The Bottom Line: Basement of the Dead and Shattered 3D are staples in the Haunted House Community terrifying guests since 2003! As the show evolves and progresses, so does the party outside with a live DJ! One part fear, and one part fun makes for the perfect Halloween cocktail! Outside is one of the most epic waiting areas and haunt parties in the entire Midwest! Inside is dark and dirty filled with all of the worst creatures you can imagine. But, don’t let the dark make you think they skimp on the details! Special news for 2023: This is the last year for their 2nd attraction, Shattered 3D which is a 3D haunted attraction complete with glasses. We have been teased with what is to take its place, but we are sworn to secrecy! BUT, it is going to be HUGE!

But, don’t just take our word for it, check out this exclusive media from our visit:
