Big City Haunting

Picture credit - Midnight Terror Haunted House - Chicago Tribune 

Love this picture - one of the best scenes in Midnight Terror. Real water - was an area where you slid around in oatmeal ~ Would need to explain the scene better. But it was cool. Had some good visuals going on here. 

If you don’t work all year, March is generally the time for haunters to break out of hibernation and get creative. This year, Halloween has come early. Windy City Haunters is giving owners, actors and interested creatures a chance to get creative. If you’re into makeup or considering becoming a haunt owner, you’ll want to check this out . 

$30 gets you in for the entire weekend - classes, costume contest and breakfast included.  Media class the same as what Transworld is featuring for $50 ~ If you're a haunter you'll want to register

                                  13th Floor’s Valentine’s Day X

13th Floor to me has always been known for their visuals ~ Wouldn’t expect anything less then what they constantly deliver. Scares are fun. Great costumes. May wish to grab a vip coming here - always a good wait coming here.

      Valentine’s Day Massacre - at Massacre Haunted House

Oh Massacre, how I love thee ~ Bloody for Halloween, Gore for the New Year. Massacre is gritty and fun. Always cool prop and costume additions, continually adding on - there’s always a good surprise each season.

Midnight Terror

Another new Valentine’s Day haunt, and Halloween’s was fun. Loved their chainsaw area - nothing fancy - enjoyed the acting - fun dialog - and you should’ve seen everyone’s faces as they were running away from - actors did an excellent job.

Music

Few good shows here - my main being Spare Change playing with Lodi. If you’re South Side, you know Bryan - if not, you should see them. Their new album is out - If you dig Punk, it’s a good listen. This has been moved from the Double Door to Reggies (great food) - link will take you there instead.

The Haunting Tales of Bachelors Grove

Stumbled across this kickstarter the other day and wanted to share it. If you grew up here in Chicago, you know the tale of Bachelor's Grove. We've heard it as kids, through explorations - reports, pictures - recordings. There's many tales for Bachelor's to tell - loved this idea.

Deadline for hitting their goal is March 31st.
