COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Missouri Attorney General’s office has launched an investigation into a Boone County haunted house that did not open its doors this past fall.

The Attorney General’s office received 25 complaints from consumers about Fear Fest, according to AG spokesperson Madeline Sieren.

Columbia’s Fear Fest Haunted House made an official announcement on Oct. 31 stating that it was not possible to open this season and that refunds were being processed in bunches. It had racked up 15 safety violations that were never resolved.  

A number of people told ABC 17 News last week that they never received a refund from Fear Fest for purchased tickets after it shut down.
