The Legendary Too Scary Money Back Haunted House

Published by October 3, 2008 Category: HHC News & Updates

It was bound to happen. Today I got an email asking about “that haunted house in West Chicago that’s 20 or 21 floors and so scary that if you finish it, you get your money back.”

So I don’t have to send the same email 100 more times before the season’s over, I’m telling you all what those of us in the haunted house industry have known for years – The Legendary Too Scary Money Back Haunted House… doesn’t exist.

To read about this interesting and persistent urban legend, check out the Snopes.com article about it here: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/haunted.asp. (Snopes.com is the best place to start if you want to find out if something you’ve found on the internet or in an email is actually true).

Sorry if I’m bursting anybody’s bubble, but hey, there are dozens of REAL haunted houses just waiting to scare the bejeezus out of you!
