A review of one of our 2013 favorites - Psychosis Haunted House in Elgin. Unfortunately, some changes for 2014 made it a bit less enjoyable this time around.
FULL REVIEW
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.

Ghoulson Family Reunion - Aurora, IL
Overall, Ghoulson Family Reunion is a cool setup that is not too scary,
so it would be good for people with smaller children. If you look
closely, you'll even see a skeleton in the passenger seat of the car in
the driveway! The display's property is located in a cul de sac, and as
such it can be very quiet there, which makes the entire setup all the
more creepy, but not in your face scary. Haunt fans of all ages are sure
to appreciate the mix of humorous and frightful on display here.

Spirits on Sproat Yard Display - Oak Lawn, IL
Our 2014 review of a really enjoyable yard display in Oak Lawn - Spirits on Sproat. If you like movie monsters, this is the place to go! This
year marks the 10th anniversary of one of our favorite yard displays -
Spirits on Sproat. Like many haunts we visit, this is one that has gown
over the years to include more and more props and figures. In fact, this
year the display has expanded to the point that it has moved from the
front yard to the back yard, giving it more room to grow.
