Iowa City Haunted Houses and Attractions

I don't like scary movies or books or anything.  Honestly, I'm a big wimp.  So, do you think I'd go anywhere near a haunted house?  No, normally not, but I've got two scare-crazy kiddos.  Yes, my seven and four year old children are braver than I am.  They begged me to go through one when we were at Bloomsbury Farm (Scream Acres).  We went through "Carnival Chaos," which was rife with killer clowns and other jump scares.  I desperately held onto to my four year old as he joyfully went from one nightmare filled room to the next.  The kids loved it, and want to go to even more.  Me?  I'm done, but maybe you can take them for me.  Here are some of the haunted houses and other attractions in and around the Iowa City area:
