HellsGate

I have had the pleasure of visiting Hellsgate at least 5 times and it gets better every single year. The interior is beautifully done from hardwood floors to crown molding. It is everything a haunted house should be. The actors are just amazing, its not a bunch of "Get out!"s or random snarls, there is thought behind the action and dialogue. The queue line actors are always the fun to interact with and will keep you entertained until you enter the mansion. It is a challenge to not just marvel at the beauty of this evil old mansion as you meander the various rooms but the entities within will keep you on your toes.

Fun! Would 100% go again! I screamed more than I ever had before!

This is one of the most thought out experiences ever. I use the word experience because that’s what it is. It is not just your normal haunt, it is an adventure. Scenes and storyline were executed perfectly and the experience is top notch. Definitely worth checking out.

I go down to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios every year (and have been doing that for the last 20+ years) so it's typical difficult for me to fully enjoy more "local" haunted houses. HellsGate is definitely an exception to that! It's a great story with some great decor and actors. It's by far my favorite haunted house I've done outside of Halloween Horror Nights and IMO the best in the Chicagoland area.
