisville haunt world I built the Asylum in a decade earlier — same hustle, same family, same refusal to quit. The Scare Factor #1 ranking is theirs to own, and I'm proud to be part of it.
