The Top 4 Haunted Houses In The Rockford Area

When I was little, I would be easily frightened. I got over that problem pretty quickly and started really getting into the scary aspects of Halloween. My friends and I would watch horror movies non-stop for the whole month of October. The grosser, the better for us.

Another activity we were big fans of during the Halloween season was going to haunted houses. I was lucky enough to grow up in the suburbs of Chicago where they were plentiful. There were so many scary ones. It was definitely worth waiting in line for.
