It's Chuckles Sweet 16 and you're all invited!!!! Da Count and I were in the mood for Sunday scares after a full weekend of haunted housing, but needed to be in the city as it was a work night at his mortal job. So we decided to check out The Park After Dark at Chase Park, a haunted house and charity event…
There is something special about returning to a haunted house and discovering that the experience has changed since your last visit. Even when you know what to expect from a particular attraction, new surprises can make the experience feel fresh all over again. That was certainly the case with this year's visit to the House of Creeps! Located at Wintrust Field, home…
When our baby vampire Junior asked if we could go to a water playground, Da Count and I said "SURE" but it will be an abandoned water playground, bwahaha! So the Gregula fang-mily piled into the G-Koach and headed on over to the Abandoned Skokie Water Playground in Skokie, IL (obviously) to visit the one and only Scream Scene Haunted House, Conveniently…
Count Gregula's Crypt visited Massacre Haunted House for a taste of terror on National Haunted House Day. It had been a few years since we last came so we were hex-cited to see what was in store. Parking is plentiful (when not busy) but it was hard to find the correct lot as the sign on the building said Mind Trap Escape…
Today is the second Friday in October and you know what that means. It's National Haunted House Day!!! Team Gregula’s favorite sport is attending as many of our favorite haunted attractions in the Chicagoland area as we possibly can, so we are experts. But for the novice, the experience can actually suck, and not in a good vampire way. So as a…

Visiting water playgrounds are usually fun but what happens when you visit an abandoned water playground? Well you can find out when you visit the one and only Scream Scene Haunted House, which is a family favorite for the Gregulas. Just ask our baby vamp Junior! Located at the Abandoned Skokie Water Playground, Scream Scene is a gravely grand place to scare up…
Da Count and I were in the mood for Sunday scares after a full weekend of haunted housing, but needed to be in the city as it was a work night at his mortal job. So we decided to check out The Park After Dark at Chase Park, a haunted house and charity event to raise funds for the Chase Park after-school…
Of the many reasons why people go to haunted houses, one is the thrill and chill we get from visiting. Similar to horror movies, in the end we know we’re completely safe. We get the shivers and quickened heartbeats, yet we’re still intact, experiencing a post-haunted house rush that is sometimes indescribable. The House of Creeps is a haunted house set up…
Da Count and I love a good old-school haunted house just like we used to go to when we we kids. Well, look no further than The Catacombs at St Pascal, which by the way is Chicago's longest running haunted house since 1979! The haunt is really easy to get to as it's just west of Irving Park and Central on Chicago's…
