Haunt Owners
Do you own a haunted house in the Chicagoland area, or within 100 miles of Chicago? Would you like it listed on this site? It’s easy!
Rules and Parameters for being listed on HauntedHouseChicago.com as an attraction:
- Your attraction must be dark-themed in nature: Haunted houses, haunted hayrides, Halloween-themed stage events or festivals, etc.
- If your event is not a haunted attraction but is horror-themed (especially if it’s not tied to the Halloween season), email darkchicago@gmail.com to have it listed at ChicagoHorror.com, ChicagoZombie.com or ChicagoVampire.com instead.
- Your haunted attraction must be no more than 100 miles from downtown Chicago.
- One listing per physical address. If you are hosting multiple events at your location, choose “Haunted Theme Parks” as your category, then list the details in the event description.
- HauntedHouseChicago.com listings are for general information about your attraction (where you are, how to contact you, your website, etc.); you must have a website (even if it’s just a Facebook Page) to provide your event’s details like admission prices, dates and hours of operation, etc.
