Episode 4 - Fear Factory (Salt Lake City, UT)www.fearfactoryslc.com@fearfactoryslc

Not what you would expect to find in Salt Lake City, the award-winning Fear Factory is ranked as the #3 haunted attraction in the world by Buzzfeed and #10 in the United States by USA Today and Travel Channel. This massive haunted attraction is made up of six buildings, up to six stories high, with two underground passages.

The story goes that the Portland Cement Works was cursed after the death of George Howe, who was was pulled into a coal grinder while performing nightly maintenance to oil the gears of the machine. Following the accident, many more deaths followed - falling into boiling vats, similar grinding accidents, death by suicide, dismemberment, and many others. The factory eventually shut down when it was finally realized that the factory was intent on keeping its gears oiled in blood.

The property fell into heavy disrepair and sat content as a vacant, yet actively haunted cement factory. Various businesses came along with good intentions, but never lasted long. So, in 2010 the Fear Factory group began exploring the expansive property, the silos, and the multiple underground tunnels.

Since opening in 2011, it has been a fan favorite of Salt Lake City residents and visitors from across the globe. Today, Fear Factory has grown to be one of Utah’s - and the world’s - favorite Halloween entertainment attraction - despite requiring a signed waiver before entering.

In addition to the terrifying history and the Halloween scares, Fear Factory prides itself on being one of a very few haunted houses in the country to host the “Don’t Be a Monster” anti-bullying program. The free program is taught in 5th through 8th grades, and emphasizes empathy, understanding, and age appropriate curricula that helps youth (and their school adults) to better approach and reduce bullying.
