I want to know what the name of the phobia of haunted houses is. And I don’t mean like, oh there’s a ghost in my house, so that means its haunted. I mean the Haunted Houses that are set up for “fun” at Hallowe’en and carnivals and stuff.

Is there a phobia name for it? Cause my best friend has it, but we wanted to know the real term.

Any google search only seems to reveal the “ghost lives in house” type of haunted houses. Help!

    We can as well invent a new name and, once it becomes popular, such newly invented word may be, later on, included in the future dictionaries. For instance, we can term it as as “Phohauhou.” I mean the three first letters from “phobia of haunted house”. Or you may also likewise select a name of your own choice like this.
