- Nominee - 2025 Haunt of the Year
- Winner - 2022 Haunt of the Year
THE DERANGED HAUNTED ATTRACTION | BELLE PLAINE, IOWA
The Deranged Haunted Attraction in Belle Plaine, Iowa, takes you back in time to the 1970s. It was an era of serial killers, unsolved mysteries, and nightmares that seemed all too real…
But what if the horrors of the past never really disappeared?
Step into a world where nothing is as it seems, darkness hides the unimaginable, and every turn could lead you straight into the hands of something—or someone—you were never meant to find. From disturbing encounters to terrifying scenes inspired by the darkest side of the 1970s, The Deranged will push your nerves to the limit and make you question whether you should take another step.
You may hear the screams of others around you. You may catch something moving in the shadows. And you may begin to wonder if the nightmare is only an attraction… or something much more sinister.

Reviews
Glad I took my teens here. They were screaming the whole time, which made it for me. Staff was nice. Waiting wasn't that bad. It was great that we sat inside instead of standing in the cold line. We'll be back for sure.

We do a haunt road trip every October. So far this is one of the best on our list. Long walk through and lots of actors. The scares kept coming til the end. They stop groups so you don't run into the people ahead of you. Smart move. Good price too.

Drove from Ames based on reviews & this place did not disappoint. Been over 20 years since we've been to one that was worth the admission cost. A little more time spaced out between groups would be the only recommendation. Chainsaws were awesome, scared the living h*ll out of my daughter, loved it!! Thanks everyone for a great experience that we'll all remember for a long time!!

I have been to haunted houses all over Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, and Florida. The Deranged Haunted Attraction is one of the best haunts I have been to.
The attention to detail in their scenes are amazing. There is a good mix of animatronics and live actors with lots of jump scares.
The Deranged is also a great price for what you get to experience and it is one of the longer haunts I have been through.
There is also indoor seating which is amazing if it is raining or cold outside. You get a ticket with a number and get to sit and watch a movie while you wait for your number to come up.
10/10! I would highly recommend checking it out

WOW WOW WOW this is the absolute best haunted house I’ve been, I think, ever. Come here, be scared, simple as that. The props were fantastic and intricate. The actors fun, creative, and came out of nowhere. The light design was perfect, blinding lights, long shadows, complete darkness, you name it. They really understand the importance of lulls and scares of a haunted house here.
We drove an hour from Iowa City and will probably be back this season!
My wife, who wasn’t scared at Eclypse (no shade tho), was VERY scared here. They got her a LOT. And she usually keeps it together very well, “I know they can’t touch me”, but The Deranged overcame her unflappability! Kudos ya’ll!

It took as about 90 minutes to get here. Glad we did. Sets looked better than I expected for a haunt this size. Some rooms were so dark. I just followed the person in front of me. Got jumped at least 5 times. Will surely be back next year.
