- MRMelissa RayaNov 13, 20255.0Insidious- was epic… room was small then ofc extended as the game went on. 10/10!
- MMMiki MyshkowecNov 10, 20255.0It was great. Especially the monster grand entrance!
- CTChristine TaylorNov 3, 20255.0This is lower budget In comparison to Disturbia in Downers Grove, but more terrifying! It was incredibly well done and didn’t need a million animatronics like at Disturbia to get scares. It was actually really well done and more of a fun time while you’re waiting too.
- LLliset leonNov 2, 20255.0This was the best haunted house I have ever been to. I felt like it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The whole cast was amazing. I felt honored to be a part of it. You all made me feel special at the end. It was a great ending to my Halloween 🎃. Thank you all for scaring the pants off of me. ( My boyfriend loved it too)
- ARAustin RohrerOct 26, 20255.0Our first visit to Realm of Terror Haunted House was absolutely incredible and we are so glad we finally checked it out. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere hits you with intense energy and you can feel the suspense building. The actors nail the timing on their scares and the whole experience keeps you alert and on edge the entire time. Every section is filled with insane detail and unique themes that clearly took a lot of creativity and dedication to build. I read a little bit about how the owner actually started this at the age of 13, and that passion really shows. This is not a seasonal hobby. This haunted attraction has been growing and evolving for years because someone genuinely loves creating fear in the most thrilling way possible. You can see the care in every dark hallway and twisted design choice. We left with that perfect mix of laughter and adrenaline that only a truly terrifying haunted house can deliver. If you are looking for the best haunted house near Lake County or anywhere in the Chicago area, Realm of Terror Haunted House should be your first stop. We are beyond happy with our experience and will definitely be coming back next year with even more friends who think they can handle it. Highly recommend if you want something unforgettable and professionally terrifying.
