One of Illinois’ Best Haunted Houses Opens This Friday the 13th

Get ready horror lovers, because scary season in Rockford, Illinois officially begins this weekend with the opening of Twisted Crypt Haunted House.

Halloween Must-Do List

As a long-time lover of Halloween, I must say it takes a good amount of preparation to do the season right. You must:

• Decorate your home in its terrifying best.
• Make your list of must-watch Halloween movies.
• Plan out your perfect costume.
• Get all the Halloween parties, events, and trunk-or-treat dates locked in your calendar.
• Buy the good candy early before it sells out, (and hide it somewhere so you don't eat it ahead of time).
• Find cool haunted houses to visit.

Best Haunted Houses in Northern Illinois

Living in Northern Illinois we are lucky to be just a short drive away from many awesome haunted houses to choose from, but only one of them in Rockford has been named one of Haunted Illinois' Top Ten Haunted Houses in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and that's Twisted Crypt on E State St.

If scary is what you're craving, Twisted Crypt will definitely deliver that and more! This haunted house features "10,000 Square Feet of Indoor Mystery, Chaos, and Fear. 10 Interactive Show Rooms, Sights, Sounds, Smells, and Creatures Lurking Around Every Corner". Yowsers!

So, now the big question is; what's the theme for 2024? Can you figure it out from these previews Twisted Crypt has shared on Facebook?

Sounds like we're going to experience what's it's like to be in a seriously twisted family?

I guess we'll have just have to see this Friday the 13th!
