The Nightmare Review 2023

The Nightmare Review 2023

On October 21st, we visited The Nightmare Haunted House located at 509 East Hunter Lane, Minooka, IL. 60447. This home haunt is free to all, but they are accepting cash donations for Shorewood HUGS!

While this haunt is run out of a garage, don’t be fooled! There is plenty to see, and the acting was top notch! While waiting in line, we met with plenty of actors and one tried giving one of our managers a haircut! They really know how to keep the people waiting to go in entertained and excited!

Once inside, you receive instructions from a demon, then you are free to begin the haunt. Let me tell you, they used every space possible for actors, scenery, and more! The thrills were never ending! The Nightmare doesn’t feel like a home haunt, it feels like one of the bigger haunts with how much detail they put in the rooms. Plus ,the performances inside the haunt and outside are top notch acting by The Nightmare’s crew. That just tells you what level Nightmare Haunted House is at. We keep coming back because these guys keep stepping up their game every time we do, every year taking it to the next level. If you want to build a home haunt, then you have to visit The Nightmare and see how it’s done! This is a haunt that is made with love and it shows. This crew brings you a show, it’s not screaming and boo, they put on a whole performance and we were just blown away by how great they were! Outside the haunt, there is jewelry for sale made by the actors, as well as candy for anyone to take a piece on the way out. On the poster behind the booth, you can scan a QR code for merchandise and like mentioned before, there is a donation jar for charity. I highly recommend The Nightmare, this haunt does not disappoint! It is also a free Halloween activity for the season! All the donations go to a great cause.
