What do you get when you combine an abandoned water playground, a bunch of freaky frightening monsters and a baby vampire? Well, Team Gregula plus Junior got a night out at Scream Scene Haunted House<\/a>! Located at the\u00a0Abandoned Skokie Water Playground\u00a0in Skokie (obviously), Scream Scene is a gravely great place to scare up some FUN!<\/p>\n

Conveniently located by Oakton and Skokie Blvd, the haunt location is very easy to find. Their SCREAM SCENE color changing sign with gigantic flashing led letters is easily visible from the street. FaBOOlous for photo ops!<\/p>\n

As we pulled into the parking lot, we noticed that there was a good sized crowd. It wasn’t really lines around the block, but there were plenty of folks ready for a spooky good time. Loads of teenagers were hanging out and watching them get scared from our car was kinda entertaining. One girl kept running away screaming “LEAVE ME ALONE” hahaha.<\/p>\n

By the time we got to the entrance the crowds had largely dissipated so we got in almost immediately. We had the Speed Passes so it wouldn’t have been a long wait anyway. Team Gregula highly recommends the Speed Pass option, at $23 it’s a bargain compared to a lot of other haunts. The waiting area is outside and we got lucky because it was a nice evening. Usually it’s either cold or rainy or both, so a big YaY for that!<\/p>\n

We lined up and made small talk with the staff while we waited to go inside. When it was our turn, there was a single red light bulb above the door that let us know it was time to go through the coffin-shaped door for a scary good time. And it was definitely scary! We navigated our way along the darkened hallways to a fun rotating blacklight tunnel that felt like we’re about to get turned upside down. We also visited a crazy hotel with an even wackier laundry room, went thru their famous clown maze, SO MANY CLOWNS and a hospital with demented doctors and their patients wanting OUR bodies! Not a fan of the inflatable walls (which we affectionately refer to as Satan’s Anus) but it can be a squishy good time if you like that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Scream Scene definitely upped their game with the scares this year. There were lots of unexpected twists and turns, really good animatronics and the actors were fang-tastic with the in your face frights. Oh, and don’t forget to visit the gift shop! *wink*<\/p>\n

Scream Scene Haunted House was a hex-cellent time and highly recommended for adults and teens (small children not so much). Junior especially had fun, he even made friends with the chainsaw guy!<\/p>\n
