HauntedHouseChicago.com's Top Haunted Houses

The HHC Official Review Team visits roughly 50 haunted houses each season and compares them all to each other, then the members of the team deliberate and debate their top choices, finally agreeing on the Top 13 for the season. This makes for far more informed reviews and ratings. The Review Team is headed by Kris Zahrobsky, who founded HauntedHouseChicago.com over 10 years ago and has been reviewing haunted houses here for over a decade. With a love of all things haunted, a knowledge of the history of haunted houses in Chicagoland and his yearly trek to see as many haunted houses as he can, Kris knows Chicago haunted houses!
