Are you ready to embark on a spine-tingling journey through the heart of fear? At Factory of Terror Haunted House, they've been crafting nightmares and creating unforgettable memories for thrill-seekers of all ages. With a legacy of over 28 years, they are the go-to destination for those in search of the ultimate scare.

Mike Quill has been an avid home haunter and haunted house enthusiast since he was 13. Through various home haunt events and decades of research in his youth, later earning his BS in Business Management in 2012 and completing an internship at HAuNTcon, he felt ready to take the plunge into operating an attraction in the industry he loved. In 2013, he opened Fear Town Haunted House in Seekonk, MA, as an outdoor trail through the woods. In 2020 he purchased the well-known Factory of Terror in Fall River, MA, and runs both shows with his year-round staff.
