We had a one of a kind experience at 13th Floor Haunted House!!! Located 1940 George St, Melrose Park, IL 60160. Prices are very reasonable for the show and scenery they created. Regular price is $20, 30$ for Fast pass and $40 for skipping the line. First thing once we arrived, we were greeted by clowns with creepy smiles. I was freaked out, as I am not a fan of clowns. While I was waiting in line to go in, a guy with a giant hatchet came out of nowhere and scared the hell out of me!

Throughout the 25 minutes in the haunt, I tried my best not to run! I was so on edge; in a good way, of course. I couldn’t imagine walking through the haunt alone, but I definitely recommend it. One thing I thought was cool was that most of the first part of the haunt was redone. Now yes, there was some stuff they left alone, but for the most part they did an overhaul on the first part of the haunt. For example, last year they had an iron gate you had to walk through to enter the haunt whereas now they have a wooden gate. I remember walking into this red room and looking up and seeing a man dangling in chains from the ceiling. He was horrifying and you could almost feel this feeling of despair in the pit of your stomach when he would scream. My favorite room was the swamp. I loved the visual effect of the lights and the swirling smoke almost like you are hallucinating on swamp gas. In the second part of the haunt, they have a casino room with a card table and a bunch of slot machines. I was set up and lit like walking into a real casino.

Now, to be reasonable, there were some aspects of the haunt that could have been worked on. There were moments where some of the actors were badly timed or just seemed exhausted and in need of a recharge. Now it could’ve just been an off night, but I was something I noticed and felt should be addressed.

Overall the haunt was amazing and had a very welcoming environment. Beware of the jump scares, because you will be caught off guard! I recommend everyone adding 13th Floor Haunted Houses to their list of haunts to visit. To buy tickets go to https://www.13thfloorchicago.com/
