The Massacre

If you’re looking to travel to the scariest haunted house in Illinois this is the place for you. The Massacre is ranked number 1 as the top scariest haunted house tour in Illinois and is well worth the money and a good scare.

There are three types of tickets you can purchase. The first being the general admission ticket at the price of $25 per person. If long lines aren’t your style and you know you’re definitely not turning back from the terror of this mad house, you can purchase a $35 flash pass which will bring you to a much shorter line in minutes! If that doesn’t satisfy your need for a scare then you want the bonus add-on to this terror packed adventure you can throw in an escape room for a $60 Platinum V.I.P. Immediate Access Pass instead, which has NO LINE and you get an escort to the front of the line and straight into the fun!
