Member Spotlight: Silo of Screams Named #1 Fan-Voted Haunted Attraction in Texas for 2025

The Temple Chamber of Commerce congratulates Silo of Screams, owned by John Guthrie, on being named the #1 Fan-Voted Haunted Attraction in Texas in ScurryFace.com’s 2025 Top Fan-Voted Haunts competition!

This statewide recognition, earned through thousands of fan votes, celebrates the creativity, production, and passion that have made Silo of Screams one of Central Texas’ most popular seasonal attractions.

“To be fan-voted #1 in Texas feels amazing and is a tribute to all the hard work that our staff and actors put in each year,” said owner John Guthrie.

“We started in 2017 when the Temple Chamber and then-President Rod Henry joined us for photos and our ribbon cutting. What began as a fun way to provide the community with something unique became a creative continuation of my entrepreneurial journey.”

Now celebrating nine thrilling seasons, Silo of Screams wrapped up its 2025 Halloween season on Saturday, November 1, and will reopen in mid-December with a family-friendly, no-scare Christmas walking trail—promising “no scares, just smiles.”

Guthrie credits his wife Amanda, mentor David Neman, and countless volunteers for their dedication and support. “It truly does take a village,” he shared.
