Curse of the Mummy is a small yard display located in Chicago.
The main part of the display, and the part for which it was named, was a large section off to the side that featured -you guessed it - a mummy.
This section consisted of a large crypt-like structure that served as a tomb for the mummy. It was eerily lit by red lights and some spotlights reflecting off of the background. As visitors got close, sensors triggered the mummy, who then began to rise out of his tomb to confront them. Overall, it was quite an effective effect, and despite the fact that there was not a lot to look at here, what was on display was creative and entertaining. We look forward to seeing the 2015 version!
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.

As a yard display, Dark Shadows already ranks up there with some of the better ones, but that's not all Dark Shadows offers. The real fun comes from the home haunt portion, which is located in the garage. Although the garage is small, the haunt seems rather large, and a number of different and varied scenes are found within. The layout and some of the rooms change every year, but one of our favorite scenes, which features a jungle setting, a wooden bridge, and a large snake, is always there. We must say that the operators do a good job of actually making a garage seem like a jungle, at least for a few moments. There is even some great misty fog that rolls through the jungle area - good stuff!

Commentary - Evil Intentions Haunted House 2014 - Elgin, IL
If you are looking for a haunt that gives you chills and creepy feelings
as opposed to a laugh or some minor scares, look no further than Evil
Intentions. In all of our years of haunt touring, we can honestly say
only a select few haunts have actually given us the creeps, and the only
one in recent memory is Evil Intentions.
