People's Choice Vote Terminated Due to Cheating

Due to the fact that certain haunted houses simply can't resist the urge to try to cheat and stuff the ballot box in their own favor (yes, we know who you are), HauntedHouseChicago.com is doing away with the People's Choice Vote. The idea was to let the public vote for their favorites; what we're seeing are haunted houses paying people to do a technical end-run around our system. HauntedHouseChicago.com would rather kill this feature than see it abused to mislead our users.

You can still use the Skull Rating feature and write reviews for the haunted houses listed on this site, but from now on, only the HHC Official Review Team will be rating the top haunted houses each year.

Meet the Haunted House Chicago Review Team

At long last, you can meet the team that spends every October visiting dozens of Chicago-area haunted houses so that they can report back here with what they find. MEET THE TEAM!

When to Contact HauntedHouseChicago.com (and when NOT to)

If you have a question about HauntedHouseChicago.com specifically, haunted houses/Halloween in Chicago in general, want to interview somebody knowledgeable on Halloween, haunted houses and/or horror, or want to advertise on this website, absolutely contact HauntedHouseChicago.com.

If you're a haunted attraction or Halloween event owner/operator and need help getting your site correctly listed or updated, or are interested in one of our Featured or banner spots, please review the information on this page and, if you still have questions or want to secure your spot, contact HHC.

If you have a haunted house and you'd like it reviewed, or have a question about the review process, speak to our Chief Reviewer Kris.

If you notice something on the site appears to be broken or not working correctly, DEFINITELY contact HHC.

If you are a performer, actor, vendor or otherwise have a product or service you'd like to offer to or through haunted houses in Chicago, emailing us here at HauntedHouseChicago.com is not the way to go about that. HHC does not contact haunted houses on your behalf. What we have done for you, however, is provide a current list of active haunted houses within 180 miles of Chicago, complete with their contact information. Please contact them directly.

If you have a question about a specific haunted house that's not answered on this website, HauntedHouseChicago.com staff members don't have the answer - the individual haunted houses that list themselves on this site do. Please contact them directly.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL submissions to this site - haunted house listings, edits to those listings, reviews, etc., are first reviewed by HHC staff before they go live on the site. In other words, once you submit something, you WILL NOT see it immediately - one of our team will check it for accuracy, appropriate content and other factors and then, if it's good to go, will approve it into the live site.

Getting Ready for Halloween 2011

We here at HauntedHouseChicago.com have spent the last few months working on the website, streamlining it and making it even easier to use. Part of that process required database upgrades which were unable to carry forward account passwords, so if you want to login to your old account, YOU MUST RESET YOUR PASSWORD.

Luckily, that's easy to do (as long as you still have access to the email address you used when you signed up for your account).

1. Just click "LOG IN" at the top of this page, then in the white box that appears, 
2. Click "Forgot your password?" You'll be asked for your HHC username and the email address you used when you created your account
3. Fill'em in, hit "Get New Password" and one will be sent to you, pronto!
