What Guests Are Saying

“I have been going for several years now and this year they completely out did themselves. It was a really epic experience this time. The actors costumes and skits were really cool and creepy as heck. Well done! Highly recommend”

Recommends Nicole M., Facebook

“This place was definitely one of the better and more actor driven haunts I’ve been to. It’s extremely interactive and they all seem to truly love what they do. … Makeup and costuming A++++. … Def worth the two hour drive!”

★★★★★ Nathan C., Google

“I usually go to the ones outside of Rockford thinking the Rockford ones aren’t scary! Tonight I was proved wrong, from the moment I parked the car the show started! … this haunted house is way better than some of the popular ones I been to in Chicago!!”

★★★★★ Odessa J., Google

“We’ve been going to Twisted Crypt for years, and this year was the best yet. … The actors are awesome! Their energy, creativity, and makeup are incredible and really bring each scene to life.”

★★★★★ Lydia B., Google

“Best immersion haunted house in the Midwest. The sights, smells, and sounds will keep you on the edge not knowing what is behind the next turn or door. … This is a one of a kind experience.”

★★★★★ Christina T., Google

“I have been to (at least it feels like) a million haunted houses, but this a really good one! Very actor driven, which in my opinion either makes or breaks the haunt. Super engaging in almost every single room.”

★★★★★ Lindsey C., Google
