We are The Horror Tourers - visiting home haunts and professional haunts in and around the Chicagoland area and reviewing them. We started visiting professional haunted houses as a group in the early 2000s and around 2010 we started visiting home haunts that were as well done, and in some cases better, than the professional haunts. Over the last few years we have been documenting our experiences with photos and videos, including our on-the-spot reviews.

October 18, 2013 - Asylum Xperiment Haunted House in Villa Park

In short, it was fantastic, and left us wondering why we didn't manage it sooner. Lots to see, lots of detailed sets and actors, as well as an almost 30 minute walkthrough all added up to a great time.
Check out our video commentary here.

October 1, 2013 - Fear Itself at Legend Park, Mishawaka, IN
The Fear Itself complex is consists primarily of one large, long building which houses four out of the five haunts (a sixth, "Rat Trap" was under construction when we arrived, and it appeared to be in a location separate to the main building). The closeness of all of the haunts saves a lot of time and makes it easy to get form haunt to haunt. The five haunts on offer when we visited were the Thirteenth Hour and Sinister Circus (both 3D experiences),
Rock Monkey Caves, Lost in the Woods (a haunted trail),
and the Cuckoo's Next (a psych hospital).
