Here Are The Top Five Scariest Haunted Houses Located In Illinois

I still remember going to my first haunted house. I was around eight years old. My parents were going with some friends, and they took me along. I originally wasn't going to enter the attraction, but my dad's buddy convinced me to be brave and check it out. That scared the crap out of me. It was a haunted ship theme at the DuPage County Fairgrounds.

According to Secret Chicago...

It’s officially fall in Chicago, which means it’s spooky season! Halloween will be here before you know it, and creepy, scary decorations can be found on every corner of the city. If you’re someone who loves the thrills, you’ll want to get a head start on visiting haunted houses.

I didn't go to another haunted house for many years after that. When I was finally old enough to enjoy it, I was all in. Every year, my friends and I were looking for the scariest haunted houses in Illinois. When we turned 16, our crew would drive all over the suburbs to get our fright on. It's been many years since I've been to one because my family isn't into being scared, but someday I hope to go again.
