House of Torment Haunted House review

House of Torment Haunted House is located at 8240 Austin Ave. Morton Grove, IL 60053. Tickets for General admission cost differently depending on what day you go ranging anywhere from $19 to $30 on the night you go plus taxes. Fast Pass gets you too the front of your line faster for $10 more than General admission for that night. Skip the Line tickets mean exactly what they say for $20 plus regular admission. First thing in line we see is this garbage demon guy with a red eye that walk up to us and want’s to know, “what’s with the book? What you got there?” We explain that we are part of Halloween Blast’s review team. After that he wandered off to scare some more people. This blind cheerleader chick comes up and is sniffing my friend. It was weirder because she had no eyes that I could see. She also was making this awful croaking, sniffling, coughing, bronchitis like sound that was weird. We all had a few favorites in the first part of the haunt. They had one hallway where we thought mosquito’s or something had gotten in but they had a bunch of thin black string you can’t see with the light flickering. Also at a point we could barely hear anything the music was so loud, and when I mentioned so…best…timed…fog…horn…EVER!!! I couldn’t stop laughing for the time it took to walk through 2 other rooms!!! Walking into the hoarders house (I really have nothing else to describe it as) some rotund little hag jumped up from under a table stacked high with literally everything but a sink and scared the hell out of my friend. One of the coolest things was the Red Line train rocking like the actual thing as you went through it. That was about the end of house 1. House 2 starts with another short line where Charles the Butler asks you riddles. If you get them right, you get a small bag of candy. Immediately in this door, the cheerleader from before gets me from the blinds. You’re really not expecting someone to reach through something flat against a wall. This house had a mirror maze with curved mirrors in it that really throws off your brain. We all had to stay close to a wall so we didn’t run into one. Coolest room in this half? Wide open room, densely fogged, very slow strobe that flashes for ½ a second. You’re liable to scare yourself in this room. You go through a library maze that’s extremely intricate, and I’m pretty sure they moved the chairs blocking your path a few times to circle you around. One of the last things I remember was this giant animatronic demonic ram’s skull twice the size of me lunging out of a hole in the wall. This didn’t scare me, but my god was that awesome!!! Best part was, even when you try to leave they aren’t done with you. Had an actor that was eyeing my friend before we went into the haunt come knee skiing by from behind us on knee pads just to scare my friend. Talk about dedication!!! I think it is so cool that this year was mainly made up of new actors. This was their first year of acting and man did they pull it off!!! Nice job guys!!! Was this haunt worth the money? YES!!! Would we come back to this haunt? Definitely. Just asked a few friends if they want to go there with us again actually. 10/10 guys!!!
