Top-notch performances

VERIFIED

This one was amazing. I had visited two other haunts this season, and this one was better than those by a mile. The actors dished out a top-notch performance. Every aspect of the haunt was perfectly planned and executed. In retrospect, there wasn’t even a single dull moment I could think of. Staff was helpful as well. Highly recommend this one.

An immersive horror experience

This is the best Halloween haunted house in the area imho. I went during opening weekend and the wait was reasonable. The actors are great at getting into it with you. Immersive horror throughout. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Good one

Great experience for me (18) and my cousin (15). I always love all the new stuff they come out with every year. They do a great job not making it same ole haunt year after year like the others do. One of the best haunted houses in Illinois & Def best in Chicago! Scary and creative themes. Awesome experience every year!

Best effects..

Went on a Friday night enjoyed it very much! Best Hollywood special affects ever in a haunted house. The costume actors do a great job. I've never been to a haunt that great in my life. The chills and thrills will surely last a lifetime.

Super Scary

Super Scary Scares. It doesn't matter whether you are a repeat visitor or not, Basement of dead still scares the hell out of you! A lot of great robotic effects and stage props. Definitely a must go if you want to be scared.

Scary fun...

This is a phenomenal haunt. One of the best setups I've seen. It was scary and fun at the same time. Couple of places totally caught me off guard. Really creepy and the actors are great. It was definitely worth the money.

The haunted house was super scary! Staff performances was professional throughout. Scares came from all sides and we never had a hint of what comes next. I highly recommend it to all scare lovers.

Exciting moments throughout

Best haunt experience! Went with family and we really had a great time. The sets were amazing and the atmosphere has been really creepy. Both attractions were amazing and had good scare factors. The actors were superb and well talented. The props were great and the staffs were also very friendly. Had lots of scare and exciting moments throughout the escape room. Bought tickets online at a discounted rate. It is really worth the experience. Jump scares were amazing and had many unexpected scares from the actors in almost every room in the haunted house. Waiting for next season.

One of the best

One of the best haunt I had ever visited! The haunt consists of different sections where each one is amazing and well designed. The escape room and the haunted house were overall a good experience. Escape room has been quite a challenging task and the staffs guided well throughout the room. The actors were just amazing and they made some really scary moments.
