Thanks to everyone who helped make this weekend amazing! We'd love to hear from you if you went through. You can leave us a review here or at Haunted Illinois. They're a great resource for haunted houses in Illinois. Also be sure to vote for us for your "favorite haunt." Three more weekends left to check us out!

Today's the day! So excited to welcome our guest haunters and put on a great event! 7-11pm, $10 per person. Face coverings required. No open toe shoes (sandals/ flip flops) allowed. Located in Galesburg, behind lakeside water park. Spook Hollow Blood Moon Manor, Forest City, IL 👻💀🎃💀🎈

AMAZING NEWS! Saturday we'll be welcoming some guest haunters from Spook Hollow and Blood Moon Manor! We look forward to having them join us!

After an amazing evening last night (Thank you all!) Mother nature is winning out tonight. We will NOT be open tonight (Saturday) due to trail conditions. Next weekend's forecast looks amazing! We hope to see you then!

10/02/2020

It's here! Opening night! We look forward to seeing you!
Here's some things to remember:

WEAR YOUR FACE COVERING!! Your shirt pulled up over your nose is NOT a face covering.

Dress for the weather! It's supposed to be nearly freezing this evening. Blankets will not be allowed inside the haunt. Make sure you have on appropriate shoes, too. (no sandals, flip flops or open toe shoes allowed!)

Opening is at 7 - that is when we will start selling tickets. Inevitably, something happens and we end up with a delay. You may wait in line for a few minutes while we fix a situation. We appreciate your patience ahead of time!

We'll have hand sanitizer available at the ticket booth and at the gate.

Saturday's weather is looking iffy. If we close or reduce hours due to weather, we'll be sure to announce it here!

Currently planning to open Friday, October 2nd. Stay tuned for more info! See our website for a more detailed outline of our COVID-19 rules.

Firstly, and most importantly – FACE COVERINGS ARE REQUIRED. Our entire staff will be wearing face coverings and taking precautions when interacting with each other and our guests. Therefore we ask the same of our guests. This will not be negotiable. There are no exceptions. If you do not like this rule, please do not come to the haunt and we’ll be happy to see you next year.​

Face coverings cover your nose and mouth area. If you do not wish to wear your face covering like this, please see above.

Any patron who removes their face covering while inside the haunt will be asked to leave without a refund. Again, no exceptions.
​
Ropes will be used to mark the path to follow. No actors are allowed outside of roped area nor are guests allowed inside the ropes.
​
As always – there’s no touching. You don’t touch them; they won't touch you.
​
Our line will be spaced with 10 feet between groups. 10 feet spacing will be marked on the ground, please stay with the group you came with.
​
Groups size will be 3 or less. If your group has more than 3 you will be asked to separate into different groups before entering. This is NOT up for debate. Please decide before reaching the gatekeeper how your group will be separated.
​
We will be keeping count of those currently inside the haunt and will time groups to limit capacity to approved levels. This also applies to those waiting in line. If the line reaches a capacity over our approved level, you may be asked to wait in your vehicle until the line shortens.
​
We ask that you do not wait around outside the haunt, especially if your group is separated. Please wait in or near your vehicle in the parking lot.
​
On a good news note – we are lowering our price to $10 per person this year. We look forward to seeing everyone this fall and hope that you stay safe, social distance and wear your face coverings so we can get through this and back to “normal” soon.
