Basement of the Dead

Regularly ranked as one of the top haunted houses in Illinois by Halloween connoisseurs, Basement of the Dead has been providing seasonal scares since 2000. Explore the dark, sinister confines to encounter demented doctors and nurses, creepy dolls and a cult. Admission also includes entry to Shattered 3D, a circus-themed space lit by blacklights and filled with mesmerizing art and creepy clowns. If you want to avoid jump scares, visit during the Night of Isolation Wednesdays October 11-25, when you can explore the scenes without the actors, using only the illumination from a glowstick. For an extra spooky experience, go November 3-4 when the lights are all out but the performers are still there.
