The Mall of America is doubling down on frights this spooky season with a massive 45,000-square-foot haunted attraction, “Onionhead’s Revenge.” Presented by American Monsters, the Halloween attraction is described as a “haunt” unlike no other.” The event will feature one-of-a-kind offerings like specialty drinks and themed cocktails and food, along with thrills and chills.
