Ready to be spooked? Here are our top 12 haunted houses, now open near Chicago.
Down the way from the Hollywood Casino in Aurora, tucked behind a bevy of businesses and bars, is one helluva haunted experience. Upon entering, we saw a bald monster eating a woman like a chicken leg, which really set the scene. The duration of the scary fun was longer than most , mainly due to the tight turns and angles, and the animatronic monsters and dummies jumping from the walls.
We saw a masochistic operating theater, sadistic nuns, deep sea anomalies, and spiders … why are there always spiders? The coup de grâce however, of Basement of the Dead lies on the uneven floors, surprises that fall from the ceiling, and one room that literally spins you around and almost makes you lose your balance. In this way of continuous head swiveling, you tend to hunch over, trying to use all your senses to get to the end.
